I`ve cruised quite a bit with RCI and always enjoyed but this trip had a few negatives for me. Ship was good although RCI need to rethink the entertainment on offer each day and night including the headliner acts- seems like its the same old same old all the time. Sick of trivia, napkin folding and bingo being the daily staples. Best show by a long shot was the Ice Show, excellent! and if you`re a loyalty member don`t miss the extra show they put on for you as a welcome back. Again excellent.

My family are I are FlowRider addicts and on this cruise the line up was out of control! So disappointing that they didn`t put on extra times for us all. Or as they do on USA cruises make an extra session for those who can load themselves earlier in the morning. The line up was up to 36 people on a regular basis and even more on some days. In a two hour session you got 3 goes.

I don`t think I will ever cruise in or near to school holidays ever again for this reason alone.

Cabin was good and as expected for a balcony. Great steward Sikou.
