We are Elite level with Princess and Diamond Plus with RCCL. This gives us a good perspective about what to expect.
We recently became grandparents and took our daughter, husband and 9 month old granddaughter. We thought it would be a good opportunity for them to have some quality time and for us to have time with the new addition to the family. It worked perfectly.
Our daughter a regular cruiser when growing up, was shocked at the drop in standards and all the 'add ons'. Interesting that we as regular cruisers get used to the lowering standards.
