Review summary

The Carnival Destiny was built in 1996. In the cruise ship world, it is considered to be old. However, the ship does not look old. It is clean and offers a walth of amenities. I was very impressed by all of the different activities that the ship offers. I never felt bored on the ship.

Ports of call

Bridgetown, Barbados

3 out of 5
Barbados has an old town colonial feel to it. There are a lot of churches and historic buildings in Bridgetown. The beaches in Barbados are beautiful and inviting. While in Barbados, be sure to sample food from a local Chefette's restaurant! Be sure to visit the new cricket stadium in Bridgetown, too. It's a short walk from the cruise ship terminal.

Don't Miss: surfing at Batheba beach

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

3 out of 5
St. Thomas has a lot of places to shop! Havenside Docks had great places to buy gold and diamonds. Liquor was also cheap here. Black Beard and Blue Beard's castles weren't as interesting as I thought. The skyride up to Paradise Point provided breathtaking views of the entire St. Thomas/ St. John's area.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
Antigua is going through a huge Renaissance. Everywhere you look, they are building new buildings and improving old ones. The beahces are beautiful. The sugar plantations provide a lot of history and insight into the slave trade. The dockyards were also interesting because they showed how boats are constructed.

Roseau, Dominica

3 out of 5
Dominica is a very poor island, but the people there are wondeful! They are more than thrilled to show you around their island paradise and tell you about its history. Dominica is home to beautiful waterfalls amd towering mountains.

Castries, St. Lucia

3 out of 5
St. Lucia is similar to Dominica. It has a lot of mountains and volcanos. To see the entire island, be prepared to endure hours of winding mountain roads. The volcano there is interesting. This island allows for beautiful photography.
