Review summary

we enjoyed our cruise  with our two teenage grandkids.  it was rather crowded in the room but we adjusted and all had a great time.  The ship and crew was very attentive and made cruise a worth while experience.  Our grandkids will remember this for along time.

The one problem we had was with our shore excursion in St Martin.   The excursion was not part of R/C sponsored one so we were on our own to get to the excursion on our own.  The people at the dock we asked for help directed us to a taxi who took us downtown and let us out with no help on where we were to go.  After asking around, we had to take another taxi back to close to the ship to arrive at the proper place.  The excursion was great and we enjoyed it.   However, we realize that this experience was our fault and will plan on booking through R/C in the future.

the cabin was excellent and the room steward was excellent in taking care of us. However, we had four people in the room and it was sometimes crowded but we adjusted with the next time we would get two rooms.

Ship tip

the food was very good and we enjoyed the windjammer for quick meals. We had My Time dining and discovered it worked out very well.
