The Royal Promenade and a great place to sit and relax with a cold drink.

My wife and I (both in our mid 50s) sailed out for three days following a week in West Palm to burn some vacation time before the end of the year. This was our 9th cruise with RC. We rented a car and drove to Port Canaveral, the port was easy to navigate and the Enterprise people shuttled us to the main door in just a few minutes. We arrived at 11:30 am and once past the scanners and in the terminal we were asked for our set sail passes and then ushered right onto the ship. No waiting at a counter, no lines, just happy faces from the staff. It couldn't possibly have been any faster or easier. The port was clean and well organized and there were RC employees strategically placed to keep the process moving.

Because this was a three day cruise we chose an ocean view cabin on deck two, we normally like a balcony cabin on decks seven or eight. Our cabin was 2646 and was most of the way aft. At night there was a very low hum from the engines, I have to admit that it was just enough help me sleep. The cabin was clean and in excellent shape, it looked like new from carpet to curtains. I can't think of a negative thing to say about it. Our cabin attendant (I've unfortunately forgotten his name) was great and took care of everything.

The ship itself looked like it was brand new, not a scuff mark, smudge or ding anywhere. I didn't get any pool time in but they were clean. I managed a little hot tub time and we watched a movie at the same time.

Ocean View

The cabin was perfect, there's nothing negative I can say about it. It was clean and ready for us when we arrived. I noticed a very slight hum from the engines but nothing that was audible. It made sleeping a little easier for me.

Distilleries and vineyard tour,

Perfect Day at CocoCay

Great place with lots to do. Get off right away and grab a lounge chair for the day or else you won't get one.
