We have over the last ten years been cruising with our family with Royal Caribbean and are at this point Diamond members. However this cruise was disappointing to say the least. It seems RCI are no longer really interested in their customers at all and service is being cut back drastically!

The entertainment on this cruise was appalling. The sail away was no more appropriate with Rule Britannia being belted out over the speakers, followed by some kind of tranquil music you would normally hear in a spa and moving on to ABBA slowly lowered down to nothing... no live band, no entertainment team dancing and involving the guests and that was the start to a very bad entertainment package for the rest of the holiday! The shows were aimed not to entertain everyone but an older crowd of people which is fine if they tell you that before you book with young adults. The night club has been taken out altogether and replaced with a restaurant that you can pay for your dinner in. I feel I have paid for my food already and should not be constantly have to have the option of paid restaurants pushed at me.

So as the nightclub is gone there was no real place for the younger adults and including ourselves to really go. The place that was allocated was Dizzy's which is a lounge then the DJ Bombay showed up and had no interest what so ever in what he was there for. There was an on going battle to have music played from the last two decades so not representing a night club! The shows were low quality and as we were on the second seating for dinner we had to either go before dinner or not at all as they were I think expecting everyone to watch the show and head off to bed. I book the later sitting for dinner for a reason not so we could be back in our room at 5.30 to shower and get ready if we wanted to watch a bad show. Read more
