Review summary

The Royal Caribbean employees are all terrific.  The shows are creative well performed and extremely enjoyable.  There are activities going on at all times.

If you are going to take shore excursions I recommend that you take the Royal tours.  We had difficult with the tours especially the one in St. Kits, the guide was poor at best, not staying with the group when we made stops to explain the highlights and gave the tourists a hard time when they requested he stop at beautiful overlooks.  This was Annie's tour.   The Puerto tour  guide was terrific, but could not take us into the El Moro Fort because "it was not on the tour", that is the symbol of Puerto Rico. The snorkel swim trip on St Martins was the best , great crew, great snorkeling with an in water guide, free drinks and a very personable crew.

Having been on many cruises with long buffet waiting lines, it was a pleasure to have a layout with many individual buffet counters with little to no waits.

Cabin person Jeffery was great.

Ship tip

Pizza was terrible. Other food was plentiful and good. Don't miss any shows or other activities. All employees were very positive with friendly personalities and couldn't do enough to help. The big disappointment were the shops. They are rip-offs. They advertised 50% off items but they weren't
