Review summary

For our first cruise and our honeymoon, Royal Caribbean delivered. This was a cruise that was not only worth doing but worth doing again. There's too much too see in one trip. You have to go back more than once.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had The Key so it was smooth. I plan to purchase it again on my next cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
CHOPS IS THE TRUTH!!!! If I were to pick one specialty dining restaurant, I would DEFINITELY recommend that!!! Johnny Rockets was also good. Windjammer offers a nice selection.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I thought the shows were good. I thought the DJs were good except I requested certain songs for the gathering for the honeymooners and they didn't have them. Other than that, I think they did a good job.

Children's Programs

I was on my honeymoon.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I thought the staff and service was very good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was clean and well kept.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I found the cabin to be comfortable. My ONLY complaint was the bed. I found it to be uncomfortable with my bad back.

Ship tip

For your first time, if you're really not a beach person, just take one of the taxi island tours that are waiting outside of the port. It'll take you around between 2-3 hours. If you're looking to hang out at the beach, the tours are usually around 5 hours.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
There was more to do than I originally thought. I have to go back so I can finish the island.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We didn't do an island tour since it was our first cruise but we did go downtown. I DEFINITELY recommend Gladys' Cafe.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We did an island tour. It was a beautiful island.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
We did a island tour. It was a beautiful island.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
We did an island tour. It was a beautiful island.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
We did an island tour. I think this was probably the most beautiful island on the itinerary. You get to see where Rihanna originally grew up and her current house.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had The Key so it was great. Very easy leaving the ship.
