Reviews Brilliant service & food
Brilliant service & food
A fantastic short break away, the staff and service was excellent. Food was lovely!! Really surprised me how nice it all was. Only downside was the boat and rooms etc were looking a little bit tired. Needs a revamp. Other than that it was great! My husband is Coeliac and everyone was helpful and he didn’t have any bad experiences!

Other cruise lines providing better service for same price
We have sailed with RC for over 20 years and was very disappointed to find they had really cut back on their services they provide. No only 1 turn down per day had to ask for double towels rather than be provided, no tissues, stateroom not hoovered daily and balcony not cleaned. Even in the coffee shop always a big que. Entertainment very basic. I think they need to up their game as there is a lot of other companies visiting the same cruise destinations, providing a better service for the same price.
