Review summary

I have been on 15 plus cruises and had heard Royal Caribbean was a good cruise line.  Maybe others ships in the fleet but not this one.  Out of 17 days I had maybe 6 meals that were good.  I at pizza from room service after trying to eat meals that were for the most part below meadacoker.  We couldn't go to the South Island of New Zeeland due to the weather which I understand but the alternative ports were awful.  I should have gotten off the ship and flown to Sydney.  I wouldn't recommend this ship nor will I sail with Royal Caribbean again

I have been on 30+ cruises and thought that the food in the main dining room and buffet was the best ship food I have ever had, when I went on the Radiance a few months ago for 16 nights.

Did you eat in Cascades cause of the 10 nights we were onboard we had nothing but amazing food!

When you book a cruise longer then 7 nights the average age goes up since younger people are working and hard to get 2 or 3 weeks off at a time.
