I’ve done it twice. There is very little actual hiking necessary. It is more of a bus ride that takes you directly to 4-5 places (a welcome center/mini-museum, a waterfall, a lookout tower, and a few other stops). You can be as active as you want during the stops, but will not need to anything strenuous. The ground may be uneven and you may have to walk 50-100 feet from the bus to the actual point of interest, but nothing beyond that.  And you can always stay on the bus or in the bus area at any of the stops.

I agree on the major cities.  I would love overnights in several places, San Juan for example.  Why not two days and one night in San Juan, then cruise to the next port overnight.  

To be honest, I think the storyline of Mama Mia ! is the stupidest thing ever.  I can't imagine anything being offensive unless you feel that your child (this is a generic "you" not being directed at anyone) will be emotionally scarred by the idea of a child being raised by a single mother.  There are no obscenities that I can recall and no nudity or direct sexual references.  I wouldn't worry about it, truly.

I have been lucky enough to sail on Royal Caribbean six times now and definitely consider myself Loyal to Royal!
 
Does anyone know of any way to purchase Royal Caribbean merchandise off ship?  On my third cruise I began purchasing those square shot glasses with the pewter logo for each ship I'd been on.  It is a great and reasonably priced memento and I display them proudly, looking forward to the next ship I'll get to go on. The problem is those first two trips I neglected to buy them on.  Is there any way that anyone knows of (outside eBay and the like which I search constantly) to fill in those two missing ships (Adventure and Voyager btw).  Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  [if someone is going on one of those ships in the future, I'd gladly pay the cost of the souvenir, shipping and an on-board drink ; ) ]

I don't blame you for never wanting to trust Royal Caribbean with a future trip, but you deserve to get what you were already put so much planning, anticipation and financial investment into.
I don't know how social media savvy you are (perhaps here is where the teen kids can help) but you can often get a strong response by airing your grievances publicly on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  I'm sure people who are part of this community would help amplify any of those posts with likes, shares, retweets, etc.  This is an injustice and it seems Royal is not stepping up.  Sometimes some negative publicity can nudge them to do the right thing, especially if see think people are watching. Very commonly, large companies like this have entire positions with people who monitor social media who can respond to situations and often have additional powers of quick resolution.  Just a thought...

Oasis was originally called Project Genesis. Quantum class was originally Project Sunshine :)
 
There is a "tribute" to the Genesis name on Oasis: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2015/02/05/secret-behind-the-graffiti-oasis-of-the-seas-royal-promenade
