WE cruised on this ship last April,with young teenagers, and had a great time. The teen room wasn't really used, but my kids had a blast playing pick up basketball, swimming, ping pong, inline skating etc. They were never bored, and had the run of the ship in a well behaved way. If they are respectful they have a great rapport with staff and get alot of extra service. For shore excursions, in Cozumel we did Chaukanaab Park, $11.00 per person to get in, and cheap snorkel rentals right off the beach. A cheap taxi ride from town. HUGE iguanas if your kids like wildlife. THey like red flowers but watch your fingers Grand Cayman has stingray city, try to book it on your own to save money. All the excursions in town are safe, we stayed there for a week this summer and got to know the island well. They have a combo snorkel/stingray city deal, and it's really awesome snorkelling. Don't do the cheeseburger reef tour, right in the harbor.

Belize we did the CAve tubing, ok but we heard the snorkelling was much better. Too many people in the cave tubing!

Costa Maya we took a taxi to the little fishing village, feels like Mexico should be! Very relaxing, native crafts, food, beautiful beach.

IF you do your homework, you will have a great time.

Cruise reviews can be extremely helpful to new and experienced cruisers by giving the cruise vacation consumer's view of various RCCL ships and ports. If you've sailed aboard an RCCL ship, we hope you'll write and tell us about it by using our special form here.  Sincere thanks to those who take the time to do this so that others can have the benefit of shared information and experiences.
