We sailed on this ship in May and booked a back to back for September because we like the ship size and the staff were so friendly and obliging, the ship was spotless, the food was good, Giovannis was excellent and the ice skating was amazing as always, I feel that the shows did leave room for improvement but some artists were ok.The orchestra was very good but having cruised on Navigator previously we had seen most of the entertainment before but it didn't spoil our cruise. I think RCI have created their own problem by not asking guests to adhere to the dress code, Cruise Compass is a guide to attire for the evening and part of the enjoyment of cruising is making that extra effort occasionally but each to his own I guess. My husband and I have been cruising for 25 years and can't think of a better way to spend our holidays, we have met some very interesting people from all over the world and have remained friends with them, if you are a first time cruiser don't be put off by negative comments, it is the best way to holiday.
