Review summary

SHIP was absolutely amazing. I have been on 14 Royal Caribbean cruises and by far, this was a wow. We had an inside stateroom but seemed bigger than usual. Best trip ever! Can't go wrong with sports fun (basketball, arcade, golf, putt putt, ice skating (yes, ice skating) and so much more. Food was amazing, even had a Johnny Rockets on board

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

Although still beat up by Wilma,,,,I highly recommend the Fury Catamaran Snorkel and beach tour....it was a BLAST...saw dolphins, snorkeled and went to a small beach, played volleyball, got to take kids on jet skis (cheaper than any where else) and had an open bar. This was one of the best excursions I have done on the 18 cruises I have been on...including the 14 RCCL.

Great getaway...1st time here...last 3 times I was supposed to come...hit by a hurricane. Lot to do and relax. With kids, you must do the inflatable ice berg, floats and such...kids love it
