7 nt November 2014 anniversary cruise. I booked directly with RC and added a 4nt stay at the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando. I did all the pricing my self and they came up with a better price so I went with it. The only part of the vacation was the transfers f/airport the from ship to hotel. I would make sure I had better transportation if I ever book with them again. We arrived at MCO early and waited and waited for ....all the other people coming from other airlines to fill the bus to get to the pier. I thought I had shuttle transportation. The only upside to this was when we arrived at the pier we walked through everything no waiting for anything. When we boarded the ship we walked up to get some food we were starving being at the airport for hours. As we were walking through the ship people were having a good time all the hot tubs were filled. :( Then mandated muster drill then off we go. Our room was a promenade room right above the pursur's desk. I believe deck 8? I loved the promenade room. The ship had a lot of entertainment and games to play very relaxing, It was an all around good cruise and if I wasn't going to Universal Studios from there I would have book the next sailing out that day. One of the nicest people we met did this a (sister and brother). Ship was clean, room was nice.

Cabin Review

Promenade Stateroom

Standard cabin but with a view of the promenade which made it feel bigger

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Arrived at pier so late that checking in was unbelievably fast.

Labadee

RC private island area. Husband did the Zip line which was worth the money. He had a blast. I didn't like walking to the beach area they had a lot of local vendors that you had to walk past handing you stuff saying it was for free then running after you saying it wasn't. hahaha that was fun to watch. Although getting chairs for you didn't cost. you really are expected to tip they don't tell you this on board to bring some money for tipping. The food is complimentary since it's coming from their ship.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

7 mile beach beautiful to walk on. Took a taxi from pier to some hotel sorry forgot which one paid a couple of dollars to use the beach it had food and a bar it was very nice. There is a lot of taxi's waiting to take you to a beach. Chairs required money again sorry I forgot just bring an extra towel or sheet to lay on.
