It is true that some areas of the ship are tired and that the Schooners bar is a little too small but other than that it is an excellent ship. The staff are truly wonderful. The entertainment staff are so talented and the whole experience for us was very enjoyable. We were slightly disappointed in the service in the Chops Grille as it did not live up to the standard of the non pay dining areas. The food was excellent but felt that the waiter did not care about us as he was slow and did not even ask if we had enjoyed our meal (which we did). It did not spoil it for us though. We really loved being part of this cruise. We met wonderful people and enjoyed hearing about their lives. The shows were very good and the compère of the game shows was great. We look forward to our next RCI cruise.
