Sail Date: Apr 2017
Cabin: Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

This was a very enjoyable itinerary, combining both Caribbean and transatlantic cruising. The ports were all interesting, we didn't take the ship tours but were easily able to do our own exploration. The ship is in very good condition even though its due for a refurbishment later this year. Our stateroom was spacious and our attendant was excellent.

The food was of a good standard both in the dining room and in Windjammers. The entertainment was also of a very good standard, although not always to our taste. The outstanding shows for us were the two Ice shows, and the fantastic pianist Brooks.

Service was the usual excellent standard we are used to on RCL, (we have now completed 20+ cruises on 4 different cruise lines.)

Cabin Review

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin E1

We were pleased with this stateroom, it seems to have been recently upgraded, the balcony was large, there was plenty of storage and our attendant was fantastic.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

We spent a few days here before embarking, it is a pleasant place, easy to get around.

Labadee

We enjoyed our time here wandering around and soaking up the sun and sea.

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

We took a local taxi tour around the island with 7 others in a mini van and felt we saw a lot of different aspects of this small country.

St. Maarten

It was easy to walk in to the town, which boasted a lovely beach, we were not interested in the shopping.

San Juan

We arrived on Easter Sunday and enjoyed walking around listening to local music, browsing markets etc.
