Reading some of the other reviews for this cruise makes me wonder if we were all on the same ship? But everyone has their own expectations and I know it's not cool to refer to other reviews, so I'll refrain from doing so.
I've cruised probably a half dozen times, mostly on Carnival and Norwegian. This was my first cruise on Royal Caribbean. I had believed beforehand that Royal was a step up from the other cruise lines, but after cruising them I find them to be the same... no better, no worse.
We had a small group of a dozen or so people, mixed with cruise veterans and first timers. Everyone had a wonderful time. Great memories, and new friendships!
Excellent sightseeing and photo taking tour of the entire island. Tati is informative and a true pleasure to see the island with. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Tampa is a good port city to cruise out of. Would sail out of Tampa again.
