Review summary

Overall it was fun. It wasn’t as great of a ship experience as our past RC cruises. There just didn’t seem to be a really fun vibe on the ship and I couldn’t even tell you the cruise director’s name, which is odd because I feel like it was almost impossible not to know in the past.

Embarkation

Not great but not terrible. I’ve had better food on past RC cruises. Pizza is good so thankfully that helped the experience

Friendly overall but not as outgoing as past RC experiences. Dining room seemed to mess up a couple orders but corrected it quickly

It was what I expected. Not much closet or drawer space.

If you have a four year old prepare for them not to be able to do many activities
