Recently, we have been choosing Celebrity for our cruises but thought we would try RCL. While it is a beautiful ship, we probably will not choose to cruise with RCL again.

Dining-- The food served in the main dining room was of poor quality. A lot of tough meat, not a lot of seafood choices and most of the food came from the kitchen with too much salt. Only 3 courses are offered. The menu is uninspired and not real tasty. We were use to the Celebrity cruises where the food is outstanding. The Windjammer cafe served a variety of food but of poor quality. You also serve yourself on the buffet line, leading to multiple people touching the serving utensils. At the end of the cruise, many people shared the same colds. The orange juice in the morning was particularly bad. They charge extra for the good orange juice. The coffee is also bad. You have to pay for ice cream or good coffee.

Service -- Our room steward and the wait staff in the dining rooms worked very hard and were terrific given the limitations they were under. Our table was for four people. Our waiters (2) had to serve a large table (12) plus 4 more tables for 4. This lead to delays in service up to an hour. I really felt bad for them. Read more
