This cruise was the best. It went to one of.my favorite destinations in the world and the crew and staff were more than acccomodating. Met some great people/ passsengers from all over world, learned some Carribean history, met some top local islanders and drank plenty of rum. I'm definitely sailing with Royal Carribean.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows were great Troy Thirdgill was hilarious. His topics touched on the ship and its passsengers. Tyrone the steel drummer had some smooth cool rythmns, and the classical trio Rapsody relaxed me as I drank my cappuccinos and espressos.
