Review summary
It was a shame there was no time to visit Venice, I would like something to be arranged for the afternoon for a couple of hours prior to departing. Flights home were too early for us to go when returning to Venice.
We did not use any of the shore excursions as many of them involved walking, and my husband could not do this. They also seemed very expensive.
In general, I thought the meals were average at best and was disappointed that I couldn't have lobster at the end of the week as there were none left.
On the two occasions that we went to the theatre to watch the RCI shows ( not others visiting to perform), we left as it was so bad.
The staff were very nice and very helpful, and obviously enjoyed their jobs. It was a nice touch that our cabin steward made 'animals' out of towels every evening that he came in to turn down the bed.
Not RCI's fault I think, but I had expected all inclusive, and was upset that the drinks package was minimal compared to my expectations.
