We chose Royal Caribbean's Southern Caribbean itinerary since it included several places we had never been to (Aruba, Curacao and Grand Cayman).

I have to say that what I want to talk about most is our concierge Mangesh (MJ). If we asked him to do something, he made it happen, including a party in our room. We were in room 8001 which was 2 doors down from the bridge. We got to know the Captain (Marek) who we found to be extremely charming - and he is a rocker! (based on his performance with other staff - he did It's My Life by Bon Jovi). He is from Poland, but does not like Polish food! I asked if he could make me some pierogies, but he declined (LOL).

We did go up to the special lounge for suite guests each evening before dinner and it was nice. Not loud as some have said. It has been more than 4 months since this cruise (11/21/15 - 11/30/15), so my recollections may not be perfect. We do remember that Abraham took care of us every evening in the suite lounge and he deserved the generous tip we gave him in the end. Read more
