Review summary

This was my first RC cruise but won't be my last. Things are different here than other cruise lines including more fees. Gratuity is not only charged per person per day but additionally for items such as "towel check in/towel check out" even though those are not advertised. We enjoyed the cruise overall. We missed the food when we left! That says a lot. There was no birthday greeting at check-in or anything special in the room. That was disappointing. Luggage fiasco at embarkation without a real apology or answer. We also had intermittent plumbing issues! 3.5/5 for these reasons.
