Just got off last Sunday after a fabulous week. Never felt like we were on a ship with 6400 passengers. Always able to find a chair on the pool deck. Things to note. Our waitstaff was incredible. Did 8PM dining and Randy took excellent care of us in the Silk. Ate one dinner at Chops. Main course was amazing. Filet was cooked perfect. Dessert was lackluster both at Chops and the MDR. Few changes each night so by day 7 nothing stood out to me. Ocean view balcony on deck 10 was great. Peaceful at night and offered some great picture opportunities. Stateroom attendant was always helpful when a request was made. Ports of call- Maho beach in st. Maarten was $8 each way for a taxi per person. Got there early and managed to get two chairs and an umbrella for $20. Drinks at the bar were ok. Couple buckets of beer for the group of us was plenty. San Juan was wonderful weather. Worst part was the attacking cab drivers and tour operators as soon as you walked off the pier. We knew beforehand we wanted the tasting tour at Bacardi. RCCL doesn’t offer this one so my recommendation is to walk a block or 2 from the ship and get an uber. We got an XL for 6 people was was $18 each way. Well worth it. Labadee again had excellent weather. Walked to the far beach near the aquapark and just enjoyed sitting on the beach all day. Captain Per made the decision to take the long route back to Canaveral. Rough seas Saturday night but sounds like nothing compared to what they sailed into this week. In my opinion, Cruise Director Dan was lackluster. Never really heard him making announcements for things to do. Seemed like towards the end of the week there were periods of nothing going on. Again, just how it seemed to me. Shows- We passed on doing Cats. Walked out after 20 minutes during the Headliner. I would watch Come fly with me and all the aqua shows again and again if I could. Comedy show was also great.
