Review summary

Restaurants had great verity of food. Dinner had good choices of appetizers , entrees and deserts that would change a little bit every day by adding different choices. Dinners choices were lobster, lamb rack, ribs, different chicken, vegetarian options. For appetizers there were shrimp cocktail, escargot, soups, salads, tiny tacos and lots of other ones. Service in the main dining is outstanding. They try to read your mind to serve you even better the next day. Great ship. Has lots of fun streets and areas. We did get lost often trying to figure out what side of the ship we are at but they have maps everywhere. It gets a bit too crowded in some areas after like a show and then it is very hard to get an elevator to a different floor, you could wait for 10-15 minutes sometimes. Our 4 year old loves their adventure club day care, she was asking to go there every evening. They did different things there. They had pirate days and did lots of pirate stuff, had aliens day and some other ones. As for activities, there is mini golf, ice rink, rock climbing, different dancing activities every day. They give you a whole schedule of things that are happening every day on the ship and hours and location and you can choose what you would like. We experienced a fun parade, some salsa dance party in the open air and watched a movie on the big screen outside. They had broadway Mama Mia show, show on ice, acrobatics shows on the water, Comedy shows.

Ship tip

Try to have a table in the main area at the dinning room not on the sides and in the back. Since when they have a performance by waiters you can’t see anything

Beautiful water to swim. We spent a day on the beach. Try to walk further if you need chairs and umbrella, further away they have a deals for $20 you get chairs umbrella and couple of drinks included in the price. People who offer things on the beach charge very expensive for everything, like 10 min foot massage is $30, to do braids one person said would be $3 a piece. You can of course negotiate it down if you have the energy.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

The stop is just a city with shops and restaurants, if you want a beach you need to pay $15-30 for a taxi one way to get there, also for some reason our stop was only till 1 pm. Didn’t have much time to do a lot.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

Beautiful privately owned are by royal Caribbean. Everything is beautiful, clean and has everything for convenience. They serve lunch that is included and have bars that if you prepurchased drink package it works on the beach too.
