Great review, Jan - thank you! We debate and debate about trying NCL....I think what would entice us would be a unique itinerary at a great price.......maybe I will start paying a little more attention to what they offer. And when I do I will check with you on the better ships since you have experienced quite a few of them. Glad that you had a nice cruise with your niece - always good to get away!

I finally got around to reading your review, Andi - thanks for sharing! I think your right in that Royal’s “smaller” large ships seem to be taking a back seat to the Allure, Symphony, and all the new mega ships n the pipeline, which is regrettable. I’m glad to read about the advances in quality of the food. That was probably my only complaint about the Brilliance a few years ago, though I did like the food station setup. I have yet to go to San Juan, but hope to someday in the near future. My heart aches for their hurricane destruction, as it does for St. Maarten. The cruise port was definitely a priority in the rebuilding process for both, and and hotels and resorts in St. Martin/St. Maarten are slowly coming back, but a lot of work still needs to be done. I’m glad to hear you made a “contribution”.? I have not heard of “Yoda Man”, but will definitely look him up next time in the island, as there many Star Wars fans in my family, including my grandson, Alex. He’ll be turning 6 tomorrow, and the first thing he wants for his birthday is to finally see the movie!
