Review summary

Loved the ship.  The room steward and dining staff were outstanding.  Unfortunately our cabin was next to one with a very unhappy baby.  Would appreciate dress code enforcement at dining time.  Awful experience on Royal's private island Labadee.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was fine. Balcony was very nice and do to its' size, thought chairs should have been recliners or with stools. Unfortunately, baby next door did what babies do in a new environment ... cried. Nothing against children, but felt since we weren't traveling with any we should have been put in a non-children area.

Ship tip

Lack of cruise personnel on private island made us feel like we were on our own.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Once outside the terminal, security and anyone we could find in uniform was rude, condescending and disrespectful.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

Don't bother going to Artisan Market, unless you're ready to be mobbed.
