We just came off the Holiday cruise sailing. Ports were Labadee, Puerto Plata, San Juan and Coco Cay. We are Diamond members with lots off RCL experience.

This is our first time on this class of ship. Lots to do and some very different venues. Did iFly and Northstar and both were super cool. Ship is beautiful and in great shape but VERY over crowded. Passenger to space ratio is the worst I have seen on RCL. Passenger flow is impeded in the Esplanade by the music hall - very tight choke point to an already narrow space. Lines everywhere and before you say "it's packed for Christmas" - I have sailed Christmas many times and never seen anything like this! It's a design flaw. We will stick to Oasis and Freedom class from now on.

MDR food has REALLY gone downhill. Chops and Giovannis table were great experiences. Our waited in MDR, Nelmark - was amazing. From now on we will purchase the ultimate dining package. Diamond club service as awesome and Thomas from Grenada really made the trip feel special for us! Love the new 4 drink voucher system for Diamond members. Read more
