This was our second cruise with RC, the 1st being on Navigator of the Seas out of Galveston, so I can only compare between the two. OMG what a difference, Day 1 at sea (yes it was chilly and windy and not the Caribbean) but it looked like someone had died, the only happy person was an American in the smoking area. Pool activities (bellyflop, volleyball) were only on Day 8, there was a poolside band playing some afternoons and the big screen is always a hit. Other activities around the ship included quizzes, lots of quizzes all day, apparently us British like quizzes.

The MDH and staff were great although no Lobster night, (apparently us British prefer King Prawn).

Windjammer was the usual chaotic hunt for a table.

Clean and tidy. must remember to close curtains when getting changed ( window overlooks promenade)

Madeira (Funchal)

In port on a Sunday, mostly closed, not worth wasting time getting there
