Review summary
This was our first cruise. We booked through . Odd but neither or RC did a good job, giving info for 1st time cruisers, it was basically up to you to ask the right questions. Some tips for 1st timers: 1) daramine is helpful, 2) bring cold medicine 3) order luggage tags online 4) our young kids only needed official copy of birth certificates, no passports, but was not clear anywhere 5) for most part all 3 excursions booked through RC went well, expensive but no hassles. St Marteen pick up was not organized well and the pick up staff seemed stressed which made us feel stress. 6) don’t miss boarding times, the ship will leave you 7) don’t try to do everything or you won’t relax. 8) kids club space is small! But kids seemed to have funEmbarkation

Ship tip
Free WiFi is misleading. You basically get the Royal Caribbean WiFi so the onboard ship app works, but that’s basically it. The info and ads leading up to the trip makes it look like you’ll get free WiFi so I thought that meant I will have access to the internet and emails. That’s where all the promos for buying the VOOM internet and streaming comes in. It’s very expensive and PER device. In today’s world where almost every adult and kid has a device, the chargers seems like extortion. We actually could text for free with anyone with iPhones, but photos did NOT go through. The people at Guest Sevices were not helpful, very short and curt answers. Though in some ways it was good not being connected so you focused more time off your phone or ipad, so I think charging a little is okay, but not at those prices. Research this well.
