Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin steward was Jandill. We requested morning service. We usually left the cabin 8ish for breakfast, on the days we would return after breakfast about an hour later to get something we forgot room was already cleaned and towel animal was waiting. In the evening when we would pass him n the hall he would ask if we needed anything. Cabin 1128 is under the Red Frog Pub, some nights were nosier than others
Our excursion Top Ten of St Lucia was a tour which offered a mix of must see attractions. It was a long 6 hour bus ride up & down rough roads. Roseau Valley Banana Plantation was a brief stop, we did not get off the bus but our tour guide did & brought back bananas for everyone. The best banana I ever ate. We drove by Petit Piton on the way to Caribbean’s only drive-in volcano.
Fantastic excursion Island Exploration by Hummer. Stopped for a 20 minute beach break, photo op & to shop. Driving on the left side of the road not as difficult as I thought but that may be due to following behind other “hummers” in the tour.
We took the water taxi to Great Bay Beach. Water taxi round trip was $7. Two beach chairs, umbrella with WiFi $30. Beach & water was great. Getting out of the water was a bit difficult.
The negative were the vendors constantly trying to sell stuff.
Did not spend any time in port area. We did an beach excursion to Smith Bay Beach Park & Eco Reserve. Beach chairs, water, sodas, & rum punch was included
