We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and we wanted to try another cruise line (already tried Carnival and Celebrity). I chose very good instead of excellent because we still like Celebrity the best. Every single port was great with Aruba being our absolute favorite from any cruise. This ship had the best port shopping of any we have seen. Juan was fantastic in helping our 14 year old son find a Bulova watch at a decent price. Juan also did an excellent job of keeping my husband and son from going into some unsavory stores in St. Kitts. Who would have that a 14 year old boy would say port shopping was the highlight to his 1st cruise experience. We were amazed at all the activities they have scheduled for children of all ages. We have already initiated planning of an Alaskan cruise through Royal Caribbean with all of our children.
