Review summary

Crew was excellent, especially in the dining room.  We were at table 415, late dining.  2 waiters and head waiter were very attentive to wife's special needs.

Stateroom was terrible.  No space.  Our 3 pieces of luggage fit inside of each other and still, as one, took up half the closet space. Wife's long dresses laying on the suitcase.  Little couch for barley 2 people with a 12 inch diameter table.  Bathroom was so small you couldn't bend over without bumping your head on the tiny sink, with water flow so slow you couldn't tell it was on.  Circular shower about 24 inches diameter.  Don't drop the soap.  No room to bend over or stoop to pick it up.

That picture is so misleading. If that is a large SR.........Must have been taken with a very wide angle lens. I have a regular camera and couldn't get far enough away to get a good picture.

Great because of the excursion to the water falls, rain forest-flower gardens, and bird aviary.

Had fun walking the gauntlet(shopping in the 100's of row house shops) on the hill-side, and the picnic. Royal Caribbean has made the most out of a small strip of land.

Not a chance.  The beds were way down on the floor.  We didn't know the stewards would store the luggage.

I enjoyed reading about the wonderful crew on your cruise.  I am sorry that the cabin was not up to your expectations.  Usually you can get cabin dimensions from the Cruise line's Website.  If not call and ask.  Or have your TA call.  I assume that you tried to put the suitcases under the beds? Alos you can ask your steward to store your luggage in a storage area.
