Just come off an 11 night west med cruise on Splendour of the seas. We booked RCCL as so many friends recommended them and route really appealed to us.
On arrival ( ordered taxi from San marco airport to dock for 44euro) very easy check in and cabin ready much earlier than anticipated.HOWEVER...... We booked a large family outside stateroom for us two and our kids aged 7&10. The cabin was the same size as my parents cabin for two people, and the major shock was the pulldown bunks ABOvE the double bed! My husband couldn't sit up in the bed with the bunk down and you had to slide in and out the foot of the bed like a worm! We complained bitterly and were told our expectations were too high, it was our travel agents fault ( btw Thomas Cook were absolutely useless in the whole booking but that's another story) , there was no other available cabins and no one else complained.
The only thing we could do, which we took upon ourselves to do was to re jig the room, turned the double bed around and put one bunk mattress on the floor. We had even less space in the already bijoux cabin.
Good location. Fine for two people, way too ridiculous for 4 people. Smelt nearly every day outside the cabin in the hallway. Not much storage, but we were so squashed it didn't help. Beware the layout picture on RC website does not reflect the room.
