My wife and I have one shy of 35 cruises behind us all on RCI. With that being said I did not get off at any port as that is when I go and get in the jacuzzi....lol.

The shows were good but have seen most. The headliner was just on a cruise a month or so ago on another ship, as was the comedian also been on a previous cruise. Those are the 2 shows we hope are different being we cruise so much.

So we went and found something else, not really to our liking, as this was a first not to eat there when we boarded.

The waiter and asst waiter never got working together and then when you order certain food a certain way, or your meat a certain way cooked and that never got right. Every time I ordered anything they messed it up. It wasn't until the 6th night that another table mate spoke up and had been getting my medium well meats while i got his medium rare.
