Chose for itinerary and availability of Royal Suite. Have not been on RCI in 7 years, and likely will not return after this.
Although the staff tried as hard as they could (especially Suite/Loyalty Ambassador, but there's been so many cutbacks in quality and perks. Being in suite pretty much did not seem to matter anymore - much like Carnival.
Food quality in MDR went way downhill, both in preparation and selection.
Cabin was smaller than most RS (at about 500sf). Perks and attention expected for being in the Royal Suite did not exist on this ship.
