Review summary

All in all it was a great cruise. We will definitely cruise with RCCL again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was fast and easy. We used the RCCL transfer from the airport to the port. Next time we will probably just use Uber.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We are all but one dinner in the main dining rooms. Our preference was the American Icon as it was a bit quieter, but the service was great in all of them. We chose anytime dining and would definitely do that again. One night we ate at Chops Grille. It was delicious. We did eat a couple meals in the Windjammer and but also had some breakfast and lunches in the Solarium and the American Icon. Service and food were always great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the Solarium pools and the beach pool. We were always able to find chairs.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All of the shows we saw were great with the exception of the comedy show. We were a little disappointed in that one. We loved the water show!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All of the staff were great! A special shout out to our room steward, Pressley (cabin12708).

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It took us about a day to get used to the ships layout but after that we had no problem. The signage made everything clear. Everything was very well kept.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This is the first time we had a balcony (Oceanview #12708) and it was perfect. Plenty of room for the 2 of us. Always kept clean, surprised by the cute towel animals.

Ship tip

Make your evening show reservations before you get on the ship. There are a lot people on board and it rarely feels like it but the different show venues only seat a limited number of people per show. Plan ahead. It is worth it.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We took a bus tour around both sides of the island. The tour included a stop at the Rojo airport.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
We really wanted a relaxing beach day. We rented a 2 lounge chair cabana right on the beach. It was great. RCCL provided a nice BBQ lunch and there is an artisan village for some local shopping.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Other than not wanting to get off it was fine. Very simple.
