Review summary

Amazing cruise... 8 days was a bit long, maybe if 1st 2 days were at sea, then 2 ports, then day at sea and then next 2 days at port and then 1 last day at sea would make it a little better. Disembarkation was frustrating and long.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was good, never ate in the main dining room. Guys burgers and fries is amazing, ate the for lunch numerous times.. Have you ever considered trying to get a deal with chick-fil-a to get a restaurant on board?

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Junior our steward was amazing, he introduced himself immediately once we got on board, every day he greeted us by name and always with a smile. Mikey the cruise director is another amazing staff member. He kept everyone informed and involved in activities and entertainment the entire cruise. No script, just great at what he does.

We left and returned to this port. If you are carrying off your on bags, I would recommend getting a porter to assist you

Be prepared to be bombarded by the people offering take you on a tour. IF you're looking to shop there's a Polo. Marshalls or you can take a taxi to the mall.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

The jerk house here has amazing food. If you are looking for tobacco, alcohol or jewelry this is the port. There is also a casino on this island

Where did you eat dinner? Just curious, I know that they have a ton of options. When we were on this ship we never had a chance to eat at the buffet for lunch or dinner (only breakfast and the late night snack buffet). I loved that they have so many options. I wish I could’ve tried everything, but I will be back. 🙂
