Aft balcony with wake view. Really enjoyed the view. It had plenty of room. Grab a foot stool from the 4th deck and you will have a lounge chair. Room service will bring you coffee and juice and other stuff. Enjoy the ride.

If you have time and you love space, the Kennedy Space Center is a must. My husband and I had a wonderful time there. We went the day before we were supposed to sail, so we had plenty of time to visit.

Beautiful island. You really should get off the ship and walk around. We went in March and the water was still cold, so didn't swim or float on the floaty mat. We did walk around and enjoyed the view.

We booked the St. John Ultimate Island & Nat'l Park Beach Excursion. The only reason I gave it a low rating, was because you just don't have time to enjoy yourself. It takes 45 min. to get to St. John by ferry over a very choppy water. Take your Dramamine. St. John is beautiful. I can't complain, but the bus driver was a bit rude, and there was a whole lot of confusion when you get to Trunk Bay. If you don't want to pay $6 more dollars for a taxi back, then you  stay on the bus and you don't get to enjoy Trunk Bay.I would have liked to have at least spend 15 min. there, but the bus driver wouldn't let you. Anyway maybe I will return someday, and just stay on the island.Until they change this excursion take something else.

One of the best things on St. Maartan besides the beaches, is Maho Beach and the low landing planes. Unfortunately Royal Caribbean does not go there on any of there excursions, so I went with Bernard's Tour. They were a good alternate. We did the Island Tour II. There itinerary was decent. They took you all over the island. The only thing I was not to happy about was the hour and half at Orient Beach. I'm not much of a lay on the beach type, and they were expensive. Better bring cash. We got to spend about an hour at Maho Beach and watch the low flying planes come in. Check it out on you tube. We hung out at the Sunset Bar and Grill. Way worth the money. The bus driver was really nice, and got us back to the ship in plenty of time. The only thing I wasn't to crazy about, was they need bigger buses. It was a tight fit.

I found it very clean, and the crew kept everything running smoothly.We found the embarkation and debarkation easy.
