Review summary

A nice getaway. Was hoping for fewer kids, since it was post Labor Day and kids back to school. Since RCI seems to be catering almost exclusively to families, this may well be last one on RCI. Diamond status matched by Celebrity. Next one is TA on Celebrity Silhouette in November.

Embarkation
