Review summary

The first 3 nights were very rough however the sea was calm. Kids were sick and did not eat dinner 2 nights. Other ships travelling at the same time to the same ports did not experience rough sea (possible stabilizer issues?) The food was abundant however not as good as Celebrity Line. Staterooms were much smaller that we thought and did not accomodate luggage for 4. With all that said, we still had a great time the last 4 days of the cruise. The staff is fantastic and try hard. The shows were also fabulous.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

If you like beach party atmosphere take a cab straight from boat to French beach Orient Beach. Water Activities and inexpensive food and drinks. DO not take ferry at dock unless you just want the experience. You can take a cab to shop.

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

Nice island to start with. Excessive charge by Royal Carribean to use their own blowup water activities
