I chose this cruise because it fit the time frame I needed for departure and return. I was a little disappointed that the ship was much smaller than previous cruises I have taken on RC. I guess I could have done better research and found out the size and age of the ship. It would be nice if there was a system that explained or indicated this during the booking process. If there is a system already in place it needs to be showcased better. I really do like RC and probably won't venture out much if at all to other cruise lines. I purchased the beverage package but didn't find out til after the cruise that it could be used at Starbucks on the ship, this would have been helpful to know, as my wife loves their coffee. Nonetheless, RC is a great company and they run a clean and professional operation. They are an excellent choice for family's and friends to experience new places. TOn our most recent trip we had a party of 15, we will be back soon on a newer ship.
