it was a great 14 day cruise. great stops, great food and service, so i highly recommend this cruise. the real only negative things i can say is antiquated bathroom shower and no privacy on the balcony.

5 out of 5
aft pool had stairs to enter pool and with my severe bad back it was wonderful. also very convenient, restaurant, bar, fresh towels and poolside waiter service with table and chairs right there. also, in the explorer lounge, which we visited every night, had probably the best band ever at see, blue haze, was absolutely awesome. they played several great games in that lounge. also, some of the main shows were streamed into the lounge which was an awesome idea.

waiters were excellent, all over ship and friendly. room steward however, was not satisfactory. all other personnel was friendly, helpful, made you feel welcome.
Ship Quality

as always, it take a day or two to get your bearings, lol, but it was very good.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
room very small for balcony room but the balcony was larger than usual. design of ship with balconies was terrible. we had no privacy as the balcony above us looked right down with obstruction and the balcony below us had no privacy from us. not sure what they were thinking building balconies with no privacy. other than that, room did have a large closet but the bathroom shower is horrible. its the antiquated small curtain shower and a fixed shower head. they spent alot of money to update the ship but they forgot the bathrooms.
very clean, plenty of chairs, life guards, just a wonderful place. one thing i will say negative. you are told you need no cash as you can buy souveniers with your ship card. well, princess has gift shops to use your cards but the poor natives also have shops and they only take cash. i felt bad we couldnt buy from them. princess sets you up to buy from princess only which is totally unfair to native vendors. bring cash with you and get better deals. support the natives, as princess should be shameful for doing them so wrong.
nice place to visit. we didnt have time to get to nevis but hope next trip we get there. took a tour, but went outside port area as tours are 1/2 the price then offered on ship.
one of our favorite islands. if you want a good beach, take cab to "boat yard beach". I think the cab is $5.00 to get there, its short ride. I believe its $20.00 to get onto beach but that includes chair, umbrella, free drink and free cab ride back to ship. Its an awesome beach, clean, easy to walk in, no big drops, great restaurant on beach that is open type, great bar, free wifi, clean bathrooms, showers outside, just an awesome place. Hint, its where the crew members go so you know its great. Well worth every penny. they do have a small gift shop also. love this beach. been there several times.
been here several times. didnt take tour this time. walked all around town. friendly people and just a great place to take a walk thru old fort and into town crossing the bridge that turns to let boats go by. real cool to see. we did take a tour one other time there. go thru fort and you will see an old school bus that looks like an old hippie bus with no windows. it looks like, hell no, but we went and it was great. bring swim suit cause they stop at awesome beach and gives you some beach and shopping time.
took bus tour. it was a great tour. the island is beautiful. the last time there we went to beach and found you just needed to go a few yards and water drops off deep real quick. not a fun thing for me.
