Overall, great cruise. Glad to see a cruise departing from Barbados. Counting Barbados, the cruise visited 9 islands in 11 days. Well worth the money.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Embarkation process was smooth. Lines moved fairly quick.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Overall, the food was good but expected more from RCL. Main dining room was 3.5, specialty restaurants 4. The buffet scores highest due to the number of options. Solo diners note that unless you place a personal item on your table if you go back for more at the buffet, your table will quickly be cleared and someone at you seat before you can return.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Though not an activity, it would be nice for RCL to play some Caribbean music over the speakers, at least while in port. I don't recall hearing any Caribbean music being played on board. Playing Caribbean music would generate a bit more anticipation and excitement at each port of call.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Great staff! Enjoyed talking with them in between their shifts.

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin was clean but the bathroom was small. Hard to navigate the space between the bed and the wall.
The Trinidad Highlights & Scenic Drive tour was rushed. We had only 10 minutes at one lookout spot, 5 minutes at another, and only 20 minutes at Maracas Beach.
Smooth disembarkation. Was able to quickly locate my luggage. For first-time RCL cruisers, I recommend bringing a carry-on or small backsack in which to place toiletries and change of clothes in case you are not eligible for self-debarkation.
