This was our 5th cruise (4th with RCL) and the worst one so far. Will never take another RCL cruise!

The embarkation and disembarkation was easy and fast. Our excursions at all ports were great!

The problem was that out of 3600 guests, over 1200 were kids from NY and NJ that ranged in age 17 and under. Being from Missouri, did not know that spring break for schools in NJ and NY and that lots of parents took their kids on cruises. We thought that if we waited until college spring breaks were over that we would be safe! Nope.

Cabin Review

Our stateroom was close to the back of the ship and had a smaller balcony than others. Room was not very clean and shown worn and dated. Our attendant was great and took very good care of us. But, the room was lackluster. The mattress was very worn, and when we asked for a different mattress, we were given an additional mattress pad! Pillows were very lumpy and uncomfortable.
