Ship Quality

It was extremely clean and well presented throughout the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was perfect for us - enough room to move around and very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and the storage space for clothes and cases very good.

Ship tip

Take advantage of every opportunity offered to you - you’ll get the maximum out of your cruise that way.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
The port was extremely well organised. We did not have time to do an excursion.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Just a wee private island but it was a lovely start to the holiday and the BBQ on the beach was great.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
It is full of jewellery shops but great to walk around and we enjoyed wandering through other parts of the town a bit more off the shopping area. We went on the skyline which gave good views.

St. John's, Antigua

4 out of 5
The beaches here were stunning. We did a walking tour and it was very interesting and informative.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
We liked Barbados very much and did a bus tour of a lot of the island - we would advise people to do this as it lets you see so much more than the port area.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
St Lucia is a lovely island. Again we took a bus tour and it was really worth it for the views. Would definitely want to revisit this island.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
St Kitts surprised us as it was much prettier than we had imagined. We visited a colonial house with a beautiful garden then a bus tour which took us to a super vantage point where we could see the Atlantic and Caribbean at the same time.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Once again very smoothly organised.
