I have been on 15 previous cruises, but this is my first time on an RCL ship. I chose it mostly because the port is nearby (Boston). I enjoy cruises these days because it's a real vacation; I don't have to figure out WHAT I'm going to make for lunch and what for dinner. I'm so sick of that! Also, to be entertained by music or karaoke or whatever is such a pleasure. Real people, not the usual night of TV.

Entertainment: Jersey Boys production, ice skating shows, singing & dancing productions, a comedian. All fun. The Voyager orchestra was top notch. For me, they were the best part of the cruise.

Dining: Food in the Tradewinds buffet was varied, international & generally quite good. Like it was made by a good home cook. Food in the main dining room (beautiful decor!) was sometimes not what I expected. For instance, offered on a lunch menu was what I expected to be a lamb gyro (pita bread, shaved lamb with a white tzatziki sauce). Instead it was lamb stewed with tomatoes, served on a thick pita bread. One thing I recommend is Bananas Foster, which sent me into another dimension, the sauce was so good! Read more
