My dad and I took the same voyage in September 2012 which was fantastic. However this time not so much...The ship seemed way over crowded and the quality of the food seemed diminished. What really made this vacation a disappointment was we didn't get to go where we wanted to go. Our original itinerary was Coco Cay Bahamas, St. Thomas Virgin Islands, and then St. Marteen. While at Coco Cay Bahamas, when it was time to leave, we had to wait in line for an hour for a boat to take us to the ship with the hot sun beating down on us. So the we were off to St. Thomas, or so we thought. We were notified that we wouldn't be going to St. Thomas due to an ill crew member and had to divert to Nassau. Why do they have a helipad on a ship???? We were so disappointed. So instead of going to St. Thomas we go to Puerto Rico instead and only spent four hours there. It seemed like we were at sea for days so I got kind of bored. The crew was bragging how they're going to take out the crypt night club and add more state rooms. Which tells me that Royal Caribbean International cares more about money and less about passenger comfort. Also, some mornings it took forever to find a table at the wind jammer café for breakfast. So overall I don't think I'm going to sail with Royal Caribbean anymore. Probably will go back to Carnival and take a shorter cruise or a more private Cruise line.

Cabin Review

Promenade Stateroom

Cabin PR

The cabin was extremely small but the room service attendant was very good. But everything can be heard from the promenade which made it very hard to sleep. The beds were separated and could barely move within the cabin.
