Ship Quality

The ship was very clean. The design needs some work. Walking paths are very limited.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

For an extended balcony room, it was very small. Very little room in bathroom to put stuff. Good thing about the back balcony was that it was usually useable when it rained.

Ship tip

Remember this is a very old ship.

We spent a couple of nights before the cruise to tour. A lot to do in this port

This was our favorite stop. You will not find all the commercialized shopping. We did an island tour and loved our guide and their family values.

The excursions didn't appeal to us. We went to the shops right at the port. Very rainy day so we didn't venture outside the port area

Beautiful island and people. Went on a catamaran excursion with horseback riding. The catamaran and snorkeling were excellent. Horseback riding on the island was equivalent to a circus pony ride. We rode at the pace of our guides walking on foot leading the first horse

Did an island tour that was great. The guides were wonderful. Sad to see there is still a lot of damage from hurricane Irma.
