Review summary

Having cruised before with other cruiselines, this was my first with RC and was left very disappointed. All activities and bars on the top deck closed at 9pm. There was no atmosphere on this cruise. Communication in the cruise compass was confusing in terms of attire and special nights. Very dissatisfied

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

I booked this cabin for extra room for 4 ppl, the room consisted of of king bed and a sofa. Unfortunately the sofa when pulled out only extended in length to 3/4 of the size of a normal bed. Whilst this is ok for kids, it is not suitable for an adult or teens and certainly not for 2 ppl comfortably. The size of the cabin was quite good though
