Review summary

We called it the Saints' cruise because we visited St. Croix, St. Maarten, St. Lucia, St. Kitts as well as Barbados. We had never taken anything longer than a 7-night cruise and wondered if there would be enough to keep us occupied on six sea days (3 at the beginning, 5 islands, three sea days at the end. It was a great cruise despite the weather on the way there and back. You can't plan on the weather and RC did a great job keeping us safe and occupied.

Baltimore has always been an easy experience.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

I only wish the menu had more heart-healthy choices. Fish cooked in butter is NOT heart healthy.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Some of the activities staff had trouble getting audience participation. They did a good job with what they had to work with.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Tango Beunos Aires was great! I can't imagine dancing on a stage that is moving with such rocky seas!

Mistakenly booked a cabin under the main kitchen. Nobody to blame but myself!

Don't book a cabin under the kitchen unless you sleep like a log.

Thank you! We leave Friday! I am kind of worried about rough seas!
