I travel with my husband, all our children, grandchildren and brother, and sometimes his children- so anywhere from 2 to 21 people at a time. This time there were 8, from 11 to 75. This was our second cruise on Royal Caribbean, our first was a wedding cruise (not ours) on the Allure. I have 15 cruises with Carnival, and two with Norwegian, and we were trying things out.

I had read every Cruise Critic comment about this ship and was prepared for the best and the worst., luckily, for the most part, we got the best.

We departed Miami, which is always a disaster, but at least we weren't under the dreaded white tent. The biggest frustration is that you are given a "boarding time" with your on-line check in. But, to do the on-line check in, you have to already have your transportation arranged. There aren't that many planes from Atlanta to Miami which will get you to the port on time. Our plane arrived at 10:45---yet our "boarding time was 2:30. Not having it, went on to the port. Took about 70 minutes to board, start to finish.

Cabin E3

Neat, clean, well-placed. Because it connected with our daughter's room, we had an armchair not a couch. That made a world of difference in adding space to the room!!

Port Reviews

Labadee

Everything is good in Labadee (well, the food is very standard and anything other than the basic beach costs money...but...RC does nickel and dime you to death)), but the beaches on Labadee are great, For a minor fee, I had a float, and we tasked the granddaughter to make sure her mother and I didn't float away. Shopping was good, love the shops where the money goes to help the villages. Just wish there was Haitian food, not overdone hot dogs and hamburgers.
