Cruised with my wife and another couple choosing this cruise because of the 8 nights and ports of call. We are all Diamond members and have cruised exclusively on RCCL.
Flew into Ft. Lauderdale the day before and enjoyed our stay at the Embassy Suites. Took a Taxi to the cruise port arriving at 10:45 am and was on the ship by 11:30 am eating lunch. Embarkation was smooth and all the RCCL workers were friendly and helpful. One change is that you do not get your sea pass card until you get to your room at 1 pm.
One complaint is the muster drill. I know it is mandatory but our station was directly facing the sun and we were packed in like sardines for 20 minutes in 85 degree heat sweating profusely. Some people could not take it and walked inside to get some air, made me half sick to my stomach.
Nice cabin which was kept very clean by Joel our room attendant.
Did not get off the Ship as we had been to San Juan many times. Hvae always enjoyed our stops and excursions in the past.
Love Labadee. Clean Beaches and Good Food. If you Cruise make stopping at Labadee a must see.
Went shopping and stopped at Juggies to get cigars and have a drink. Had lunch at an OHIO STATE themed restaurant facing the beach. Had a wonderful day in my favorite port.
Did some shopping at the local shops and enjoyed a drink at the outdoor bar.
