My wife and I like getting the history of the Caribbean. So visiting the islands and taking the tours is a wonderful way to get the history. We are committed to Royal Caribbean. We don't think you can get a better deal, or quality cruise line for your money. Serenade is laid out very well to get around on. We had an ocean view cabin, and loved the available storage, and view. We just booked our next cruise on Serenade to the Southern Caribbean, and got the same room. The shows were the best we've had cruising so far. We dinned in the main dinning room, and the Windjammer and the food was very good. Always very good choices to chose from. The shore excursions at each port were through Royal Caribbean and were very informative, and very reasonable. Absolutely NO complaints with the service on Serenade. Got to know many of the staff we came in contact with personally. GREAT service!
