Review summary

Everything about the ship, crew, activities, and experience is 5 stars. Unfortunately I have to give the dining room food and buffet 4.5 stars. Food was good but they just missed the mark for excellent. Carnival has them beat on food choices and flavor. Plus Carnival has Guy Fieri’s Burgers and Blue Iguana Cantina which are included with price. RC has a hotdog place so no comparison. But they did handle food allergies extremely well and even made GF desserts. Everything else about the cruise is 5 stars!
