RC has become the company of nickel and diming. Now it's a competition on who can get the reservation first. What ship has the most gimmicks. Cruised with them for 14 cruises all together over the last 20 years. Sad to say the cruising I was used to is now gone replaced with hurry up and wait. 2 days (1 day in Coco Cay their island) in the Bahamas on a 8 day cruise. Wait times are unreal. No seats to see the shows relative to the people on board. 2-3 hour wait for bumper cars why not just forego the bumper cars and use the space for an additional pool since there are only 3 pools one strictly for adults. That's over 1000 kids sharing 2 pools. Smoking section next to the pool right where children are present. No slide for the kids but no jumping in the pool. They expect kids 3-7 years old to just relax and sit there. Limited entertainment on the pool deck. Drink package have to use a provided mug so you have to carry it around everywhere. One drink at a time unless you want to buy a cooler of drinks even if you have the package. They isolate the kids by age for kids camp so the kids that play during the day CANNOT play in the same room at night even in the group of people cruising together unless siblings. Extra charge on top of the specialty restaurant charge for even better steak at Chops. Just wait until you try the Main Dining Room menu.

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

They try to push the Orlando Theme parks. 1 hr ride to and from park. Only a few hours to try to enjoy the park. We stayed on the ship however were forced to get off boat for Immigration check. 2 hour to recycle back on the boat waiting at the terminal.
