This was our first cruise and it was wonderful! Our room attendant was great. She cleaned our room in the mornings and after we would come in for a nap or to change in the afternoon, we would come back to a clean room again! Food was excellent. Even in the Windjammer buffet. Our waiters, by the 2nd day, knew the drinks, bread we preferred and even went out of the way to get us a side that wasn't on the menu. Getting off at the ports and getting on..while there were lines, they moved pretty fast so was not a long wait. I did a lot of research before we went on best cruise line and I am glad to see the reviews I read paid off. Our next cruise will be with Royal Carribean.
Cruise tips
CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER
We didn't get really close
Did whale watching. Great Port
Booked tour through ship with gardens. Those were nice but tour too a lot of time as you had to wait forever for your tour to be called
Our favorite. We did the Yukon discovery tour w/Southeastern tours Fantastic! The shops are incredible.. Interesting items. We purchased the most from A Fine Line.. Great jewelery from locals
Yes. Was nice.. Interesting people. Pike Market was great
Ovation of the Seas
There's a lot to discover on this ship
Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)
Parasailing was great! Lunch and island is fantastic
We did the VIP Bamboo beach excursion. It was nice, but honestly not worth $160.00 for couple. You are actually only there about 3 hours. The food is good, waitstaff good, drinks a bit strong..but I think for that price we could have gone to another bigger, prettier side of Jamaica- bought food and drinks for way cheaper. Also, the bus was late taking us so that took off 30 minutes.
Independence of the Seas
If you don't like crowds, get to the ship early. Get up early for breakfast..go to lunch around noon. Also, participate in the games..even if to watch..so much fun
