Solarium was fantastic. 4000 on Athen and being there is like private area you would have to pay extra for. very peaceful and relaxing. best time is late at night.

we have been on twice and on the second cruise the Escape room showed up on our cruise planner (and we pre booked). the cruise planner is a wacky and unpredictable site, that's for sure. The Escape room was interesting. I think it was $10 a person, but I could be wrong

I agree I've been on a few times and haven't even seen anything about an escape room.... I do have Royal IQ too but I didn't think I could do anything with it till I get on the ship with that app

There is an escape room. You can not book it until you arrive on the ship.

Great Cruise for Families

Family oriented

The ship was beautiful. We never felt crowded at all. The private island in Labadee was wonderful. Excellent Caribbean cruise itinerary.
