Size was on the small size, but extremely clean and centrally located

Ship tip

Bring your own snorkeling gear. When you find a bar you like, learn the bartenders names and they will give beyond excellent service.

Great place to shop! Bought 2 Diving watches.

Castries, St. Lucia Did not visit port

Super disappointed. St. Lucia was the island we were looking forward to the most. I guess there was a Covid issue and wouldn't let us dock.

Bridgetown, Barbados

We did a ship excursion because the said we had to because of Covid. But when we got there it was wide open. The beach we went to was pretty but I would have rather gone to a better, less crowded beach. Also we had to be back on the ship at 4pm... Way to short for all the things to do on Barbados.

Basseterre, St. Kitts
