Review summary

We were disappointed in the condition of the ship. DEFINITELY needs refurbishing. Many pieces of furniture look pretty sad with frayed and very warn cushions. Rust noticeable in may areas of the ship. Food was ok but found it ridiculous to have to pay extra for many things on the menu above what was already charged..

Description of tour lacked information as to how far one needed to go down steep steps to see water falls or get the "free" drink. Several of us were using canes or walkers and didn't try to make the trek down.

I went on this ship seven months ago and I found the ship to be in wonderful condition! The entertainment and the crew were exceptional and I have another cruise booked with RCL in February. I couldn't possible imagine this cruise ship having so many cosmetic issues after the renovation approximately a year ago?! ....you seem like a complainer!

I wonder how our house would look after having thousands of people going through it in a few years....
