Review summary

The Ship and crew the service were incredible. We had a great time, words can't describe the experience, and this is my 9th cruise (3rd w/RCI). The nightly shows were as good as Vega's. The departure was as smooth as i have ever seen. One thing i strongly recomend is to pay the $5 p/bag pre-checking option. You get boarding passes and miss out on the airport bag hassle. This is a must in my opinion!!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Wait staff, food, and variety were suppereb. Not something one would do on a nightly vasis on a tipical island, but can't imagine passing out the great experience.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Loved the idea that there was something new and exiting waiting for us every night with out the extra expense. My children were the best behave at the shows, that's how much they love it.

The Ship, crew and service was incredible.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

I/we were on a outside cabin for four (8,6yrs) the children were too young for their own cabin, i was hoping for a bit bigger cabin. Bunk beds above the queen, made it hard to get out in the middle of night without bumping your head, the kids loved the bunks.

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

1 out of 5

Hated the hassle, people were friendly but overpowering and rude if you didn't buy from them. would probably stay in the ship next time around.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5

The best island by far, no hassle, or dishing out extra money for cab fairs, or food. Loved the way the entire ship comes to shore and maintain the same quality the ship has to offer on land.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Next to Labadee this was by far the best island. The natives were nice not pushy like jamaica or labadee.The locals were humble and polite. loved their beaches.
