As far as I know, you can travel without a visa with your RC and shouldn't have any problems

The holder of a valid EEA Family member Residence Card (those which say "family member of a union citizen") is entitled to use this document in lieu of an entry visa for entry to all EEA member states if traveling with their EEA Family member Sponsor and they are travelling together with you or travelling to join you in another EU country.

Hi everyone!
I have a similar question if someone can help maybe. In the same situation mentioned above what if someone has the EEA family permit, not a residence card, can they still travel without a Schengen visa?

No, they will need a residence card at least. In my experience they should also have marriage certificate (officially translated if not in English) and a printout from the relevant embassy website confirming the right of entry without a visa, because in some airports immigration officers may not be fully aware of this rule.
