This cruise ship did not live up to our expectations. Alaska was beautiful, excursions were great, but take a different cruise line. Food was worse than school cafeteria in quality and taste. Ship and cabins were clean and nice, beds were hard as bricks.

Review summary

Don't cruise with RC, not worth the money. Ship was not well laid out as "library" was located in centrum which was one of the noisiest and loud areas. Music in this area was excessively loud. Mini golf was in poor shape and sports court was tiny. Too much "family time" in solarium which was supposed to be 18+. Food was probably the worst I've ever had. If it was a local restaurant it would have been out of business.

Disembarkation

Misinformation given on self assist disembarkment. They shoved everyone in the dining room with all of their bags, but didn't see fit to move tables and chairs out of the way. Gangway was not open to self assist at time assigned.
