Comments

We were treated very good as we were our last cruise with RCCL but our port of calls on the last trip were much nicer
than this time. The islands of St. Thomas and St. Martin were great as we rented a jeep in each of these islands and got
to do our own sightseeing and saw all of the islands instead of just a small part as when on a tour. We did do a tour in
Barbados which was 3 hours and we saw a lot of country side and a Plantation house and a very old church and a flower
forest I would advice anyone on this cruise to take that tour. I would advice staying on the ship in Antigua as it was not
clean and a lot more begging than any other island we were on, we also rented a cab and went to the beach that was the
nicest in Antigua and we felt that it was the worest beach that we were at on the whole cruse. The cab drivers were rude
and tried to over charge our group and got mad when we questioned them about the fairs. As for the ship we found it
very comfortable and the food was great at every meal. If we got something that we were not quite happy with our waiter
was right there to correct the error. We enjoyed the couples that dined with us, we had some very good visits with them,
and hope that we have made some new friend for many years to come. The intertanment was very good they put on very
professional shows each evening . The only thing of disappointment was the movie of the cruise that they keep offering for
24.95 it is not worth the money for what you get on the tape and the gift shops should have more things for us
grandparents to be able to buy for our small grandchildren, who are waiting at home for a present and there is not much
to chose from. I would go on RCCL again and would advice anyone else looking into curiseing to go on this crusie line but
to check out the port of calls very closely before deciding on which ship to go on as the RCCL ships all seem to be very
nice.
