Review summary

Overall the trip was a nice getaway. We even had a bonus when we left port and witnessed a rocket taking off from the space center. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone was taken care of. The food was a little less than what I expected based on previous trips on RCI. Enjoyable trip!

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

I was disappointed with the food in the dining room, not much variety and the flavors weren't as they used to be. The Windjammer was good but there could have been more choices.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I saw a lot of people doing the flow rider and using the pools and whirlpools.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The entertainment was good considering they had to make adjustments because of covid.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone we encountered were friendly and went out of their way to be of service to us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was easy to get around and it was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our balcony room was a good size. It was comfortable and our steward kept our room clean and sanitized.

Ship tip

Be flexible, anything can happen during these trying times. Just roll with it and make your own fun.
