This is my second cruise with Royal Caribbean and this one was great! I went with my bf(25) Sister(26) her bf(20 something) my mom(54) and her friend (around her age)! ok well lets start with the bus like i went on Entertainment tours well the bus driver was very rude and had no clue he was bringing us to new jersey he kept on insisting that it was to new york and he was dropping off at Carnival, well i showed him my receipt and my bus tickets and that solved that problem! ok well it was a rainy day when we left and the bus ride took longer than expected but when we arrived to the Port it was smooth as can be from there! We were checked in and were on the ship within 15 minutes! OK so we had a Promenade, it was wonderful! i highly recommend it. it was very spacious and if you wanted room service you didn't have to eat on your bed, there were 2 couches and a beauty station! very spacious!

The Promenade is gorgeous! it really feels like you are walking on the street! As soon as we got on the ship we went to the windjammer and had a delicious lunch! did the Monster drill and we were off! i bought some bingo tickets and played bingo! i ended up winning a free mini facial! (gave it to my mom for mothers day). Phil the activities guy was so funny! You are Phil you are! We had 2nd dinner on the 4th floor, our waiters were Rufo and Merrick! WOW they were excellent! deff the best we've had so far. they are hard workers! by the 2nd day they knew what dessert i wanted! i am predictable! the food was excellent every night! The dance club is good! Good times at the Chamber! The casino was fun! i won a few hundred dollars! there was this one machine and this lady was on it for days! every time i would walk by she would have her light on bc she would keep winning money! she wouldn't get off that damn machine! haha

ok so lets talk about the ports of call! Day 4 we were at St Thomas! we booked the excursion the ultimate island experience. (the day before we went to a program and my mom bought this booklet that you got all kinds of free things you just had to go and claim them she never got to because the bus didn't drop us off at the place it was supposed to so she never got to get anything so she paid $25 for nothing) ok so getting off the boat was very quick! as soon as we got off the buses were right there ready to bring you on the excursion! the bus ride was nice the roads are so windy tho a little scary but when you get to the top its worth it! we made a few stops.. took pictures.. and then went to Megan's bay for 2 hrs. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! the food is very expensive at the little hut tho! i think a hamburger was like $8 so anyways after we left Megan's Bay we were brought back to where we got dropped off and did a some shopping at the stores some were closing tho by the time we got back but all in all it was a good day! We went to the windjammer the first few days for lunch but we started going to the casual dining rooms the rest of the cruise.. its much more relaxed and the menus are great! you should try it out!
