Sail Date: Apr 2017

We were treated like royalty the whole cruise. Last night the main dinning room served prime rib and lobster tail! Ship is the smallest and oldest in the RCCL fleet and was pressed into service to serve the Tampa to Cuba market. We took the last Caribbean cruise from Miami before the ship was repositioned. Overall the cruise was very relaxing stopping only in Cozumel. The private beach excursion was also a good experience, except for the tide bringing a good deal of visible pollutants with it. The cabin was clean and comfortable. There were four bars and were crowed at times. Nothing new there! However, RCCL still uses the archaic payment system when charging the drinks, so even without the crowd, the transaction still takes too much time to complete. Even with the drink package the bartended has about seven screens to scroll thru and buttons to press so he/she can give you two copies of a receipt showing $0.00 total, one copy to sign and give back(?), the other to keep(?).
