Review summary
My favorite part of the ship was the dining and staff. Ice skating rink rarely available. The Grease show was good but, keep in mind is not a family friendly show. Casino placed in the middle of the ship which made it difficult to get to restaurants if your not a fan of smoking. The ports were beautiful and provided many excursions. If youre traveling with a young child under six their is not any activities besides swimming and shopping in Labadee. Lunch is provided in Labadee by royal carribean on the island. Kids clubs are available and a family tot room is also available. Several Jacuzzi are available around the ship. No slides or anything fancy in pool area, besides the waterplay area for young children. I would consider traveling with Royal carribean but, I would not utilize this particular ship. It was boring. Their are night clubs, adult comedy club and a movie night. The embarkation and disembarkation are horrible. We were told to leave our rooms by 9 am and wait in an area to be called. We left the port after 11 am. Port staff are very rude and their is not a restroom in the port until you clear security. Which is horrible for those who travel with children. I would recommend this ship for older cruisers or younger cruisers who intend on drinking, eating and swimming.
