Although she is starting to show her age, the Serenade of the Seas was meticulously cleaned.

This was one of the largest cabins we have had on any of the Royal Caribbean ships we have been on. It was spacious and comfortable.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5

It hasn't changed much through the years, unfortunately I think they are having issues with trash disposal

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5

It has been 20 years since our last visit and it still looks incredible. Friendly people and they have really made a great effort to comeback after hurricanes and the world shutting down. We did not do any excursions here.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5

Although I love St. Thomas, I was very taken back by Charlotte Amile. I almost shed a tear. What I remembered as a bustling main street is now a shadow of itself. It really hasn't come back from the devastation of the world shutting down and I wish everyone there a better future

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Weather did not allow us to visit this port. Perhaps I will get that chance on another cruise

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

Unlike Embarkation, debarkation had its issues. There was a problem with the main gangway and everyone was diverted through the exit on deck2.
