I never do reviews but feel people need to be aware of this one. I have been on many cruises and decided to try Royal Caribbean for a change. Massive mistake. It was like a Ferry booze cruise to Calais. Too many people squeezed on. Food was generally cold and tasteless. Families fighting and three families were evicted off of the Ship. Staff trying to force drink on you and calling it “medication”!! made you feel like a geriatric alcoholic. Evening entertainment rubbish and you couldn’t get a seat anywhere. Couldn’t go for a swim as pools were rammed. Shore excursions were laughable. Only good point was the cabin and seeing Southampton at the end. Would never go on Royal Caribbean again - absolutely shocking. Not everybody wants to be force fed cocktails every ten minutes. If this had been my first cruise I would never go on another one

Could have been a lovely tour but had to wait ages for the cable car and people were pushing in and not stopped . Should have been advised how cold it was so you could dress appropriately
