We decided to return to RCI after cruising on Holland and Celebrity. We enjoyed our cruise. The staff were courteous, efficient, and responsive.

Our stateroom, with veranda, was sufficient but showed signs of age and use. The bed was not comfortable. The sheets and lighting were fine, but our bed needed a new mattress and definitely new pillows. The veranda furniture was adequate and relatively new. There was adequate dresser and closet space, although the dresser drawer handles showed definite signs of wear. The carpet was in very good condition. The room was serviced 2x per day with fresh towels provided. (Norma, our stateroom service person, did a great job.)

The bathroom was small but adequate. The ship provided generic shampoo via a wall-mounted unit but no conditioner. The hair dryer worked well. Others have taken issue with the cylindrical shower stall and very small clothes line within it. We agree with that assessment, although there isn't any solution, other than to hang wet clothes on hangers and place them on the back of the chairs on the veranda (which we did each evening). While unsightly, that worked well as a short-term solution. Read more
