Review summary

I was disappointed with Royal Caribbean this time. The cruise locations to the Panama Canal was great. They have really cheezed down their entertainment and fun activities, and this was my 6th cruise with them. The food was just average, some of it very good, but none of it excellent. They need to go back to chocolate on the bed, animals made each night and better entertainment. Come on a hermomica player (oh yuck) and your cruise directior playing his flute, very sad and boring.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

The kayaka was fun. Too many vendors swarming you, I was really turned off for shopping, and i love to shop. The mats are a waste of time and cost, so is the walking tour.

Was really good but the 8 hour trip is too long, do a shorter version. We had no time to shop at the port location or even look around. We got back at 545 and we had dinner at 6.

This was the best tour! Take the bus, train, and boat. They do it right. You are taken through the tropical forrest by all 3 means of transportaion and well worth it. Love the boat ride.

Save this place for shopping. Was disappointed they closed the shops at 2:30 but the parade was very nice.This is a high end place for beautifull items, purses, perfume, but watch the jewelry price some of it isnt that great.
