I have been prompted to write this review following the recent receipt of my Berlitz guide to Cruising which confirms our experiencewith regard to cuisine and service - out of 11 Cruise lines RCI score lowest with a score of 5.44 out of 10.

This had been the first time we had planned to go away for Christmas and chose to sail on Explorer out of New York to the Caribbean as we had previously sailed on Navigator to the Canaries out of the UK and had a good experience.

We initially booked fly-cruise with RCI but on receipt of the invoice and having done some research subsequently decided to arrange our own flights, saving approx £200 per person. We also arranged to fly out 2 days early and stayed at the Berkley Continental. However, in view of strikes and ash clouds I am not sure that we would do this again.
