So, let me preface this review by saying that I am NOT a cruiser. I’m more of a secluded, quiet, adults-only resort type of person. But I have children, and we all need to be happy on vacation, so we decided to take a cruise. We had been on a Disney cruise once before, which my children loved, but we were reluctant to pay that much again, so we decided to try Royal Caribbean. We chose it because it had a lot of options for active families and because their kids clubs are supposed to be good.

With all of that said, here are my top take-always, again from the perspective of a non-cruiser.

1. GET THE SUITE. This is my best piece of advice for anyone who needs a little peace and quiet. We booked the Crown Loft Suite, which was a perfect amount of space for a family of four. Best of all, it came with 24/7 access to the suite lounge, which features its own sit-down restaurant as well as a bar serving complementary drinks and snacks. I probably spent about half of my waking hours in the suite lounge, and it was hardly ever full.

Crown Loft Suite with Balcony

Cabin L1

Loved, loved loved the crown loft suite. It looks like a swanky New York Loft styled by the Westin hotel. Having two bathrooms (one with a tub) made getting ready for the day so much easier. The layout is just perfect. We never felt cramped. The only thing I would change is to maybe take one or two chairs out. There seemed to be too much furniture.

So fun. With the all day pass, we probably rode it a dozen times. Our kids couldnt get enough!!

Cozumel

A laid back beach club with under a hundred people. Excellent value and close to port.
