Review summary

This cruise was another good one. As usual I picked up a few pounds with all the good eats. Now I have to find a way to burn off the calories when I get home. Cabin steward Sue was fantastic. Dining room staff was new and they were a little slow in delivering after taking your order. Got a few orders wrong during dining. Nothing beats out to sea cruise days and relaxing on the lido deck. Had a big group but met plenty of nice people on the cruise. 4 straight days on islands is a challenge though.

Group had problem with tour guide Angel. Rushed through the trip and gave them less time for their money. Because of the troubling conditions because of the hurricane last year, being pressed for money. Our guide was Modesto and he was very good. But Angel rushed through his tour. Have to send an email on the poor job by Angel.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

My favorite island. Sunset beach fantastic. Been here before but finally was able to stop and spend time there. This tour always goes by too fast. Ready to go back now. Watching those planes land over the beach is an incredible sight.
