The overall cruise rating is about 4.3 out of 5.0.  The shower was too small for comfort.  The bed was king sized as per my request but the room should not have a bed larger than a queen size.  The food was excellent except for the baked goods.  The bread and container was always cold and hard in the Edelweiss Dining Room and the Windjammer Cafe.  The Pecan Pie and the Cream Cheese Pie were the worst I have ever (partially) eaten.  The pies were without taste and dried out.  I suggest you find a new Head Bakery Chef from Galveston, Houston or New Orleans.  The hot dogs with Chili Con Carne was excellent on deck 9.  The Entres, Salads and Soups were excellent.  The dance floor at the Viking Crown Lounge on deck 11 was sticky and inappropiate to dance on.  Of the seven shows in the Broadway Melodies Theater, three were very good and worth the time.  They were (1) the "Swinging Singin Years" with very good performances by your dancing and singing people, (2) the "Amazing Luis Dalton" accrobatic head and handstands during trying conditions and the "Singers & Dancers" and (3) the guitar music with comedy by "Gary Mull Deer".  The band was wonderful at every performance.  The one time your M.C. dressed in drag was ugly and nasty.  The musicians in the Centrum were all excellent for listening and for dancing.  The floors in the Centrum and in the Shall We Dance Lounge were much better than the Deck 11 floor.

Key West is a cute little town that is very clean and neat.  It needs to improve some for the tourists.
Belize is poverty in abundance.  Their local newspaper reported several attacks by bandits against tourists and also included chopping in the face with machetes of Belize Citizens.(page 34 The Belize Times, Sunday October 27, 2002.)  Cozumel Mexico was the best of the three Ports to visit.  Compared to Belize it had better transportation, better shops, better streets, more and better Police.

Cruise reviews can be extremely helpful to new and experienced cruisers by giving the cruise vacation consumer's view of various RCCL ships and ports. If you've sailed aboard an RCCL ship, we hope you'll write and tell us about it by using our special form here.  Sincere thanks to those who take the time to do this so that others can have the benefit of shared information and experiences.
