We chose the Baltic and Nordic cruises because they offered the itineraries we wanted and were back-to-back. The RC shore excursions were excellent as were the non-RC excursions that we mixed in because of content or price. The excursion leaders were well informed, personable and accommodating. Needless to say the food was wonderful. The on-board activities were suitable for us as seniors and the indoor pool was great for families with kids with several hot tubs for soakers. We enjoyed the entertainment. All aspects of the cruises met or exceeded our expectations except for staying connected with home via internet and US news reporting. The WiFi was expensive and unreliable which seemed strange since everyone uses it to stay connected with family and friends. There was only one US news channel offered, CNN, which omitted sports news and focused on negative political reporting which was not beneficial for international cruisers and a huge disservice to our country. We've cruised on five other lines based on desired itineraries, and would definitely cruise with RC again.
