	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony A Nice Cruise by Mr. & Mrs. S from Northern VA Sailing date: Oct 2009 Pros: The Activities Available Cons: Lack of Free Beverage Stations It was overall a good cruise. The ship was clean and most of the staff was very friendly. Just wish there had been beverage stations available on the pool deck. Prior cruises had them, and it was sorely missed on this ship. Ship Details: Ship Quality It was annoying that you had to go up one flight of stairs, through the casino, and back down a flight of stairs to get to the main shows from dinner. Dining/Food We didn't try any of the specialty restaurants that were not included. There was only one evening that we didn't like the main entree selection during dinner. Stateroom Quality The chairs on our balcony were dirty. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities A great variety of things to do around the ship. There was only one main show that we didn't like. We liked that the main shows were fun and not super cheesy. 11 out of 12 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

I would definetely recommend these ships we had the best time in both of them plus Royal Caribbean has by far the best shows and the crew really tries hard to work with each passenger to accomodate them fully Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Spectacular cruise by Eric R from Greenville, MS Sailing date: Aug 2009 Pros: Entertainment, food, ports of call, excursions The ship and cruise experience was spectacular, beyond my expectation. The staff were always courteous, friendly and helpful. The food in the main dining hall was excellent. The food in the Italian specialty restaurant, The Portofino, was nothing less than superb. We did not miss any of the evening shows in the Lyrica theatre. The musicians were superb and entertaining. Phil Tag, the comedian, was so funny, and can't wait to see him again on Jay Leno. We had perfect weather at all of our ports of call, and enjoyed snorkeling in Barbados and Antigua, and tree zip-lining in St. Lucia. The beaches were best on St. Maarten, esp. Orient beach. The port at St. Croix was disappointing, but the beaches are nice at the better resorts (we went to the Buccaneer). The shopping was also the best in St. Maarten. The cruise shopping director overpushed Diamonds International and Columbia Emeralds, and much fine jewelry, watches and local crafted products could be found at much better prices.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Inside best vacation by Judy B. from San Diego, CA Sailing date: Jul 2009 Pros: kid's club Cons: arrival time at the ports That was the best vacation we ever had. The kid's club was open till 10 pm free of charge, and after that it was $5/hour per child. They were open till 2 am, so after dropping the kids at the kid's club we were going out every day. We haven't done that in a long time. The entertainment was great: something new each night: from ice skating show to the production show Vegas style to different type of music in the bars. The food was good, but nothing special and even though they had restaurants open 24 hours a day, I didn't put any weight on. The worst thing was, that after going to bed at 1-2 am, it was very difucult to get up early enough to be able to get to the tours that they had. Luckily, we were able to get a taxi and get to the beach without any problems. Fortunately, the beaches were the only interesting things on the islands. There wasn't anything else to see, except St. Marten, that has somewhat unusual history. Anyway, now we are thinking about going on a short cruise for a weekend, instead of going to Vegas, the place we used to go for a short out of town trip.

The staff was wonderful and very friendly. The ship was clean and well kept. As stated before more activities need3ed to be planned for early evening though.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Inside Was let down by Royal Carribean Cruise by Denise from Columbus Oh Sailing date: Mar 2009 Pros: The beaches on the islands Cons: The service the cruiseline gave after crusing 4 times with them. After 3 years of waiting to be able to go on a cruise again with Royal Caribbean, I was so shocked and disappointed. The food quality has gone down. The same lunch items everyday at the buffet. The service for our room was poor. Our floor never got vaccumed and we had to strip the bed to get clean sheets. I was to have a container in my room to put my needles in after I took my shots but no where to be found. The band at the pool was terrible and as I listened to the song they sang the words were depressing about someone loosing a girlfriend and didn't want to live any longer. I got up and left the area. There was not really a midnight buffet in the grand dining room as I had experineced before. Just one night on deck and was not good at all. Lots of other cruisers complained about the lower standards. Even the evening entertainment was not that great. At the Captains Welcome Back we were not offered appetizers, just walk right by my husband and another couple and we even tried to reach out to get it off the tray. Was very disappointed about the whole cruise. The ports were the best and it was a good thing they were because it would have been a terrible vacation. My husband said he would not cruise again after that disappointment. The only good thing I can say was the ship was clean as always. The staff was nice.

The snorkeling was not great. Didn't care for Arbua otherwise. Other ports much better. Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I. This is the 2nd time to St Thomas and we highly recommend this port. Snorking and swimming is awesome. Magen's Beach is a must see and place to hang out. A Beautiful Island. Philipsburg, St. Maarten We liked this port to. The beach was nice and lots of shopping. Curacao I would love to go back and spend a few days there. The Taxi service took us to this very nice beach that cost $3.00. I could have stayed there at the beach the whole day. It was clean and nice there. Not much else other than shopping. Lots of shopping there 10 out of 11 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Group Stateroom Type: Balcony Loved our experience! by Rebecca H. from Los Angeles, CA Sailing date: Nov 2008 Pros: The ship had everything you could want on it. Cons: Waiting in lines for everything. The ship is huge and just amazing. The inside promenade was fun to just look at. The Islands were incredibly beautiful, but very humid and hot. Our room was a typical ship cabin, not huge but very comfortable. We started in Puerto Rico. We went to Old San Juan and to the two forts. They were just amazing. We went snorkeling in Aruba, which was ok. We took a buggie ride excursion in Curacao which was really a fun and exciting experience. The Men running it were great. We also took an excursion in St. Thomas, to the top of the island, which offered amazing views and history of the island. Over all we had a wonderful experience. We would definitely take this trip again. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Children's Programs While we didn't have our children on the ship with us, we did pay attention to what they offered for kids, in case we decided to take ours with us someday. The whole back of the ship was dedicated to kids of all ages, 3 year old to teenagers, and there were plenty of all ages on the ship. Each morning they had a parent and infant class for any babies on the boat. Each age group had a dedicated area just for them. There were two water slides into smaller pools located at the back of the boat and child sized tables and chairs. The staff seemed very capable and dedicated. In fact as we were leaving the ship on the last day I heard one little four year old tell her mother she didn't want to leave. 9 out of 15 people found this review helpful.
