Review summary

Favorite part of our cruise was our stop in Jamaica and visiting the Dunns Falls. This was the time of our life, beautiful scenery and a fun time. The cruise ship was very nice, however the food in the buffet area was good, but the day to day variation was lacking. (Same type of food every day). If you are looking for gifts you will need to buy something off the ship. All we could find are expensive jewelry, purses, watches. They had very little souvenir style items. (P.S> our trip included a stop in Haiti.. this was a resort owned by Royal Caribbean. Unless you took an excursion, there really was nothing to do or see other than set at the beach)... This all being said, the cruise was still fun and we will do it again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Buffet in the windjammer was pretty basic, day to day items very seldom changed. Not much to chose from.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Some things to do, but we are not drinkers or gamblers. We are also not late night people. Need more during day time.

Entertainment

Cabin / Stateroom

Very nice cabin. Large bed, easy out to the balcony. It was nice to set on the balcony during slow times on the ship (vs setting on the upper deck)

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

Nothing to really do or see here. Unless you plan on doing an excursion, I would not come back to this spot. ... This being said, it was very pretty and we sat on the beach most of the day.

Dunn's Falls was the best time we have had. We bought the video because we didn't have a water proof camera. You will get 100 soaked from top to bottom, wear water shoes and HAVE FUN... We did and will do it again sometime.

Dunn's River Falls are the absolute best!! We are going again in December just for the fun of climbing them! We're gonna try zip-lining as well.
