I know it was school holidays but this cruise was ridiculous. Families bringing their kids into the adults pool and the staff ignored it. Kids riding elevators from day 2 on. The Ice Show was excellent again and the Production Shows were very good as well. The meals in the main dinning room were very nice and the service was satisfactory. The Flowrider was a great deal of fun but with so many kids the line was at times quite lengthy. There were extra sessions for the kids of different age groups but it would of been nice to have an older session for the parents. The Solarium pool was usually packed (sometimes with families with screaming kids) and for some strange reason heated for a couple of days, making it feel like soup instead of refreshing dip. Many more people disembarked unasisted and there was quite a queue but the line moved quick enough and I walked to the train in time.

I will be cruising with RCI again soon and I do enjoy the Crown and Anchor benefits from 5-8:30PM.

Cabin Review

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D3

Very creaky with loose floorboards under the carpet but clean and tidy. The beds were their standard stiff as a board.
