It provided 4 ports that we had never seen before (Ponce, PR - Barbados - Antigua & Granada) as well as two of our favorites ports (St. Kitts & St. Lucia). We especially love to sail on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. They provide very fine cuisine and service. We usually eat in the dining room for most of our meals and prefer to dress for dinner. This cruise has two formal nights but no the jacket and tie nights which tends to make us feel out of place in our suits. RCCI always has the most polite staff and crew. They always have a good day or something as you pass them. While the ship is not one of the newest in the line it is well maintained and clean. We had smooth sailing and wonderful weather all throughout the 12 days of the cruise and I am sure that this was due to the wonderful experience of our able CAPTAIN.
