Review summary

Nice ship even though 2001. I particularly loved the salt water pool as it is fully enclosed on all sides with a huge glass top and it blocks out all the other noise on teh ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The extra cost dining in their upscale "Normandie Restaurant" for $35/pp is close to a 6/6...elegant place and service and excellent food.

Nice size inside stateroom and shower.

Ports of call

Castries, St. Lucia

3 out of 5

St. Lucia is beautiful, but difficult to see all due to massively winding roands up and down volanic peaks. We drove the island which is a great way vs a tour. But it is a lot of driving.

Don't Miss: Must see is Marigot Beach...stunning gorgeous but hard to get to without a car.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5

Haven't been there in 27 years. It is truly beautiful with history and a top beach (Magen Beach) and nice drive around island. This is now one of best in E Caribbean to visit. Also good shopping but not much different in this than other islands.

Don't Miss: Magen Beach

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

1 out of 5

This island has St. Maarten (Dutch) and St. Martin (French). The Dutch side is not much of anything although some like shopping there. The French side is better and has the best beaches. I highly recommend "Orient Beach" on NW side. Just S of there is a more protected and very private beach with less waves.

Didn't see a lot due to time. But an impressive in history from which teh US Carolinas were populated as well as Pananma.
