Review summary

This was my sister and my 60th birthday cruise and it was my sisters first cruise. RCI has the wow factor and the staff are always great. We did think that this time prices have been increased in the shops and bar, even the excursions seemed a bit over the top in price.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
As Diamond members we joined the fast track line, which was about the same speed as the other ones as lots of Diamond etc on board.

We have seen better... the on-board staff are good but nothing great. Some of the 'Acts' were better than others.

We both used to work in Gib and met there so know it really well, just a shame the visits are not longer.

Went into the old town by the harbour using the ship's transport, which was very expensive (we complained) and enjoyed our wander. Found a market and got some nice stuff.
