Review summary

RCL really needs to expand the food menus in MDR. Sure there is lots of stuff at the Buffet, however with this last cruise being at capacity, the Buffet was jammed and so many rude folks this time. I will set sail on this ship 2 more times in the next 4 months, hope to have better food experience.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
As usual, they have long lines outside. with poor signage for time slots. If it happens to be raining, well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food has been inconsistent (3 cruises so far on this ship this year) and they reduced the breakfast menu yet again. No eggs benedict anywhere. Evening menu is limited too. Drinks are good, especially in the Bamboo room and Casino bar.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools are nice but need a little work. I have yet to get a spa service. The rest is the usual stuff.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The Ice show is really good. They do need more music in the evening. A modern string trio, some tops hits duo.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Great room attendant, some staff not so fab, but we all have off days.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Needs some work. Noce ship but it is really showing its age.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was a great cabin, highly recommend, no noise from any direction.

Glad you enjoyed it. Cutbacks on food options will likely continue and may even get worse.
