Review summary

We had a great time on our first cruise. I only wish they'd had a bit more organized for kids in the 8 - 12 range. Plenty for them to do on board...just not as much organized which made me feel like I needed to be their personal cruise directors.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
once we discovered which port we needed to arrive at, it was excellent (line moved very quickly)

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food and service at Main Dining Room and Windjammer cafeteria was excellent. Plenty of variety at both.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We all (kids and adults) enjoyed the water slides and pool(s) every day. Movies on deck were a favorite as were the shows in the theater.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the music and stage shows.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
They didn't seem to have anything organized for kids aged 8 - 11. They had spaces for teens and programs for really young kids but not much for in between. I kind of felt like I needed to be the cruise director for my kids much of the time.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiter in the Dining Room was great - he knew menu inside and out and had great descriptions and recommendations. We never felt rushed nor had to wait long for food or drink.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was a little tight for 4 people but we spent very little time in the cabin.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
explore the different beaches; we went to the first one and then felt like we might have missed out

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
our tour here was a bit lacking though it was not booked through Royal Caribbean; I think it was a "you get what you paid for" sort of thing

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
we did a resort for a day here and it was excellent! great time snorkeling

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
I wish we'd done an excursion here...

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
walked right off the boat with our luggage and it was easy to get a shuttle to Ft. Lauderdale

Was your shuttle prebooked to Fort Lauderdale? Was that directly to the airport?
