Review summary
We were forced by RC to chose this cruise as they cancelled our original cruise to the South Pacific and would not refund our money. We had already made all of our trip arrangements when they cancelled the cruise and so we had limited options of RC cruises that fit our schedule. The service, food, activities and entertainment were subpar. The adult section is so small that the pool is basically a giant tub and the restaurant space is limited. There were 1,700 children under the age of 18 on this cruise which made it a zoo. The activities for adults were lame, i.e. how to fold a napkin or make a towel animal. The weather prevented us from going to 2 of the 3 ports and so we were basically stuck on the cruise from hell. RC didn't make any special accommodations for passengers to make up for missing the 2 ports. The excursion prices were ridiculous. We were sick of cold food, poor service (dining) and lack of entertainment/activities and couldn't wait to disembark. Another passenger who had cruised for years told me this is typical for RC in Australia to have subpar food, activities, service, etc. DON"T GO!Embarkation
