We had done Oasis and Allure of the Seas before so we decided to try this newest and boldest ship of RC. We loved entertainments on the ship especially the shows at Aqua theatre. Lots of activities that you can do on sea days such as water slides, zip lining, the Ultimate Abyss slide and rock climbing...The foods overall were very good, and we still had lobster dinner on the second formal night. The ship is very well laid out so we had no problem to navigate around. I love the variety locations that RC offers for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. We could go for quick breakfast at Central Park Cafe where it served sandwiches, bagels, fruit cups....Hot dogs at Boardwalk were yummy and Pizza at Sorrento was always fresh. The only thing that we didn't see was midnight buffet. If you like jogging at sea like me you will love the running track on this ship. It goes around the ship on deck 5 without any obstructions (0.6666km per lap). In general, we had an awesome time on this beautiful ship. Will do it again if the price is right.
Overall condition for the cabin is still nice and roomy for 2 adults
At this last port of call we visited Cockleshell beach, which was very clear and calm, they provided the cheapest for rental of lawn chairs and umbrellas ($15 for one umbrella and two lawn chairs) of the three ports we've visited. Taxi fare was about $6 per person each way.
We decided to visit Paradise beach (next to Cabbage beach) was more quiet and very beautiful (water was crystal clear and clean). However, lawn chairs were $10 each and umbrellas were $20 each, very pricey.. Taxi cab fare was a good rate at $4 per person each way.
At this port we visited Coki beach is a highly recommend, if you love scuba diving with fishes in clear blue ocean water. If you love feeding fishes be sure to bring dog food. Taxi cab fare was about $10 per person each way (most expensive of the three ports we visited).
Pretty nice port to start off and end the cruise. Embarkation and disembarkation were very smooth as well. If you love shopping Sawgrass Mills Premium Outlet is a must for those shoppers that are looking for bargain/deals. Fort Lauderdale beach (on Atlantic Blvd) is also very pleasant for those who are looking for an extra beach day before or after the cruise.
