Review summary
We've taken 8 cruises on RCCL over the last 16 years and have watched the quality steadily decline. We have also cruised with Celebrity , NCL, Princess and Carnival, so we do have a basis for comparison.
The service has declined, probably due to noticeable reduction of staff, to just average. Many of the staff appear unhappy or overworked. Food is just average; no entree that we had in the main dining room was exceptional. The Voyager is in need of some repairs as well; nothing major that we noticed, but little things.
Three of the four ports of call were nothing special. I guess an island is an island whether it is in the South Pacific or the Caribbean. The island of Mare had a lovely beach with a coral reef about 100 yards out where the waves broke; beautiful.
We arrived in Sydney 5 days ahead of cruise and it was a wonderful place to explore on our own. It was the highlight of our trip.
