Review summary

We cannot say enough positive things about our cruise and the ship we sailed on. The ship had endless activities to keep one busy on "at-sea" days, it had nightlife and shows that were of high quality, the casino was of adequate size and had plenty to offer in regards of selection and types of play, and just exploring the ship and what it had to offer was an adventure in itself. We had a modified itinerary due to a passenger having a heart attack but the crew made the best of it and made a plan that made up for our inconvenience. We will definately do it again and definately with Royal Caribbean.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
This town was average, it had plenty of touristy shops to keep a person busy but it was not very clean in my opinion, we did eat at the local HARD ROCK restaurant and it had excellent service and food to offer(much better than the one at home)I think we would have enjoyed this port better if we had done an excursion/activity rather than just walking around so we could have seen more of the real Cozumel.
Thumbs Up

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
This town was just the opposite of Cozumel, very clean and modern-but very busy and crowded. We enjoyed the stingray city tour out in the ocean, it was nice seing the animal in the wild in thier natural environment compared to a crowded water tank at Sea World.

Pros: I enjoyed the excellent service provided by the ships staff.

Cons: There was very little to dislike, but I think a net over the sports court would help.
