Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I can't say enough about Godwin and Richard. Our family was very fortunate to have them the entire cruise. They were professional, attentive, courteous and most of all we appreciated the moments they gave to allow us to get to know them as well. We will miss them both.

Ship Quality

We were very impressed that the ship was very well maintained the entire cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

Our room was clean, comfortable with a modern design. Plenty of room for clothes and toiletries. Our room attendant Wendy was amazing. We never lacked for anything and if you needed anything, she was there help. We love that she took a few minutes to put a smile on our face with the towel art. 😊 Service was outstanding.

Stingray swim excursion was awesome! Would have loved to snorkel there a little longer. Loved the craft market. Found a few island made pieces. Wish there was more items handmade from the artisans and less genaric items.

Castries, St. Lucia

Putin and island excursion. Tour guides were great. Plantation was great and informative with demonstrations. Beautiful place. Lunch was at a beautiful restaurant but the food was okay. Shopping we found the usual items. Just wished for island made items to be more readily available.

Bridgetown, Barbados

Harrison cave tour. Quite unique and well maintained. Monkeys close by was fun to watch. Not quite enough time after the cave tour to roam and shop. Ten minutes just isn't enough.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Island tour. Moho beach first stop, an out 10 minutes. Enough to see a plane or two. Nice 40 minute stop at the French market. Not enough time to visit the fort though. Great French cafe for a quick burger and pastry. Last stop 25 minutes at a beautiful beach. Overall nice variety in the tour. More shopping options at this port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Well organized. Lines long through customs but that was expected.

The last couple of comments have been really negative, maybe they were picky eaters?
