Review summary

We went to celebrate our youngest son's high school graduation and he turned 18 a few day before the cruise. We had a wonderful, relaxing time on the cruise. Loved the ports. Second time we've done this cruise. Our 76 year old mother was on her 1st cruise and she had a blast. The food was amazing. The shows were very good. We did things at our leisure and didn't feel rushed around. We definitely would do this cruise again. Really enjoyed Royal Carribean. Don't miss our on the Aquatheater show and the Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. The girl that works there is a sweet heart. Don't forget to washie washie.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room steward was wonderful. We had a pullman bed which he took care of bringing down daily as well as keep the room nice and clean. Our wait staff was super friendly and quickly learned our preferences so they brought our favorites before we even had to ask.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is clean and well laid out. We had been on it previously and would definitely go again.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was a bit snug for 4 people, but with the amount of time you actually spend in your room, it really didn't matter. We had 4 adults. 2 used the bed, 1 on the pull out couch bed and one in the pulldown bed from the ceiling. Our balcony was nice to watch sunsets.

Ship tip

Choose early dining- 515pm. This allowed us to make all our shows and the wait staff was accommodating.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Our son goes to school at UM, so we hung around with him around the port area- we went indoor go kart racing, to dave n busters and to the movies the day before we left.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Maho beach and Mullet beach were beautiful.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

It rained as we got off the ship so we headed to CVS and bought ponchos and walked around and visited the cathedral.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
The water was beautiful. We went to Nellie's beach. Also went on the coaster. Fun day.

We carried our luggage off and got off quickly and in our car in no time.
