Outstanding crew, dining, and layovers! Royal Caribbean as a company is lacking integrity.

Review summary

We ordered our staterooms (5) eleven months early. We requested early dining because of 7 children under the age of 10. We were assigned late dining and were told that early dining was full and not available.... really? We also have a special needs member of the family that the cruise line failed to pass information on to the ship so we had to deal with that as well. The ship's crew was outstanding!!! The company, not so much. We also pre-ordered diapers with the promise that they would be in the stateroom upon arrival. It took 2 1/2 days to finally obtain what we'd paid for. The company doesn't seem to communicate with the ships.

Ship tip

Don't trust pre-ordered items to be actually provided (company issue, not ship).

Even though you provide a selfie during pre-check in online, they STILL take your picture at the terminal.

Excellent place to just get off the boat and walk around. Tours are nice but there's so much to do on your own!

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Activities for youth were very well handled by the crew but the facilities are sorely lacking sophistication. Better to enjoy the beach and food - the zipline was fun.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
They try to push everyone off a little too quickly. Long lines at the customs services.

Was this through autism of the seas because I was considering taking my grandson?
