Review summary

Disappointing. We have been on a lot of cruises, but this is the first with RC. For the higher price they charge over other cruises, we expected better. Probably won't cruise them again

Went to the Muir Woods, it was nice. But the stop at Sausalito was worthless. People should not be dropped there, there is nothing there. We also did the hop on hop off. The bus driver drove like a maniac and refused to tell us anything about any of the stops
