Background information
This was my 25th cruise overall, 11th with Royal, and first at Diamond level. I traveled with a friend of mine who has cruised several times. We are in our late 30s and active cruisers.
Travel to embarkation port
We found a few pieces of debris in the cabin on embarkation day, but otherwise found the cabin to be very clean. There were no strange noises heard while in the room... it was very quiet. We liked the location of the room.
Not my favorite port and not enough time here to do a lot.
Easy location from airport.
Visit Emerald Beach if you want a quiet, close beach.
Hike to Guana Bay Point if you are feeling adventurous. Beach/town is also very nice.
