Review summary

This being my first cruise I am officially hooked!! Royal Caribbean is definitely doing a good job of delivering an unforgettable experience and the staff on the cruise are amazing. Highly recommend and when enjoyed in a group (we were 17 in total), it's even more fun!

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Port of call is a bit hectic when arriving at same time as others, but once you get through the traffic jam and customs, it's all smooth sailing (pun intended) :)

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

Very well organized the departure of the cruise for the island. Excursions were a lot of fun and well planned. Glass bottom boat was cool and we had a blast at the beach. Very family friendly.

Nassau, Bahamas

Quick exit off the cruise was great. Excursion (scuba diving) was amazing and the options for other things to do were many. Lots of transportation options available and shops with many cool items. Wish there was more time in this island.

We were hooked on our first cruise as well. We were on Adventure, too. We will be going on her again next summer! We went on Liberty of the Seas last April. Same experience as Adventure. We will be going on Anthem in one week. Welcome to the club!
