Just got off the ship a few hours ago. Truly a great ship, however I think it needs a bit of help. For meal service you are handled like cattle. First night the dining room kept everyone standing in the passageway for 30 minutes after opening time. The shore excursions are ok but you best be able to fend for yourself as there no to little help or guidance on the dock. In addition almost everything is extra, i.e. they offer a $60.00 card for soft drinks otherwise it is $3.25 for a coke/Pepsi. The wine list while good is very costly. Shops are pricey; the duty free cost for Ralph Loren after shave was more than I can but it in Dallas.

They kept delaying the shows later and later. One must keep in mind I will bet the average age for the passengers was 70. That age they bed down early. On the plus side we spent one day and night with winds of 120 mph plus. Captain, crew and ship did very well. We had to skip a port which was a wise decision.

Also, though no fault of the Captain, but we entered St. Johns with a whale stuck on the bow of the ship. Cabin attendant was excellent. Could not connect with my lap top but the personnel tried to help. RCCL should have a TI type to help. Would I go on RCCL again, probably. IN ST. JOHNS, a little restaurant across from the dock, The Steamer Lobster Company, great price!!!
