We have sailed approximately 10-12 times with RCCI. We are diamond members. Some of those cruises have been with our young adult children and some alone. This trip, it was just the two of us. We believe we are seasoned and experienced RCCI travelers. We have also sailed on several other cruise lines.

Our status with RCCI no longer matters to us.
