We embarked out of New Orleans and did not have any problems. We arrived at 10 AM and was sitting at the Windjammer 45 minutes later. Bags were no problem as we had ours by 4 PM.

The shows were somewhat of a surprise and a disappointment since RCI always did an excellent job. They really need to get away from the 60's song and dance theme which we've seen many many many times and is getting old. However this group also needed a better choreographer and much practice. We were on this ship 10 years ago and the entertainment was better. On the flip side the comedians and juggler were great and as always the Ice Show has become the best entertainment on board.

The Casino Royal should be renamed the "The Bandit of all Bandits" as we have never experienced such tight slots anywhere or anyplace. Even worst is you have to handle quarters since they do not have ticket machines. Pain in the butt handling this change in such tight quarters....LOL All the machines are pretty much outdated and aged. Went to bonus rounds on several occasions and won (0), can you believe that. Shame on you RCI. Do not go on this ship if you enjoy playing the slots! Read more
