Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was great but the walls are not thick enough to keep you from hearing the kids yelling next door.

Ship tip

Best way to get from end to end is on Deck 5 (Promenade) or Deck 8 (Central Park).

Did a dive excursion through Cruises.com. Dive was great and Mer Adventuro Dive is a great operation. Getting there is a challenge. First, you have to get out of the port to get a taxi. To do this, you have to walk past EVERY store in the port. The port is not big enough to handle four ships, especially when one of them is a megaship like Harmony. Then, once you get a taxi, you have to explain where you want to go and my taxi driver did not know the town that well. The instructions said go to the Tequila Beach Building which doesn't exist anymore. It is now called the Beach Escape Building, which ironically is where the taxis congregate in town. He also did not know where Mer Adventuro Dive was.

Went on a dive excursion to Anthony Key Dive Resort which is a great operation. Problem was packing 26 people into a 28-seat Caribbean bus with dive gear.

If you tell one of the crew members, they will speak to the parents.

We like RCCL and NCL...But we also don't like screaming children in the cabin next to us or at the buffet/restaurant...

R.C is a brand well known for kids & family adventures. They cater for younger, athletic types with rock walls, flow riders, skating, and adventure playgrounds of all kinds. When you want to avoid such 'razza-matazz' book with a more traditional cruise company like Princess.

Glad you enjoyed and yes some children do need to be controlled a little more. I always worry in the buffet as m not real steady and my husband walks with a cane, I’m always afraid we will trip as they are running all around.
