Review summary

This was the most disappointing cruise we have taken. The stops were not very exciting. On-Board it felt that since it was "Just a 4 day cruise" (which we heard over and over) they just didn't try. We had one show from the onboard performers that was fantastic. The magician didn't do anything original. The tenors were "OK" at best. However, the last night was 70's night. It started with Michael and Danielle ( I think I got the names right) on the bridge in the Promenade it was fantastic. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. Then the activity staff came out and kept the party going. It really was a blast! Why wasn't there things like that going on throughout all four day? I have to say, if it had been my first cruise I might never have made a second. Great Ship- Poor experience.

Callahan, now I remember your review. It seemed that some things you chose to complain about were outside the control of the ship or the crew. I think that's where most people were finding confusion with your bad review of the ship.

We were there on this cruise too and felt as you do. Everyone commenting on my review said I was being negative but this is the 4th "mostly" negative review of RCL EOS's May 2018 run I've seen. Can we all be wrong?
