Excellent Cruise by
Debbie D from Akron, Ohio Sailing date: Jan 2010Pros: Ice Skating show, food and activities Cons: beaches at ports The ship was absolutely beautiful. there was nothing about it I didn't love. There was so much to do on the ship I didn't get to do it all. The pools were great. I loved the fact that they were not salt water. I have been on two Carnival ships and the pools were salt water and I hated that. There were so many pools and hot tubs on this ship that you never felt crowded. Ship QualityThe cleanliness of the ship was excellent. I don't ever recall anything ever being nothing but spotless. The decor was beautiful. Dining/FoodThe food was excellent. I loved the make your own pasta station. something I have never seen before. The selection was fabulous at the Windjammer. The service at both the windjammer and Romeo and Juliet was outstanding. The staff was so friendly and very helpful. There was nothing I had the entire week that was not outstanding. The only suggestion I have is that the ice cream station was called Sprinkles but there were never any sprinkles for your ice cream. Stateroom QualityThe beds were actually pretty comfortable. the size of the room was ok. A small room for 3 ladies is not the best thing in the world but you arent in the room much so it's ok. Ship Staff QualityStaff quality was excellent. Everyone that took care of us went above and beyond. the state room attendant was great. He made us the best towel animals. The ladies I was with asked for a lot of things and he was great. We chatted with him the hall like we knew him for years. The waiter in the romeo and Juliet always made us feel so good and missed when we didn't make it to dinner. He gave us great tips for the ports and allowed us to eat way too much. Entertainment & ActivitiesThe ice skating show was the best ever. I have never seen such great tricks on the ice. the comedy shows were good too. I thought the guy who did the closing night show was the best. The variety of activities on the ship was great. The sports section was excellent. I wish I had time to enjoy more of it.  17 out of 18 people found this review helpful.

  The best cruise ever by
Gary H from Carrollton,Ga Sailing date: Mar 2009Pros: The food, shows, ports of call, room Cons: Can't think of a thing My wife and I have taken six previous cruises over the years and had never experienced one that came close to this one in total satisfaction! Everything was well planned from the booking experience to the leaving of the ship on the final day. Ship Quality

Entertainment & ActivitiesEvery night there was great entertainment and activities. The last night headliner act was a disapointment as it wasn't up to the standard we came to expect. 
Collapse List of Ports
Labadee (Cruiseline Private Island)A relaxing day on the beach
San Juan, Puerto RicoMost of Old San Juan can be better seen by walking.
Don't Miss: The old fort Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.We did the beach and the shoping here. This was by far the best of the ports we visited.
Don't Miss: The shoping Philipsburg, St. MaartenTake the water taxi as it is the best value if you make more than one trip a shore. The local merchants were too pushy and constantly approach you trying to sell something, even while on the beach!

Best cruise ever. by
David K. from Suffield,CT. Sailing date: Mar 2013Pros: The ship. Cons: lip synching by performers (except for final show). Great ship and layout. The Royal Promenade really adds something special. Ship QualityAbove average condition. Dining/FoodExceptional food and service. Stateroom QualityVery convenient and accessible layout. Ship Staff QualityExcellent attitude and always very helpful. Entertainment & ActivitiesLip synching by performers in stage shows takes away from show.Ice skating show is a real winner! Children's ProgramsNo children at home but as ex-day care business owners we took note of your programs and were very impressed. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

A great cruise! by
Helen D. from Charlottesville, VA Sailing date: Mar 2013Pros: Amazing port stops, amazing service, great value! Cons: A little too crowded on the boat This was a great cruise. The service was so good, the facilities were great, and the length of the cruise (particularly for the price) was amazing. The three ports (Cayman, Jamaica, Labadee) were so great. I loved it! The only problem would be that the boat was a bit crowded--more for fun rather than relaxation. Ship Quality

the cruise was exceptional. by
erminio dimascio from wethersfield, ct Sailing date: Jan 2013Pros: the ambiance of the cruise liner was fantastic. the dining was unbelievable and the service was great. Cons: i personally did not like consumal, the service of the taxi we had was not professional all the driver wanted was saying all the time was more money, more money. the overall trip was overwhelming, although this was not our first cruise, the cruise liner was strikingly wonderful. Ship Quality
Dining/Foodthe service by the waiters was great, as they went out of their way to accommodate us. Stateroom Qualitywe were disappointed with our room. they could not accommodate us with one bed, we had to sleep separate. after 40 years sleeping together it took this cruise to separate us.

Fabulous Vacation by
Laurel M from Atlanta, GA Sailing date: Dec 2009Pros: Being pampered Cons: Leaving! This was our first cruise and it was a wonderful experience. The ship was spotless, way cleaner than any place I have ever been before. The food was really good, with the exception of desserts. Activities were fun, ports of call were good, the excursions were fun. We were well taken care of and will definitely cruise again. Ship Quality

Great Cruise by
Chris R. from Philadelphia, PA Sailing date: Mar 2009Pros: Food, Great Boat, Nice Cabin, low price Cons: Mediocre Ports Royal Caribbean was a great line. Excellent food, friendly staff, a myriad of services. One complaint - you have to pay tips (if using a credit card) before 12 AM on the day before your last day - I wanted to leave a credit card tip since I had no cash on the last day but was out of luck. Ship QualityHuge ship, very spacious Dining/FoodFood was very good, and the cuisine changed each night - Italian, Chinese, etc. Stateroom QualityVery nice staterooms Ship Staff QualityVery Friendly Entertainment & ActivitiesGood 9 out of 10 people found this review helpful.

Good cruise by
Steven V from United States Sailing date: Mar 2013Pros: The ship and the service are great. Cons: seating at dinner. The ship and service are wonderful. My only complaint is we had a seating request at dinner for ten people from three different rooms in our party. When we got there they had four of our party in a completely different area of the dinning room. They did get us together, but it was at a table meant for eight instead of ten and we were stuffed back in a corner of the dinning room.. Other than that the cruise was wonderful. Ship Quality

Stateroom QualityWe had an interior stateroom which is pretty small for four people, but you don't really spend that much time in the room. Ship Staff Quality

A wonderful vacation! by
Amy Y from Orlando, FL Sailing date: Mar 2013Pros: The ship itself and all of the amenities Cons: Food Nicest ship I've been on overall. Beautiful staterooms. Great Sports Deck. Fun activities. St. Kitts was my favorite port. Wished more cruise lines had this port as an option!! Ship Quality
Dining/FoodHated the new dining room menu. Now themed on spices or ingredients. Food was too bland, and just didn't wow me. Wished they had kept the old menu. Desserts were a disappointment too with no decent cheesecake (my favorite). Despite the food, I still had a wonderful time. Stateroom Quality
