20th October from Malaga
Like a previous reviewer the embarkation hall was a free for all,although we did manage taxi to ship in under 2 hrs.
Of the 3000 passengers on board,2000 + were Spanish most of whom I can only assume had been fasting for at least a week prior to embarkation--- our first and only visit to the Windjammer buffet Cafe was like feeding time at the zoo and the noise was unbelievable they all seemed to be talking at the same time and again seating was a big problem. For the remainder of the cruise we used the Nutcracker dining room for breakfast, lunch and 1845 dinner,altogether a much more civilised and enjoyable experience.
As with previous RCI cruises the wine and drinks remain overpriced and I now notice as well as the 15% "service charge" on each drink ,there is now an additional tax amount,which brings the cost of a G&T to around £5 and a mediocre bottle of wine in the dining room package to £20.
Having said all that,RCI cruising is still very good value for money,the food,
entertainment and service are of a very high standard
