Review summary

The cruise was great. The water was calm going and on return. The staff was friendly and courteous. The ports of call were ok but we had to tender a lot and we rather dock. The food was good but tasted better on other Royal Caribbean ships.

You need excursions if you are bored. Beautiful 7 mile beach in grand Cayman. We're doing Mayan ruins excursions when we go to the other ports so I know we won't be bored.
