Review summary

Mom has liked Royal Caribbean in the past - it's a older crowd (she is 82) and she feels more comfortable.  We had problems after problems.  The guy at the desk told me 2 things about WIFI that was WRONG and they keep telling me to call Verizon.  It's their fault.
Horrible customer service - paid for WIFI and it does NOT include calls or text - just data. So many things went wrong. From having my 82 year old mom stand in the sun for 3 hours waiting to board, to a room that is in badly need of some repairs.  Our room had a wind tunnel noise and it took maintenance 2 days to get this fixed and kept us up for hours.  I bought souvenir T Shirts ( NOT from this itinerary mind you!_)  and they all shrunk !  So many things went wrong. The mattress was hard. There was a black ring around the toilet, no tissue in bathroom. Food choices were bland.  Try another cruise line.

So sorry that so many things went wrong.  I do think that it is a shame when passengers have to wait out in the sun when the temperatures could be in the 80-90s.  It happened to me once.  I hope that the next cruise that you & your mom go on has less problems.

I find the comment that your mother believes RCI trends toward older guests interesting. I've never been on any RCCI affiliates however have a lot of friends who have. For the most part, they all agree that this description from Berlitz of RCI fits the cruise experience of this line appropriately:   "Royal Caribbean International is really good for the Caribbean especially for first time cruisers and families. The ships are liked by active young-minded cruisers and solo cruisers of all ages, and families with toddlers, children, and teenagers who enjoy mingling in a large ship setting with plenty of life and bright lighting everywhere. The food is more about quantity than quality."   Doesn't sound like a haven for those in their advanced years to me.

Curious season cruisers that might read this review by the way your mother should never be in that situation period tighten that up a little. In this situation should she have to pay gratuities at full cost or at least at a reduced compensated rate looking at the photos they may have a gripe or two.
