Thank you for your video. I'm glad I wasn't the only one with the same opinion, especially with not a lot to do. It was nice to meet you in person on the ship. I also noticed a lot of things I wanted to do coincided with other things we already had scheduled. It was very geared for the kids. I also complained that there was no quiet place to decompress. Even the rooms (noticeably thin walls) were loud at times. Thank you again for your insight!

Can't make everyone happy it's what you make of it.just got off it was AMAZING! No complaints

2:50 - It's not rude to walk up some stairs regardless if someone is trying to get some random photo or not. The stairs are there to enjoy and to use - photos are secondary.

Did you see your compass on your TV? There's soo muuch to do. I wish, I had more time to do other activities. The juggling show was also good and funny! Try it next time! We just got off this Saturday and we have great time. First RC cruise. We have done 5 Disney cruise and I don't think we're going back to Disney anymore😂❤ family of 6. With kids 18 to 11 y.o.

Nah he was too busy wanting a printed compass

Very interesting and informative video. Seems like they rely heavily on biggest ship in the world but not a lot to do and lots of add ons. Have you been on a Disney cruise? Really like the videos you do. Been to vegas twice so enjoy watching videos of you going to there. Greetings from uk.

We haven't tried Disney Cruises yet, but it's on the to-do list.

[@paulanderson1102]

@@NeonTourist Cool. Would love to see more videos exploring Vegas and nearby places eg Henderson, Boulder City etc

You overlook the amazing aqua show comments and so much more to focus on the negatives of each day??? I book private tours so I don’t understand being ‘stuck’ with left over RC tours. There are soooo many activities it is overwhelming…but some choose to drink all day, it’s not the only option… scavenger hunt, trivia, karaoke, crafts, mini put, sports activities, rock climbing, flowrider, pools and PerfectDay has many “free” options. Negative people attract like minded negative people, it’s a scientific anomally 😂

I just hear nothing but complaints. If you can’t afford things don’t bash it. You could go to the pools ice skate trivia spa laser tag slides. Look at your cruise compass. Sounds like you need to sail on princess with all the other old heads

[@NeonTourist]

That's the thing; we did use the cruise compass. It's all on the app. The pools were mostly closed or empty due to weather. They didn't offer ice skating or laser tag that sailing (both take place in Studio B). I couldn't use the slides for the reasons mentioned. This was my 12th cruise with Royal Caribbean. I'm just used to them having more social activities led by the cruise director staff.

@@NeonTourist Okay, but the ship is barely 6 months old. So I'm sure they're still trying to find their footing. Also, the weather is something that RC decidedly can't control.

Is this a negative channel? … maybe you need to try a canoe!!

[@davidtavakoli5858]

It's unfortunate that you're focusing on everything negative. You seem to dwell on that. You mentioned a couple of good things, but it was almost an afterthought. "We saw the Aqua Show, the Aqua Show was great. We saw Wizard of Oz, Wizard of Oz was really nice." That was it. You went right back to talking and expounding on the negative. Every cruise has negative aspects. But you have to concentrate on the good. Maybe cruising isn't for you. I've been on 21 cruises, and trust me, some of them were far from perfect! But I still enjoyed them and I will continue to take cruises. I'm booked on the Icon in October 2024, and I'm really looking forward to it! Don't expect it to be perfect - but who cares? It's a cruise!

[@VirginiaBoudreaux]

I don't think cruising is for you.

Nothing like a whiny complaining man...ugh Stay home!
