Review summary

Probably one of our best RCCL experiences. Service was outstanding. As noted, embarkation and debarkation were simply amazing. Don't think that RCCL's customer service is indicative of the ship experience, as noted in my blog review (https://beentherethoughtthat.blogspot.com/2017/07/a-review-rccl-scores-big-on.html), it's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Itinerary was great. Biggest ding comes from RCCL's incessant upselling. Way to much. But that's not the fault of the ship's crew, which was, as noted, outstanding. Want more?

Ship tip

Can't think of anything unique to this ship. Go in with an open mind by not giving too much credence to whiners who post on line. Please see my full review in my blog at: https://beentherethoughtthat.blogspot.com/2017/07/a-review-rccl-scores-big-on.html
