How many nights are required for a "shakedown" cruise can change - it will be a long time until the next one RSSC has to build a new ship first.

Reviews are all subjective. I often see people panic with one negative comment. What is a problem to one is absoutely fine with another. Good food to one person is not acceptable to another. I cannot handle spicy foods and I am allergic to onions. Food others love I cant even eat.

I always thinks of it like diving scores. Throw out the "perfection" review throw out the "worst review" and then take the average of the remaining reviews.

The best thing is when people share information that helps others get the most out of their upcoming trip, rather than subjective opinions.
