Review summary

I guess we were expecting just too much after so long. This is one of the older ships and with the new much bigger ships coming out, they scarfed all the better crew off for them.

Food and Dining

Been 14 years since our last cruise on RC, was disappointed by things with them.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Well, rock climbing was out of the question, peoples kids crapping in the pool causing it to be shut down was a bummer, rude and very arrogant people was definitely a turn off. Service personnel was mixed some pleasant some couldn't have cared less.

After having a Junior suite I guess it's called, I will never take anything smaller again. Loved it.

Ship tip

Until they get their act together in the main dining room, don't be too optomistic.

Agrstamps we’re cruising her 1/24. 1st time in her - usually Navigator and Liberty. Do they sell those 19 drinks for $80 on the day 3 or 4? Any special on her?
