Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

This cabin doesn’t have a couch and there is not a counter in the bathroom. However, I think this is the standard on this smaller ship.

Ports of call

Basseterre, St. Kitts

4 out of 5

These were the most aggressive vendors on any of the islands. Beware of the guys with monkeys. They will walk right up to you and put the monkey on you. After you take pics with the monkey they will try to charge $20! I said no, we didn’t agree to pay you that. My husband, who is nicer than me, gave the guy $15. I will say the shops right at the port had the most reasonable prices of all the islands. T shirts are 3 for $20, ball caps were $4 and bucket hats were $6.

Thumbs Up 2

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Very friendly. You can get off the ship and take a water taxi into downtown. There is a beach there and shopping. Beach chairs were 2 chairs and umbrella plus 4 free drinks for $25!
