Review summary

RC needs to either add more infrastructure or better schedule departures and port visits. Overall cruise was very good but we will be taking smaller ships in future. The venue on board could not handle 6000 people at times

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Took just minutes to board. Only negative was parking as another ship had left previous day and parking garage was full

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5

No kids

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

2 out of 5
Still recovering from hurricane 5 years ago and then from Covid shutdown. Main areas downtown and beachside look like a warzone

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
They have built a number of shops. Ship is too big to dock other side of island where most of downtown shops/restaurant are

Appreciate your feedback. Bigger isn’t always better. Fortunately, there are choices and we all can find what fits our own needs. Good for you for trying the bigger ship.
