Choose this cruise for the port itinerary and to go when family and friends. This was my first cruise. I liked the various islands we visited. I thought they were all going to be similar but I was surprised to find that they are quite different from one another. Very nice tours to choose from provided by Royal Caribbean. I found that the dining was sometimes very good and at other times it was just so so. I only ate at the complementary dining room, the buffet, and the promenade cafe. The selection always included meet, fish, and vegetarian options. I found it hard to refill our bottles with water before going on an excursion or even to keep in our rooms, but, I must say that the tap water in our rooms was very drinkable and I used that some of the time instead of buying bottled water all the time.
The staff on the ship were wonderful! Always friendly, cheerful, and helpful if needed. The rooms were kept immaculately, with a precious new towel animal to greet us each afternoon! That was just delightful.
The boarding and disembarking process was painless. Kudos to Royal Caribbean for that!
160 sf for two singles was a bit tight but managed to find room for all our stuff. Having a window in the room helped to make it seem larger. We were able to look down on the Carnival Parade during the last night onboard. Always fresh beds which were comfortable and the animal sculptures were a real plus. The bathroom was always cleaned and worked great.
