Cabins

We enjoy an ocean view balcony when possible.  However, the Central Park balcony provides a good alternative for a lower price.  We prefer to choose our own cabin, and we also avoid the noisier Boardwalk balcony when possible.

Entertainment

There’s a lot to see, and three non-port days to enjoy several performances.  Port days end no later than 5pm, so energetic folks still have time to enjoy a show or a variety of music each day, port or not.  (Pace yourselves!)

Ports - February 2025

• Coco Cay (Royal Caribbean private island)
• Falmouth, Jamaica
• Labadee, Haiti (A Royal Caribbean private island); port stops suspended in late 2025

Photos - first is not a port - just a nice evening shot in Central Park; followed by Jamaica (2) and Haiti

Ports - March 2026

• Nassau - it’s a crowded port, but needs to be explored once; RC now offers a special, private island, but at a price (expect prices to come down, as RC determines what the market will bear and begins to offer alternative packages; from observation and conversation, I’ve learned that the 20- and 30-something’s love the experience of the island, and don’t need to do a cost-benefit analysis.
• San Juan, Puerto Rico - we’ve visited San Juan a few times and just take the opportunity to stretch our legs and re-supply at the local Walgreens, directly off the port (no photos here).
• Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic (provides a close-in shopping area, and an outside-the-gate experience; if the weather is good, we venture out:  walk past the somewhat aggressive tour providers (just trying to make a buck), and walk 15 minutes to the action on your own.  (Walking tour guides and taxis are also available.). There is plenty of shopping and a lovely umbrella street, with food and libation available.  The presence of security throughout the area, even to help with crossing the busy streets, makes us feel safe.  It’s not a problem to repeat “No thank you” to the dozens of shopkeepers who suggest you “lookie-lookie,” i.e., unless you want to lookie.
