6,680 guests. I had no idea it was that BIG. I would have guessed around 5,000 tops. I suppose it's a lot like airplanes where they keep shoving more rows of seats into them obliterating any leg room that people might have had. Why operate two ships when you can put everyone into just one? But, I'm glad RC is committed to St. Maarten. Nearly all of their Eastern Caribbean and Southern Caribbean voyages make port in SXM, and that's a good thing. Next March they have a very interesting cruise departing San Juan, P.R. that will cover the the three 'ABC' islands (Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao) with extended ports-of-call into the evening hours at two of those locations. Then, the ship heads north to St. Maarten for it's final stop before returning to Puerto Rico. What a great way to explore the islands that represent the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
