Cacao and coffee plants are grown there, and beneath the soil is said to be the purest amber on earth.

Really enjoyable 5 night cruise. The food was outstanding. Windjammer buffet was amazing. Evening meals in the dining room. Our waiters were wonderful, friendly and helpful. Waiters Francisco and Rohan deserve special mention. 10 out of 10 for their service at table. Will certainly consider Royal Caribbean in the future.

We certainly enjoyed our cruise at a very reasonable price. For a large ship there was plenty of seating and places to relax. We only used the buffet but it was fantastic - choice and quality and we have been on many cruises. Parking and reception was slick and excursions well organised with high quality guides. Staff everywhere on the ship lovely and helpful. Entertainment very good and varied. Cabin with balcony very comfortable but you are not in there long!
