So we decided to take a last minute cruise with our family and one of our close friend and his family. We are both frequent cruisers and have over 25 cruises between us (17 and 8) on RCI, CCL, Disney and Norwegian (I have not been on Norwegian). This turned out to be the worst cruise or any vacation we have taken so far and we am actually and avid cruise lover and quite easy to please and keep our expectation low.

So the ship itself is beautiful and the pool area and other grounds are spacious and well kept but that is where it ended for us. And we had 16 previous experience to compare with so although I don't like to but some things were just not right and it forces you to compare. This was our 4th RCL (last one was in 2008, hmm, why was that I wondered).

Check in and getting on the ship was a breeze! Read more
