Review summary

We were generally not satisfied with this cruise.  We are Emerald members of RC Crown and Anchor and have been on many cruises.  This one lacked the usual expectations. We did not enjoy the buffets in the Windjammer Cafe(same menu everyday).  Food was not hot and just not appetizing.  Main dining room was just OK.  Nothing was really served hot and menu was not the usual Royal Caribbean.Main pool was not senior citizen friendly(ladders getting out of the pool).  We were forced to use Solarium pool (which was too cold) because it had stairs getting in and out.  The shows were just OK.  All in all, this cruise will be one that will be forgotten easily.  Will think twice before going Royal Caribbean again.

Is Josh still the cruise director of the ship, also, the ice show still good?
