small old - beds are rock hard 
you can hear your neighbors thru the wall - they are talking normal - not being loud or wild - just PAPER THIN WALLS - left tv on to block neighbor noise

Miami

3rd time hear 
seen and done everything 
took taxi to beach 


Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

this is a smelly (walking in to)  little town 
not real set up for tourists 


Cienfuegos

basically 2 monuments then 2 forced shopping trips 
really poor 

There is a REASON there are very few pictures on RC website of this ship- it is because it is old and stinky has few amenities and is basically the WORST ship I have ever been on RC or otherwise (have been on Celebrity RC Gaugan NCL Carnival)

The ship is very smelly with weird hot smelly pockets

The ship is LOUD - I was up until 2 last night with the constant noise

The Gym SPA and pool area are a JOKE 

THE FOOD IS ROUGH - 

They charge now for ROOM SERVICE so heads up on that (10 with the mandatory tip include for a RS order) 

The boat is a non-stop attempt to sell you CRAP (and when I say crap I mean crap) 

The info talk given regarding disembarking in Cuba the ship staff made INAPPROPRIATE comments about the Women working the port in Cuba - it was sexist creepy unnecessary  and rude

Cienfuego is a waste of time of a stop - there is nothing really there - it smells walking into town and you are BOMBARDED with taxis or shore excursions (typical 3rd World) peddlers they are mildly aggressive - 

Everything has been broken - ice machine ice cream machine drink machines - this ship is like the WORST car at the USED CAR LOT 

I would NEVER NEVER NEVER recommend this BOAT to anyone and frankly RC is on my poo list too- 

I will NOT use RC for any cruise ever again - this is ridiculous 

I am still on board - it is so bad I felt compelled to write this NOW
