Review summary

Overall, I really enjoyed this 7 night/8 day cruise!

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Somewhat chaotic and unorganized to drop off bags and then check-in. Once we got on the ship it was smooth sailing! I did not like the fact that that a third party was hired to handle the luggage and they almost demanded that you give a tip (not good RC).

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5

Had a wonderful time at this port. Took an excursion to the neighboring island of Nevis by way of a catamaran. Once we reached Nevis, we received a personal tour of the island, plantation and ended with lunch (that was included) and 1 1/2 hours to relax on the beach!

Willemstad, Curacao

3 out of 5

The taxi's charged a lot of money ($50+) to take you from the pier to local destinations (i.e., Curacao Liqueur Factory, Mambo beach, etc.) . We visited the Curacao Distillery and sampled their selections; the tour was okay. However, this port would not be at the top of my list to visit again.

Oranjestad, Aruba Did not visit port

Due to weather concerns we were not able to visit. However, I wish that the captain would have found an alternative port for us to visit.
