The ship is beautiful and very very well maintained. The food and the restaurant staff are all incredible. However, because of the numerous customer service issues we encountered, I would not sail on the Rivera again. I prefer the Marina - the customer service on that ship to be far superior.
I don't know if it is just this particular sailing, but this ship is not for the under 55 crowd.
I knew from the passenger profile, that it wasn't for the young, but was surprised to see how elderly most people were.
No interesting on-board activities or entertainment.
Bring your own snacks for the room if you like nuts, popcorn, pretzels, crackers, etc. Be prepared for a very slow Internet connection, when it's available, which is not all time.
This was the smallest cruise ship that we have traveled on. We thought the ship was subject to motion more than what we have experienced on other cruises. The Captain mentioned a couple times that the forward speed was being controlled in an attempt to lessen the motion. One evening it was particularly noticeable as we passed through a rain shower and we heard from other guests that items actually were falling off shelves. The ship made available a motion-sickness medication from Guest Relations which we did obtain and use.
