This was our first cruise and we were a little anxious about it. But it was great! We had a nice balcony room. Staff were friendly, professional and helpful. Excursions were great. We will definitely go on another cruise.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The pool and hot tubs were good. There was good music at pool side. 1st night comedian was just okay. Not drinkers or gamblers so wasn't impressed with the bars and casino. Never did see shops. What floor were they on? Fitness centers? Please! I'm on vacation! Wish there had been more activities for non-drinkers/non-gamblers.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Like I said in last note, comedian was just okay. Group performing by pool was good.

Did a tour upon disembarkation. Driver was personable and knowledgeable and attentive to his passengers.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

The activity we did was great and the beach was great but the traffic and roads there were horrendous! The transportation to and from was horrible (didn't purchase from cruise line). The transportation issue here was the only negative experience of our whole cruise.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

4 out of 5
Nice island. Fun activity (ATV). Beach was disappointing. Rocky bottom, hard to get into the water. Sand seemed dirty.

St. John's, Antigua

4 out of 5
Did an SUV tour which we enjoyed. Beach was very nice. Could have stayed there all day!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had not planned an activity for after disembarkation, nor airport transport so we were feeling a little anxious. Especially since we had 6 hours until our plane left. But the porter who helped us with our luggage set us up with a tour bus which held our luggage and gave us a nice tour, then dropped us off in old town for a while, then picked us back up and took us to the airport. Thanks to that porter! Wish I remembered his name!
