Traveled with children

After cruising with P&O last year we thought we would try RC. I travelled with my partner and my son. We are in our forties. We were given an ocean view stateroom and although clean it was tiny!

From day one we realised the windjammer (more like the limb jammer) was a nightmare! Food was awful, people don't wait in line, no seats, basically chaos! I got breakfast one morning and walked round for twenty minutes with my son before a place became available! It was cold by the time I sat down! I was ranting as I was walking around but no staff offered to help us find a seat!!

Main dining room the food was better but still not P&O standard and we were forced to pay for speciality restaurants to get decent food! If you want a sun lounger forget it unless you get up at 7 am and put a towel on it! I swear there is not one lounger available some days and they are not occupied by humans just towels or books! 50% are unoccupied but RC do not remove the towels and let people abuse it!!!
