Review summary

That was the worst cruise that we have been on since the early 90's and we've been on quite a few. NO comparison to RC, Princess, HA, Celeb, and many more.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Went smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Just about the Same every day. Nothing Gourmet or outstanding. Terrible service and attitudes. Food bland with glaze on everything that had to be scraped off to make it edible. Foods that we're tasteless.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Same ol' games. Had to get up at dawn to get a lounge around the pools. However only towels were on the chairs most of the day instead of bodies.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

Stewart never introduced himself. Couldn't get a hold of him when something was needed. Had to write notes and leave them in the room. Customer relations desk was not helpful in anyway. Problems were NEVER Resolved.

Ship Quality

Beautiful ship. Room clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Noise almost All night. Room service prep room backed up to the bed. Clanging and metal on metal cables and scraping . We got about 4 hrs sleep each night. Talked to customer relations desk but they supposedly couldn't change our room nor could they fix the problem. The last night we slept 0 zero hours. Between luggage and the room service lift going ALL NIGHT. Couldn't Wait to disembark between 7 and 8 the next morning. Horrible cruise experience!!!

Who is Stewart?

I went back at looked at this guys reviews. Didn't like Celebrity or NCl or MSC, however...RCL was FANTASTIC. Why keep switching lines if you really like RCL best?

Earplugs! And if the STEWARD never introduced himself how did you know his name was Stewart? 🤣

She can't reply to let us know what room she was in? Makes me think this review is a pile of crap from some one who is always bitter?

Did you pick your room or even bother to check where it was located

What room

In a previous review you hated celebrity but here you say there is no comparison. I think you need to make your mind up and I certainly will take your reviews with a pinch of salt.

You probably should've stayed home!
