Sail Date: Apr 2017
Cabin: Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

We just returned from a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise today. We took our three kids, plus spouses, plus a grandchild and a nanny - 10 people in all, about $16K for five balcony rooms, excursions, drinks, etc.

My wife and I spent the whole ride back ticking off the reasons we would never sail with RCI again:

1) A total money-grab. We were hounded from our initial reservation months ago until the minute we stepped off the ship to SPEND MORE MONEY! Drinks package: $454 per person; Internet service: $16/day for one device; excursions: $50-150/person; specialty restaurants: $75/person for three visits; etc. ad nauseum. I went back and checked - they sent an average of two emails per day for the six months we were reserved and waiting to sail, and we didn't dare Unsubscribe in case they had something important to tell us about our cruise;

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D1

Nice. Plenty of room, very comfortable. Cabin steward obnoxiously obsequious, gunning for the big tip from the beginning, but tough, we think the mandatory $13.50/person/room is sufficient.
