Cabin / Stateroom

Room steward and his assistant surprised me with a birthday greeting card along with a couple of coupons for a free 11 x 9 photo and $50.00 off on spa treatment; a very nice gesture.

Ship tip

Enjoy your time and don't hesitate to ask questions about anything regarding your accommodations, etc. Someone will provide an answer or refer the question/concerns, etc. to the person in-charge.

Grand Turk Island

Take a taxi and explore Main St. Although improvements and maintenance are needed regarding the infrastructure, shops, historical buildings, etc. there is an interesting history to learn from the existing structures. Buy and take home some sea salt to use in your cooking at home.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5

Very busy, but if you take your time and not allow yourself to be distracted by the traffic and loads of tourists visiting St. Thomas, so much can be learned and enjoyed in this former Danish occupied island before the US purchase in 1917.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5

Go beyond the shopping port center and visit the town. Enjoy the history and culture of the place. Spend time talking to the people and experience their sincerity and hospitality.
