Review summary

I can say I enjoyed the cruise except for the bad smelling bed. The dining was great and those who served us. The shows were excellent. The ship is beautiful and windjammer was awesome. They need to minus the St. Kitts stop. There’s nothing to see. The place is rural all over.

The bed had a terrible odor. It was stink on one side had to report it to the attendant. He said he change the bed pad but it was still stink and unpleasant. The size could have been a little bigger. The shower was too small.

Ship tip

Make sure check your bed.

We LOVED St Kitts! (3.5 years ago). Had a great tour with My Islands Tours by Javin. Rain forest, abandoned rum factory, beach, snorkeling and rocky beach climbing. It was one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. As for the bed, that’s terrible. I always take Lysol but I think I would’ve fussed until I got a new mattress if it was that bad.

“Drop St Kitt because Rural all over” - funny how everyone has a different perspective. We prefer as natural as possible, the ship is a floating city already. It’s all good, because there are numerous islands for all.

If you upgrade to a suite bigger shower but all rooms showers are the same size and beds are pretty much same two twins pushed together as a king sorry you had bad time maybe cruising is not for you 🤷🏻‍♀️

RC recently added St Kitts to their itinerary so I doubt it will be changed. The port on that island is fairly new. We did the train island tour & catamaran cruise, then just walked around the port to shop.

I think I've finally bumped into a real bad review. Sorry to hear about your bad luck and shoddy room sanitizing. They should (the crew) have replaced the mattresses immediately!!!!!!!! Do complain and get it righted.
