We've cruised 20+ times, maybe 8 times with RCL. We chose this big ship because of the Caribbean ports on the itinerary, because we found a 'deal' on the price and because we wanted to check out this giant marvel of a ship with every sort of bell and whistle: bumper cars, rock climbing wall, iFly [skydiving tube], NorthStar [elevated look out] etc.

The ship is beautiful. The ports, particularly St Kitts, were lovely: we highly recommend the St Kitts Catamaran Sail and Snorkel with the crew of the Eagle, a sail and power catamaran with a hull built locally. We booked this thru the ship, prior to boarding. Smaller boat, without the over the top party boat atmosphere and hundreds of people: only about 25 of us were on board, the guys were safe, fun, friendly and professional.

Our cabin attendant [Patrick, deck 11] was very good, friendly and professional and was able to get new batteries for the tv remote when it stopped working. Also our waiters, Katut and Ikatut were lovely young guys, very good waiters and just really nice people. Our Head Waiter was gracious and made every possible effort to ensure I was able to eat safely despite my food allergies. Thank you, guys. Read more
