Review summary
We particularly enjoyed the Safari Island Drive with Christian on St. Kitts. Our St. Maartin tour was cancelled and replaced with the Double Decker tour. That tour only shows tourists the overall island and there is no time to eat a meal or really shop. We are going back to St. Maartin next year for a week. Shopping is better on St. Maartin.
Room service & the dining room are the best free choices for meals on the ship. We enjoyed having a balcony to eat breakfast on one morning. The balcony also helped us to enjoy the cruise without feeling crowded. Hot tubs were only empty in the mornings. Otherwise, pools looked quite crowded.
The first night's mandatory drill caused dinner to be cancelled until 8:30 PM. I think the ship should leave earlier and have the drill earlier, instead of taking an hour of our time the first evening.
We did not book the next cruise while on the ship.

Ship tip
I purchased the Gin & Tonic Royal Gift package which saved us a lot of money. Bottled water was hard to come by on the ship, but I think it may be available at the Pool Bar. We did fine with the complimentary 2 liters of water and the gin package. The Royal Shop had a great sale the last evening.
