The cleanliness of the deck where we sat every morning for breakfast was disgusting. There were hair balls and pieces of trash around and hadn't been cleaned up the whole week we were on the cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

our cabin girl did an excellent job of keeping our room looking great

Ship tip

Don't go!!! It's too small and the itinerary was horrible. The entertainment was very lacking too

I wanted to poke my eyes out after visiting this port. The natives were soooooo pushy and wouldn't let me enjoy my shopping experience there. Also, the cost of the zipline was outrageous for such a short experience. If they would lower the price they they would probably make a lot more money

By the time we got into port, it was already almost dark. Very disappointed we couldn't have gone to the fort and saw more of the sites.

Had to take a taxi into the city to see anything on this island. Not a tourist friendly experience
