Nassau:
When we woke up we noticed that our cruise itinerary was altered from CocoCay to Nassau Bahamas. So we quickly ate breakfast at the windjammer and decided to hit the ports. Nassau was ok. Overall it was my least favorite port due to crime and annoying residents who are always trying to ask you to buy something. The nicest place to go in Nassau is paradise island since the overall Island is dangerous. So we payed a taxi to take us from Nassau over to paradise island for 15.00 for our family of 6 one way. The beach was beautiful and the UV index was very high! We jet skied on this beach and then headed back to the ship in 3 hours because of the warm weather. That night we went to the dining room and got to see a parade in the Royal Promenade. The parade featured all the DreamWorks characters and it was very very nice and organized(I didnt like though that the parade was at 11pm but the parade is done the last night at 4pm). The shows were not that bad and the comedians were very funny. My favorite show was Marquee and it was the best show I ever saw on a cruise ship. The ice show... there is a lot of rave about it but I didnt like it that much but my family did. Finally we went to sleep that night after the 10 pm show.

St. Thomas:
This was the second time of us being in St. Thomas but it always changes. We were originally going to trunks bay in St. John but its way to over priced to get their for our family so we decided to take a taxi to Megans Bay. Megans Bay was a little crowded and not much to do their. It looks very tropical though and its your typical Eastern Caribbean palm tress type of beach. We decided to leave after spending about 2 hours cause it became boring after a while. We then returned to the ship and had lunch in the Sorrentos pizza place (The pizza reminds me of the red barron pizza). Every night in the promenade I would go down to the Cafe and have a coffee and a brownie. The pastries are free and addicting. The windjammer's fries were also very addicting. This night we saw our first comedian on FOS and he was very funny. Also the pit orchestra was amazing better then any cruise line and they always did a little intro before the show which was very cute. Our cruise director was James Andrews a man from Australia who didnt really like. He seemed very nice but a little boring and we never got to see him that much surprisingly.

St. Maarten:
Our favorite port. When you walk off the ship there is a water taxi that will take you to the beach for only 3 $ PP. The beach is very nice and has a little boardwalk so you can shop when you get tired or bored. The beach has little trampolines in which you can jump on. The beach also has a lot of sellers trying to sell you cute stuffed animal monkeys. This port was beautiful inside and out. Everything left me speechless. Everything was also very low priced here. For instance a beer may cost you 2.00$ the most. The islanders were very nice and helpful too. On the way back we took the water taxi back for 2$ PP. We stayed in this port at least 6 hours.

St. Maarten

Best room, very spacious, luxury, amazing balcony, aft view is beautiful

I would defiantly travel back on Royal any day its my new favorite cruise line and I will be defiantly be sailing and meeting freedom again in the nearWhich I found very nice of Royal is that no-one was allowed to enter there stateroom till 3 too make sure the staterooms were clean which I really liked.
