Review summary

We enjoyed our get away and had a relaxing vacation.  There was plenty to do to keep entertained, rooms were neat & clean, and the eating facilities had a variety of tasty options, although the portion sizes were a smaller this year.  The ship was always kept clean and orderly, inside & out.  Enjoyed the bands and especially the poolside fun everyday.  Some of the bars did not have a full stock of liquor (scotch, amaretto, spiced rums) so we had to search out the ones that did.  The RC staff could have been a whole lot friendlier.  Honestly, after 3 cruises on RC, the staff on this trip were on the cusp of being rude.  Don't waste your $$ on dinner at Chops, we've had better steaks at Denny's.  When we complained, they offered a 10% discount...big deal, keep it.  We were cursed at and insulted in Cozumel for not entering some of the stores along the main street in the shopping district. One vendor tried selling us plastic blue "diamond" earrings at the big discount of $900.  Overall, RC gave us a nice vacation.  We refused to let those that had attitudes ruin our vacation and proceeded to have a great time.

Don't hesitate to ask for an extra entree or dessert if the portions served are small.  Making friends with the servers helps.
