Review summary

Last time I went with RC, in 1983 it was elegant, absolutely the best, now it’s lost a lot of its splendor and now seems like it’s lost a lot! More of just another party

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Long lines, disorganized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Clean and well done. Main Gallery area was magnificent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Dinner times overlapped evening performances so we missed many. Other ships don’t schedule so many events overlapping things, especially dinner.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Ok, they were talented but the shows were not that exciting

Children's Programs

No children with us

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
It was good service but you can sense stress. They were not as happy and excited as other ships we had been on, but they all begged for the highest scores possible (tackey), I felt bad for them.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Really clever Main Street looking area an A+++. I liked the layout. The touches of different art in the star ways was really nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Great room, I like the set up of the room, it seemed like the bed being put the way it was made the whole cabin look and feel bigger. Bed was too hard, I liked the shower design

Ship tip

This seemed seemed more like the famous “ party cruise line” like *C, then what I expected from

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
No excursion, didn’t see much of the Island when we first arrived but it’s a nice beach down

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
A place built for cruises and a cultural of buy buy buy. Lots of poverty and arm guards all around. Unique beech resale

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Nice Island, parts of it are really pretty. We did a highlights, mangroves and beach and didn’t know what to expect. Stopped for a nice view and pictures, tables were set up in the middle nowhere to pressure. The boat ride was real nice… NO SALE! And finally another beach break with high prices and several tables set up to pressure sell

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
Went on a trolley tour through a third world poverty stricken country. I wish they would calm down a bit and not be so pushy

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Nice Island, better kept and more modern buildings

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
No problem.. smooth all the way thought

Nothing is classy, elegant or tasteful now days. Just like Vegas. It used to be classy now it’s just 🤮. Times change. Unfortunately, culture and society has definitely changed for the worst.

I’m not sure now to respond. It seems you didn’t like anything.

1983….2022. Sorry to say, but the mainstream cruise industry is just that, mainstream with a lot of issues stemming from Covid, war, and general world economic issues.

That should have said ‘elegant’, no idea where I got ‘regal’ from 😀

You’re really comparing it to what it was like in 1983? You say you’ve been on other cruises so you must know times have changed and ‘regal’ isn’t what most of the mainstream cruise lines are aiming for.
