We found this cruise to be relaxing for a variety of reasons...our request for a two person table in a quiet dining room spot was honored, we enjoyed locating quiet beach resorts with day pass optionsfor the hotel and beach and we never felt a huge presence of a full ship.
We only took one cruise shore excursion for a cruise to the Pitons and this was good experience.
This was our 4th cruise on Royal and by far the best service we have ever had from the cabin attendant and most importantly the dining service staff was an incredible. Every night we appreciated the waiter recommendations on menu choices and the service that followed. We saw more interest in providing great service from many on the ship. I believe this would cause me to rebook with Royal in the future.
Cabin is due for updating. The couch looked faded and cushions were worn. We enjoyed the quietness of being toward the rear of the ship.
Enjoyed the quick boarding process in San Juan
We enjoyed a day pass at Hilton Barbados and this was a great way to spend the day by the pool and ocean.
Enjoyed the cruise to snorkeling and seeing the island
We enjoyed a day pass at the Jolly Beach Resort to have lunch by the pool and lounge.
We spent time shopping In Philipsburg and specifically Grand Jewelers .... related to the location on St.Thomas and just as good on St Maarten.
We had a relaxing day at Sandcastles Resort for another realxing day by the pool and beach.
