Review summary

I liked that the length of the cruise was rather quite relaxing for us.. we were able to enjoy those days at sea just relaxing and the 6 days in land was very good.. we were able to go sight seeing to see the beautiful parts of the island and know of it's history.. the beaches were beautiful.. the walk to the town was quite interesting... we particularly loved St. Kitts for it's historical sites and landmarks - we truly loved it.. we managed to get tour guides from the island itself along with other couples - it's more reasonable in price that way as oppose to the price you have to pay inside the ship..  the shows were ok - nothing I really cared for..  my timing was excellent esp. with the waiter 'Melonia' or something like that, she and her crew were very attentive to our tables - excellent job.. on the last day of the cruise there 'was a carnival' but most of the passengers were unable to enjoy it since it was blocked by some vendors selling watches, etc. in the center of the event..  other than that what the cruise had to offer was very good.. we've enjoyed it..   as far as the ship itself I noticed that it was quite clean and everyone was nice and friendly which includes all waiters, serves, etc..

Entertainment

did not quite like the three main shows - although the singers did a great job the theme did not make sense - no story.. we loved however, the Ventriloquist..

Children's Programs

we noticed a group of children having a parade so I would say they must have a great children's program

the cabin was kept clean and we loved the animals made out of towels - very cute.. the cleaning guy was very friendly and did his job quite well.. although there was a slight concern which is that the toilet did not have a clean smell to it and that concerned me a little bit.. virtual balcony tour was quite interesting.. you get to see what's actually out there without being in an actual balcony..

Ship tip

book your shows and dinning in advance in order to avoid waiting.. also, although you have reservations for your shows it's advisable to go 1/2 hr. early for the lines gets full pretty fast.. and if you are lucky you'll be able to enter to get a good seat..

this place was a little too scary for us for we were advised in advance to hide all expensive jewelry for the young locals will snatch it off your neck..
