Review summary

The only thing that I would like to see improved is for them to make it a little more easier for people with limited mobility after they leave ship to get to busses. It always seem to be a 1/2 mile or longer to get to where we can board a bus or what ever. A lot of walking. We also had to walk down 5 levels the first day following our tour guide to exit ship where she will direct us on where to go for our shore excursions.

Embarkation

Didn't know what to expect but it was nice that they took care of our luggage and put it next to our stateroom that evening

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
Really didn't see Puerto Rico except for the ride from airport and back. Didn't have time to explore this port.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
Port was good and the shore excursion was a catamaran trip to St John island with snorkel was fantastic. The captain Val and her crew of the flying dolphin was top notched.

Bridgetown, Barbados

4 out of 5
Port was good and we took a trip to Harrision Cave which was very good and educational and worth the expense.

Castries, St. Lucia

4 out of 5
Port was good and we did some shopping there.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

4 out of 5
Port was good and we took a Rail and Bus trip around island. If you go on this trip make sure you sit on the train with your back to the ocean or you will miss a lot of what the tour director with explain while traveling.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
The Island still has a lot of damage from recent Hurricane but our shore excursion was ok with a beach and lunch at a nice beach with all the rum punch you want.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
They really know how to make disembarkation easy. They took all our luggage off ship for us and had the where it was very easy to locate.

Which deck is the comedy shows on. Or r they in the main lounge/ theater?

They usually announce that if anyone is limited in mobility to let them know and they’ll take you down the elevator. They did that on the last cruise we took and I did it because stairs are hard on my arthritic knees.
