Review summary
My teenagers picked this cruise out of several that we offered to them, based partly on the size of the boat (lots to keep them busy!) and on the stops (especially Jamaica). Royal Caribbean always offers a terrific experience, with good food, lots to do on board, and great entertainment in the evenings. We especially loved our stops in Labadee (the beach loungers!), Jamaica (catamaran snorkeling), and Cozumel (all terrain buggy). All three excursions more than exceeded our already high expectations. Finally, I want to acknowledge the amazing service from the dining room staff on board the ship; they helped us find a perfect nightly dining option that worked for our group of 7, and we're deeply appreciative to Stepanie, Felix, and their teams.

Ship tip
The sangria pitchers at Vintages in Central Park are a great deal if you don't have the premium beverage package but still want to enjoy a few glasses of wine with friends. We stopped in every afternoon before dinner.
