Review summary

The week started very stressful. Although we put it on ourselves. We will NEVER travel on cruise day again. recommends coming in the day before and I cannot agree more. We rose at 2 AM and the day went fine. But worrying about the flights being on time making connections and luggage arriving and racing to the boat is way to stressful. Embarking - couldn't have been faster and easier. We arrived after 2 PM - but only 2 people in front of us in line and mroe lines than I could count. We were at the buffet by 3 - awesome. We just closed our cabin door and our attendant was there. The room - very nice - the bed - outstanding - the bathroom - you could even move around - very spacious. We were in Balcony Suite 6528 - our friends were in 6530 - as reserved - and the balcony's opened up ! Activities - non stop. Or just sit on the balcony. Over 4000 people on spring break week - yes it was crowded - pool chairs hard to come by - but we had a balcony so we didnt care. Day 1 - we pre purchased the wine flight - ok its $54.50 per person additional - but after spending $3000 for the cruise its peanuts - IT WAS FABULOUS - only 16 people - and we had the entire back room at the Portifino. From the bingo to the Quest to leaving - couldnt have been better - I will say the staff was very good however the port planner warned us not to book shore excursions outside of Royal Carribean - that is unfair - we pre booked a tour on St Martin - she warned us that it might not be there and there was no guarantee that we woudl get back to the ship - NOT TRUE - she needs to be talked to - it was great. One item to look for - RC wants everything booked through them - so when using ( was also perfect) RC does not have debark information and you are somewhat on your own. But debarking was easy also.
