Review summary

I am being generous giving this a 3 star rating. By far this was the worst cruise I have ever taken. My bed was hard as a rock, my cabin dirty, the coffee was not drinkable. The food in MDR was good but one night we came late after asking them to hold our table & they gave it away. I hate the constant up selling with staff walking around asking you to book their restaurants. I hated the lack of ice. What is that about? I never did get any in my cabin. The ship is actually beautiful & I wish we had a better experience. I only give this a 3 star because the staff was kind and the food mediocre. They really deserve a two.

Agree about the selling... does get a bit much at times doesn't it. You now have to ask for ice in your cabin ..has been this way for many years . Did you tell housekeeping about your dirty cabin?

We were on Explorer to Alaska last June and we had similar experiences plus other things- soda machines never worked, banging noise below us at all hours, same people in hot tubs all week, MDR food was not good all week (we gave up and went to Windjammer after the third night), etc. We are loyal RCCL customers so we were very disappointed. We were given a credit toward this year’s cruise because we had so many issues. Loved Alaska.
