Reading RC's cruise line policies is very put offing. It is all so negative but I put that thought aside and hoped they were more friendly than the written policies sounded. Upon entering our stateroom the tv was on and showing a video stating that if you were found violating any of their policies they would possibly evict you from the ship. The video emphasized their absolutely no bring alcohol on board and that they reserved the right to inspect your mouthwash and any liquids and all luggage.

The real kicker was that they specifically asked that if you saw any passenger violating any of these policies you were to report them to the ship's crew.

You got the feeling your every move was going to be spied upon. This left an extremely bad impression of RC. We were sorry we had booked this cruise.

Cabin Review

Large Ocean View Stateroom

Cabin F

We were in 3502 on the RC Jewel of Sea. Cabins are small, Bathroom ok, but the Shower would not accommodate a really large person, as it has doors that fold in a half round and you cannot bend over in the shower.Closet space is typical of cruise ships, but it had more hangars than any cabin we have had. The safe operates with any code you input rather than using a credit card.This cabin is at the front of the ship and convenient for the Theatre, but the restaurants are aft so they are not convenient.
