The RTC group seems to be afflicted with a small group of rude and

predisposition of telling people what they should or should not do on
their cruise. A sharing of ones experience on a cruise can be
helpful to other in making their own plans. Members are free to

Mr. Rubin to be “knowledgeable” on an entire range of subjects and he

If you want to post reviews where people can't comment on them, go to
Cruise Critic. Next time, please be sure to preface your post here with
a comment about not wanting any replies. I thought your review was very
comprehensive and informative (happy?). I just had some problems with
the some of the facts presented in it, like claiming that the crew
doesn't know who is on automatic tipping (when others have said that
they do), and complaining about excursion prices without bothering to
compare it to what the provider themselves is currently charging.
