Review summary

ship it was fine but lacked of what new cruise have to offer, we took RC because we had loved our previous cruise with them 10 years ago, but times has changed and they forcing you to pay extra for everything $15 a day to connect one device. they force you to go to the pay restaurants by making the food so bad at the dinner room. the only place with worse food was the windjammer buffet where the food was either cold or dried out. they force you to go to their approved gift shops on excursions where prices are at least 3X higher then regular gift shops

They try to persuade you to all of the above but they don’t force you to do anything. Dining room is always decent meal no t great but decent windjammer is always a decenct selection not great but decent. We shop where we want to shop never forced. We’ve found if you look at it as a vacation everything is Awsome if you try to make everything go the way you want it you will not be happy.
