Sail Date: Feb 2019
Cabin: Ocean View Balcony

Had to queue every night for dinner in Silk even though we had made reservations each day.

Struggled to find a table in Windjammer every day for breakfast and lunch and then were constantly bombarded with announcements asking us to hurry up and leave.

Often could not get sun lounges in Solarium.

Cabin Review

Ocean View Balcony

Cabin 6D

We paid for an unobstructed view balcony room (13292). Now have to try to crop the overhanging upper deck from all of our photos. This room should be in the cheaper partially obstructed view category. RCI ripped us off. We would never have booked this room if we knew of the obstruction.

Port Reviews

Tauranga

Nice place but the ship doesn't dock in Tauranga. It docks in Mount Manganui which is a nice place with lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, surf beach and harbour beach.

Auckland

Just another big city. Would have been happy to skip Auckland for another pacific island.
