This ship has plenty to do and lots of places to just chill and relax. Our favorite place to grab lunch or a quick snack was the Park Cafe in the Solarium on Deck 11. The ship staff is helpful and very friendly. The food in the main dining room is excellent as well as the service. The Windjammer buffet could be better, I'd say it's like a Golden Corral - food quality is just alright, could be much better - was crowded. The shows were good in the theater and we also enjoyed a few movies in the cinema. We booked the Land and Sea excursion through Royal Caribbean for Grand Cayman and totally loved it. It took us on a semi-submarine ride, the turtle conservation farm, the lava rock formations called "Hell" and we drove by the Governor's home. The tour guide was amazing and full of information. The only critique I'd have is they didn't give you quite enough time at each stop on tour.

Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D2

Typical balcony cabin, they're all too small! LOL

Our room attendant was friendly and kept the room clean and stocked.

Port Reviews

Cozumel

Pushy sales folks, but plenty of shopping, food and entertainment.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

This place was cool, but we didn't have enough time to spend here on our tour. We did send "postcards from Hell" though.....

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

We booked the Land and Sea tour through Royal Caribbean and our guide was a wealth of information about the Island and Island life. His name was Lennox.
