Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our main dinner room waiters were extremely attentive as well as our specialty restaurants.. our cabin steward was fantastic and always around.. overall the ship staff was one of our best on all our RCL curises.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
For an older ship the very clean and public areas exceptionally clean…

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The bed was the one of the best we’ve had on our many cruises with RCL. The bath towels must have been new- great!! Carpet great- a little wear on drawers fronts and sofa a little tried- bathroom clean.. overall it was great because of the bed, bedding and towels..

Ship tip

If you have sailed on larger RCL ships , remember this is a lot smaller class of ships. But this is a more intimate type if cruising with less of the on board trills for a younger sailer.Book this cruise if your more interested in the itinerary and customs of cruising..

Ports of call

Boston, Massachusetts

5 out of 5

Smaller cruise terminal, but pretty fast- need more elevators for those that take their own luggage off the ship..
