We had a good time for the most part but thought the cruise line Royal Caribbean really nickel and dimes you to death. They even charged for water and popcorn?? We couldn't even take an excursion that wasn't controlled by them. Per the locals all prices for excursions are set by the cruise line. On other cruises we have had several choices portside other than just the ones on ship. Not so here. Pretty much take it or leave it. We took another couple, first time cruisers, with us. Took us several years to get them to take a cruise and was very disappointed it didn't live up to others we had bragged about. will not take another Royal Caribbean cruise for these reasons.

Ship tip
I thought they nickeled and dimed us everywhere. From controlling dock shore excursions and purchases to charging for water and popcorn on board
not enough time to do any shore excursions here before or after but terminal was very efficient once we got there. Only one road going in which contributed to 45 minute wait
