We have cruised to the Eastern and Western Caribbean and wanted to travel to the Southern Islands. Awesome!
Departed from Chicago and sailed from San Juan. This is our 2nd cruise with Royal Caribbean and have nothing but good things to say about it. It was a wonderful experience from the time we boarded. Boarding and off boarding went very smooth and quickly. The ship is amazing top to bottom. We recommend taking advantage of the excursions offered by Royal Caribbean. We really enjoyed the ALL Access beyond the scenes tour of the ship. The food quality and availability practically all the time is excellent. The customer service provided by the ship crew is unbelievable. From the Captain on down to the lowest ranking member of the ship's team, one can tell that they really want everyone to have the best experience possible. One can take advantage of many activities going on, on and off the ship or simply relax by the pools. Great entertainment is offered in the evenings as well.
We would like to do this itinerary again with our grown children and family.
Plenty of room with very comfortable bed. Balcony has a round table and two chairs. Large closet with plenty of hangers and a dresser with mirrors and more storage space. Mini-fridge and vault as well. TV included, but it won't get much use, other than learning what is going on onboard along with the detailed daily Cruise Compass.
Enjoyable and informative. Stopped at a French bakery and had the best sweets and coffee. After the tour, went back to the ship and took a taxi to Orient Beach. This is our 2nd time to St. Maarten and hope to go back soon.
