High dive shows, CATS productions, Ice skating shows, Mamma Mia are just a few things you can expect from Royal Caribbean. When I found my perfect 4-day cruise to Ketchikan I knew I was in for a treat, but really had no expectations. I figured all the top-notch entertainment would be on the bigger and newer ships.

Teenager Marcus gives us his review of Club Med Cancun. Club Med Cancun was an experience that I will never forget. My days were filled with fun, joy, laughter and lots of guacamole.
