Any opinions on the Hato Caves? Wondering about a comparison to Harrison Caves in Barbados. Have been to Harrison Caves in Barbados..twice...and loved them.
Seen one cave, seen them all ??

Just back from 12 day repo cruise...Boston to Ft. Lauderdale on Serenade. We are not rookies...14th cruise, 6th time on this repo.
As always, RCCL staff was most accommodating, efficient and friendly...no complaints here!! Have rebooked for next year.
Ship itself needs updating and brightening.
Cruise director CarlyB worked hard to provide varied entertainment..day and night.
Casino staff did a good job, tho not as over-the-top enthusiastic as in the past.
We did not do any specialty dining. My-time dining is our favorite, but still find many guest who do not understand that with "mytime" you still need to schedule a time or expect a short wait if you just "show up".
For the 1st time ever, we did NOT enjoy most of the food...either in the Windjammer or the main dining room! An unofficial survey found many agreeing with us. Overheard a guest on our bus to the airport that of 30+ cruises, this food was the worst. We have no problem with selections outside our comfort zone, but we do expect our choices to be hot, tender and not sodium overload, ...several chicken dishes were dry and beef dishes, tough. Unfortunately, this reflects on the waitstaff, who, I believe, have no control over of the quality of the food. There were fewer "plain" green vegetables, but more mixed with (tomato) sauces of sorts.
Enough belly-aching for now, and still looking forward to repo 2017 !

Anybody have info/opinion on a RCCL excursion ...Champagne/Cat Sail ?
-
well, so much for that ! I just checked out the excursions and did not find horseback riding there this time. :(
-
yes, posted on the St. Maartin page as well. I vaguely recall seeing this listed as a shore excursion for our cruise in November. Have not yet looked back for that site.

Will appreciate any info/opinions on horseback riding in St. Maartin

Would like any info / critique on horseback riding excursion in St. Maartin.

The sailing race was fantastic! A great excursion for sailing enthusiasts. Participate by doing one of the "jobs" on deck, or just go for the ride!

Off the Brilliance on Nov. 7th. 1st time doing "self assist" with our own bulky luggage. (10th cruise) I will certainly do self assist again! I think the key is, however, to get in line ASAP...we were there at 7AM for the scheduled 8-8:15 disembark time. Delays are often caused by customs doing paper work..which I am actually thankful for! (By 7:45 the long line went thru the Pacifica and outside onto the opposite side on deck 5..I think those folks got a bit impatient, perhaps cranky cuz the vaca was over....but they were still off ship ahead of the general "population"!) We felt comfortable taking turns leaving our "spot" to go outside and watch the pier activity, to go to the rest room, to have coffee juice and pastry in the Pacifica, to sit and relax in the Pacifica. I am sure we could have gone to the WJ for more "to-go" food, but didn't want to fight the crowd there. Once off the ship we passed by all the luggage waiting to be claimed and went straight to customs. Much smoother than the inevitable chaos of passengers searching for their belongings...tho it seemed neatly organized by numbers. The only thing some may find to be a downside is that we were required to have "one hand free" to hold on while on the escalator, otherwise we needed to take the elevator down to the terminal...which took several passengers, and luggage, at a time, but obviously not everybody at once!
Just relax for the last hour of your vacation ...pay attention and follow instructions !
Love the intimate size of the ship. Captain and Cruise director were great!

Opinions on tour to Clay Villa please (Royal Caribbean repo cruise Oct. 2015)

Is this a tourist trap/tour or really worth a shore excursion?
-
Repositioning on the Brilliance....Boston to Tampa. Not the first time, but always enjoy this smaller ship. Any upgrades added to it lately? By the way, we have been having difficulty with the RCCL website lately. Getting quite annoyed! Any body else?

We did SNUBA dives once...easy...so thinking of it again. Anybody done so at Pigeon Island Fortress Park, St. Lucia
