Review summary

The plan was for 5 sea days, 2 on the way down then 3 on the way home. In fact, because this f missing Antigua, we had 6 sea days. To me, this is the best part of cruising. You have time to really explore the ship and enjoy doing whatever you want without having to rush for an excursion or all aboard deadline.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Loved the dining room and the Windjammer. Both service and food were excellent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lot's available, but I only used the track. A bit of disappointment when wind and weather made it he track unusable, but found it interesting walking the hallways floor by floor.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All the entertainment was great. It's one of the reasons we love cruising so much. Special shout out to the best comedian we've seen on a ship: Billy Garan.

No excursion. Let be getting off and walking around the seawall. Saw the ferral cat sanctuary area and then walking through the old Fort.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
No excursion. Took a taxi to Divya Little Bay for a beach day. Very good.

St. John's, Antigua Did not visit port

High winds made it impossible to get through the channel into the port.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
Did a catamaran tour for both beach and snorkelling. Wouldn't recommend the tour, but loved the port.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Did a jeep tour of the rain forest with fantastic views of the whole island. Tour was great. I'd recommend it to everyone.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Wonderful. Facial recognition allowed us to literally just walk off the ship to the parking lot.

Would love a 7 or 8 day cruise with only one or two ports. Love sitting on balcony or back of ship in serenity area and just watching the water go by. Just so relaxing.
