Review summary

Royal Caribbean is getting worse and worse as the years go by. The food and entertainment is nothing like it use to be. The only thing still good is the dining room waiters, assistants and cabin workers. All the ports of call are commercialized to the max. It is not the Alaskan wild and locals it is like a carnival atmosphere.
