Close to home cruise after numerous years of European cruises! Nice change, easy checkin and departure (we self assisted !)
Mostly ate in MDR and food overall, except for the beef, was good. I have a low sodium diet and head waiter did excellent job with this. We choose foods we have enjoyed in past, like the lamb shanks and duck and this works well. Enjoyed the string trio, the Schooner Bar, the Cinema, and the holiday craft demonstrations, the Park Cafe and Solarium. as well as the general ambiance of the ship. It was nice to have the tree lighting during our cruise--brought a nice touch.
Attended the "Top tier event" which was very pleasant and not too much "selling".
Our cabin was in a great location--more midship than aft, near elevator and Centrum overlook. Cabin attendant Natalyia very helpful and only once was cabin not made up on our time frame. She supplied us with robes and helped out when he needed a bottle opened for which we had no opener. We would definitely like a cabin in this area again. We had chosen a balcony guarantee and very pleased with RCI choice for us!
