Review summary

Although we had a nice time would not recommend this cruise as this is the worst cruise I have been on. My friend was looking forward to visiting Corfu.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
On arrival ship had not docked due to fog. There was no organisation in check in area, no communication , apparently we were meant to get tickets (abc etc) but we were not informed either by notice or tannoy .you cannot change the weather but it appeared no contingency plans were put in place .

What was wrong with your cruise? Did they change the itinerary at the last minute? Was the food not so good? Was it the ship itself? Just curious as we booked a Transatlantic sailing from Barcelona for December 2018 on Rhapsody of the Seas. I know this ship is getting updated again before April 2018 to include more features from RCL’s bigger ships. We’re only going to visit four ports on our 14 night cruise so I’m hoping the smaller ship is what we’re after this time. We did a Transatlantic on Liberty if the Seas previously.
