Comments

We rate Royal Caribbean Cruise Line (RCCL) the second best line we have sailed, next to Crystal, and this
cruise the best of five on RCCL. Our accommodations (Deluxe Outside Stateroom, Category D) were excellent.
The cabin steward was also excellent but we miss the days when your steward did everything (cleaning,
serving food, etc.). When the steward only works during the day we feel that the amount of tip recommended
by the cruise line is too high.

Our dining room waiter, a young Dutch girl, was superior. The food was
excellent, with good variety and preparation. This did not apply to the Pizza Bar in the Solarium, however,
where the food was tasteless and the service mediocre. The other snack bars were excellent. The bars were
good but the amount of liquor in the drinks rather stingy.

Evening lounge shows were above average and we
particularly enjoyed a performance by Jim Nabors. We thought the casino was very imaginatively done to
enhance the sensations of space and activity. However, we have played slot machines in casinos all over the
world and these had the lowest payout we ever experienced - we finally just quit. The Cruise Director was
excellent, kept things moving, participated in all activities, and mingled with the passengers. The shore
excursions were as good as possible since Hawaii doesn't have much to offer much in that respect. We would
have enjoyed some tours to the luxury hotels - maybe two or three places in each port with a drink at each.
All in all, we had a very pleasant experience and felt that the value was about right.
