An EPIC cruise

Because this ship is so large, it takes time to get somewhere. The casino is smack dab in the middle of the ship, so to get from point A to point B on that floor you have to walk through gagging cigarette smoke!! The acoustics in the staterooms on the ship are not the best. The pay restaurants that we visited were very good. Thankfully there is a quiet area for sunbathing, so you can get away from the noise of the pool deck. We were on the 14th floor and it seemed like the elevator had issues stopping on that floor, we frequently had to take the stairs to another floor to catch an elevator. Escalator wasn't working between the lower floors either.

Cruise tips

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

We again did the free jewelry thing here. We visited the "tented" vendor area, got some goodies there. I think the port shopping is better in Charlotte Amalie. We didn't do any excursions here. It is a very long walk to the downtown area, so we paid for taxis both ways. That was a bit annoying. In the past we were tendered. When you get a taxi, they leave you in the taxi and try to maximize their fare, so you sit there awhile while the taxi drivers try to drum up more business. $4 each way per person.

Nassau, Bahamas

We didn't get in to port until about 11:30am. We did the clear kayak excursion. It was an overcast, windy day. we saw some fish in these double kayaks. I don't think I would do this again. We had the option of snorkeling afterward, but we felt the water was too cold and indeed, we were quite abit more north at this port. We should have snorkeled at the other ports. you know what they say about hind sight

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

A nice port. We did all the get the free jewelry thing -- after we went to Orient Beach. The beach was nice, water was rough and it was a tad windy, but heh, it wasn't the NE of the US. Locals constantly trying to sell you stuff, and I did break down and got a beautiful beach cover :)
