We picked the wrong week to travel. children were on vacation with too much energy. Lots of babies in the late dinner seating. I thought that was odd and disruptive.

If you like to eat healthy, I would suggest bringing your own food with you. Also, bring your own water as it is hard to access water without having to buy the bottled ones on the ship. Make the most of your day by planning your own activities, and you can skip most of the night time shows.

Be sure to attend all the shows: they are wonderful. Take some time to explore the ship, since it is an engineering marvel.

If there are 2 ships in Labadee, go to lunch early and watch your step around the eating/serving areas. People are crowded to get in line, and it is easy to trip and step off the edge and hit the concrete flower beds. Needs to be a little safer here and reduce liability for RC.

One day the room service forgot to bring our order. The other two days they forgot some items from our order.

When in Labadee go for lunch early my kids had the zip line at 1:00 and most of the food was gone by time they went to eat. But the island was great.

Only have one thought. It was very hard getting a reclining chair at the pool. Many guest had their towels on the chairs and they were not anywhere to be found. Suggestion is somehow do not let guess reserve the recliners without being present. Some went to eat and let their stuff on the chair

In Grand Cayman take the public bus or book your own transportation and go to Cemetery Beach! It is a quiet and beautiful beach in the West Bay. No restrooms, no facilities but lots of trees for shade and great spots for snorkeling. Grocery store less than a mile away. It was the best of this trip!

Buy the drink package it's well worth it. Sorry to say if you pay for something extra it pretty much is worth it. So make sure your credit card has a lot of credit on it you will need it.

For example: Don't need to book a tour in San Juan just go to the "White" tram/trolley stop outside the pier for a free ride to Old San Juan and tour the forts, that will take all day, they are massive and for 5 bucks well worth it. US cell phone work and it's usually included in you plan.

Shore Trips were Super Expensive to book before hand or on the ship itself. Not enough deck chairs to enjoy outdoor activities. Not enough elevators to accomodate 4000 people. A maze to get to the 14th deck where the Surf Rider, Rock Climbing Wall, and other stuff is. Board as late as you can!

If you buy a drink package you should be able to get a drink on you way off the ship, not true. Some days the bars do not open until 11. You can get breakfast type cocktails in Romeo and Juliet etc.

We found the buffet crowded and a little frantic at peak times. Best come a little late for a more relaxing meal. The dining room always offered a relaxing setting. We paid for flexible dining and were seated every night with different people which we enjoyed.

You can ask for items that are not on the menu. If available, you will get them the next night, like shrimp cocktail. You can have your tips removed from your onboard account and tip the people you want to acknowledge with the amount you choose.
