Sail Date: Oct 2010
Cabin: Oceanview Stateroom

This was our 1st cruise with RCI and having watched many TV programs and reading almost every weekend newspaper praising this wonderful ship that sails from Southampton we decided to give it a go!

The ship although very large is fantastic, in 10 days you cannot possibly take advantage of everything on board. There are allot of people on this ship and you cannot always get a seat in the lounge or bar of your choice, this could be helped a little if some, not all, parents would control there children and not let them run around the ship at all times of the day or night.

The food in the main dining room is OK but is dining room food rather than restaurant quality, the food in the Windjammer is very good but you have to be prepared to queue for food and a table. The food in the specialist restaurant Portofino's was excellent, we both ate far to much. We did not use the other specialist restaurant Chops & Grill but were told by some of our fellow cruisers who had dined there that it was excellent.
