To start off I would like to say that I have cruised twice before this cruise. Both times were with Disney once in the Caribbean and also just like this one in the Mediterranean.The Cruise was great, we had a good time onboard the ship and a lot of fun. The Check-In in Civitavecchia was ok. It was not the newest port, so things were a little worn out, but that is not RCIs fault. Everything worked smooth and we were onboard the ship in about a half hour.The ship itself had many attractions, like an ice skating rink, a rock climbing wall or a small golf course. Though these things look great in the ads, they're not really that good. The golf course is actually a boring mini-golf course with no hills or real obstacles. The ice skating rink is tiny and only about 30 people are allowed at once, so you're bound to wait. As with the rock climbing wall, it was open pretty long, but still you will always have to wait about 15 min before getting a turn.For the activities I was pleasantly surprised. Having sailed with Disney, I didn't think a cruise could put anymore activities in one week, but I was wrong! The cruise was filled with fun times for all ages including a belly flap contest, mens sexiest legs contest, 70s night and on on on... There was an extra area for teens with their own part of the deck and a disco.Entertainment was good, not perfect. Many people enjoyed it very much but my opinion is that it was just good. If you're into music and musicals with JUST singing and no plot whatsoever, then this will be great for you, but I only enjoyed two of the shows. Both were with Michael Menes a juggler and comedy artist.The shows were the following:-Michael Menes (Juggling, Comedy) & Majestic (An acrobatic duo) - 5 stars-Gary Lavini (violin) - 1 star-Ice Dancing Spectacular - 5 stars-Michael Menes and Majestic (different show) - 4 stars-3 black dudes singing Motown music - 2 stars-Now & Forever (Musical w/o plot) - 2 stars
