We chose this cruise because we love Royal Caribbean for its value and service, we wanted to try one of their bigger ships, and we could drive from our home to the port in about 1 hour. Embarkation process was a little tedious because we had 3 staterooms and the person checking us in was very slow. Once on borad, the ship was amazing in every way. It could use some updating of the staterooms, but otherwise excellent. Time available in San Juan was definitely too short, but very adequate in Labadee and St. Marteen. Shore excursion were many and everyone had a great time in all of them. We definitely needed more time to do everything available on the ship! Service was above and beyond. Entertainment and activities on board were for everyone and I even earned some cash playing BINGO! I recommend that you book your shows, spa treatment, and My Time Dining meals when you check in online as far ahead as possible.
