Review summary

Do not be afraid to sail during hurricane season.  The water was the calmest we ever sailed on and the weather was warm and skies sunny.  Royal Caribbean's island, Coco Cay was beautiful.  Lots of beach area and chairs to relax.

Service and Staff

Michael Richards is a friendly and courteous dining room server. Melroy Luis is an awesome towel animal creator. His monkey was cute hanging from the ceiling.

The promenade area was beautiful with lots of great photo shots.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Not a lot of extra space but the room had all we needed...a large king size bed, a sofa to relax and watch TV or read, lots of closet space with shelves and hanging area for the abundance of clothing we brought along for every occasion, and a desk area with drawers and LOTS of mirrors. What more could we want?

Ship tip

Be sure to read the Cruise Compass in the evening for the next day and plan what activities you want to attend. We enjoyed lots of new activities that we were not aware of on other cruises because we did not take the time to look at the Cruise Compass. The napkin folding class was lots of fun.

Ha ! Just finished sailing with Hurricane Hermine. While the Captain did his best to navigate around we still had "special" 6hrs with winds @90knts
