Review summary

Overall this was a very good ship with a very good crew. We were a little disappointed when the 13 of us (that booked with the same agent) got to our first dinner and we're scattered throughout the dining room at four different tables. RCL (head waiter) did their best to fix the problem and ended up seating us at two tables (a table of 8 and a table of 5). We were very disappointed with some if the ships excursions. As an example, in the Grand Cayman Island the 13 of booked a trip to the 7-mile beach which ended up just being a $65 shuttle ride to a beach that would have otherwise been a $4 taxi ride. Finally, on disembarkation day, the ship was unable to dock because of heavy fog. The ship sat in the gulf for an extra 5 hours. Many people were upset because the ship was not prepared to handle this situation. Thousands of people trying to eat. No bars open. Staff trying to clean the rooms to prepare for the next group of people. It was a mess! Although we carried off our bags, we didn't get off the ship until 2:30. We missed our flight and had to reschedule two times (incurred change fees). RCL has dealt with fog in Galveston on past cruises and should have been prepared to handle this matter better. It's ashame that a good 8- day was capped off with a horrible disembarkation.
