Review summary

This cruise is a must do! The ports are incredible! Each and every stop was well worth it. We booked 3 of the 4 tours via RCL! They were amazing and I really enjoyed all of them. We booked "An Ultimate Island Tour: Explorer Cruise and Island Tour"! It was absolutely Amazing. We enjoyed this cruise so much (even after 7 cruises) we are planning on booking this cruise again next year!

We only saw the comedy show and it was funny as heck. We also attended a party on the pool deck! It was a BLAST!!!!!

Service and Staff

Our stateroom attendant was the best ever! Our dining room attendants were incredible. Service beyond reproach. The Windjammer staff were personable, friendly and professional. The staff on this ship were the hardest working you'll find anywhere.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I would rate it 4 stars. But we had three in the room and the couch was used instead of a drop bed. There was literally no place to walk in the room. I almost hated going in there. The bathroom was efficient....the shower was 100% awesome!!!

Ship tip

Get a room on a middle floor, in the middle of the ship... The ship had lots of movement. More than I've ever found before.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Check out old San Juan! It's a must do!

Oranjestad, Aruba

Great port! We did a private tour... with Aruba Fantasy! it was superb. Aruba is very dry and desert-like. But it certainly has it's beauty!

Willemstad, Curacao
