To preface, this was my 4th cruise in the past 6 years - first RC cruise as the rest were all Carnival. From reading reviews and word-of-mouth, I was under the impression that RC surpassed Carnival in entertainment, food and service. Therefore, I suppose my expectations were high, however, I was not impressed with this cruise whatsoever.
Pros:
Embarkation was fast and easy. My husband, daughter (3 years old) and I arrived at around 12:00 p.m. We were on the ship by 12:30 p.m.
