Review summary

This was our first cruise and it exceeded our expectations. The stateroom was comfortable, roomy and clean. We loved having a balcony and the views of the ocean sunsets. Our ships offered anytime dining which we found great because we were not locked into specific seating times, and were also able to dine with different people each time, which was fun. The Horizon Court and Cafe Carribe buffets had a generous variety of delicious food with different themes each night. We also loved the movies under the stars, and the variety of evening shows. The ship offered so many great activities and choices for nightlife we couldn't do it all! The cabin steward and in fact the entire crew treated us like royalty. We cant wait to sail Princess again!

The gondola ride to Paradise Point overlooking the harbor was a treat not to be missed. Lunch at Gladys Restaurant was quaint. Megans Bay is a must-see. Some of the shopkeepers were too aggressive.
Don't Miss: Megans Bay

The best activity was a taxi tour of the island where we also toured the French side. Taloula Mango's was an entertaining place for lunch.
Don't Miss: A visit to Marigot the capital of the French side.
