Review summary
i was on same boat 2 times before, i love this ship and crew, but i was never know fact this is crossing will be involved with pirates area in yemen, fact we have security on board with army ''TOYS'' made me nerveous from time it is was annonce and last 6 days of cruise from 16 days i was not feel comfortable, from over 30 cruises i take it is was first time in my life situation ..alsoi i was very unhappy with noise in my room 10230 in previous cruise on may 2nd and after this similar line 12230 with pneumatic sounds noise on middle of night, made me feel tired and dont sleep well for week, it is finally was resolved on this cruise, but i already was feel exosted from non sleeping for 1 week, i got same size room just diffrent side of ship 8630 and it is was not noise,, also royal caribbean was ssold for this cruise internet service, which was not working for many days at all, and few days in and out all time, mot only slow.. only highlights of this cruise was great captain Sresco Ban and cruise director Ken Rush who made as feel optimistic..i also meet couple from russia room 13210 who come from moscow and dont read and dont speak any language exsept russian, unfortenatly on this cruise was not one person from personal was able to translate for this guest programm, so i did assist this couple during this cruise, i think if company selling cruise russian speaking clients, should have programm and menue in restaurant at least omn russian language ,in case dont have russian ambassador...if i have knowledge about this destination and pirates area i will not booking this cruise, we all passenger on board was nerveous for 6 days after we learn about this situation
