Review summary

Our first experience with RC and we have now 2 more booked so far for next year , it will now become our numbers one cruise company

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Southampton Port is such a great port and its always speedy to get through check in an onboard

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
the food was the best we had ever tasted on a cruise ship ( MSC and NCl ) the drinks package is costlier but worth every penny , quality drinks and top brands

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

2 out of 5
thought the evening entertainment to be a disappointment . apart from the Theatre the main area for games, Music was the Star Lounger which seemed to be Karaoke Rubbish almost most nights . Would be singers who soon cleared the room . One night the Very Camp Piano player was given the stage in the Star ( he entertains every night in the schooner bar ) he was good but its repetitive sing a long songs really does not need much praising Bling at its very best but thats all

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality
