Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Beautiful ship and very large, but never seemed crowded and easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It was the smallest balcony stateroom of the 5 balcony cruises we've had. Very clean, bed comfortable and everything worked.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5

We did an excursion thru RC to Great Bay Beach and my only negative, and this was minor, the water was not as clear as I remembered from our visit in 2013. Still, it was nice!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Did a walking tour thru the RC excursions. Excellent tour and was blown away by Old San Juan! Highly recommend.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5

I know this might surprise a lot of people based on the reviews I read prior to going to Labadee, but I was disappointed. We rented the "beach lounger for two" which was very nice. My disappointment came from the conditions on the beach, plastic and trash floating in the water, plasic pieces of all sorts in the sand on the beach. Just not what we expected. I understand that RC can't control what is in the water, but I gurantee they could hire some locals reasonably to keep the beaches clean. Contact Excellence Resorts if they want any tips on how to keep a resort in pristine condition!
