Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It’s just what we expected so we were fine with it’s size. The mattress was a bit hard and took a few days to get used to.

Ship tip

Pick a room in the back of the ship so you just have to go straight up or down to eat. Preferably a deck or two above your dining room so you can take the stairs.

Ports of call

Willemstad, Curacao

2 out of 5
We took an excursion using “Resort for a day” to the Santa Barbara Beach Resort. It wasn’t worth the money for us. Drinks really good. Salad really good. No fish on the menu. That was a huge disappointment. Pools nice, but calm beach rather small and most beach area way too rough and rocky to swim in at all.

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
Eagle Beach was beautiful but windy so sand does blow around. Two chairs with 1 umbrella $40. It was Labor Day on Aruba so Everything was closed for shopping. Make sure you check before booking cruise. We weren’t told by RC until we got to the port. We decided to take a 2 hour sunset catamaran cruise since we were in port until 11 pm. Loved it. Well worth the 59.00 each

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We took a taxi to So Friar’s Beach. Used a large round whicker chair for 2 and umbrella for $30. Loved everything!

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
St Thomas was celebrating Carnval Day on the Island so everything was closed for shopping. (Our 2nd port with no shopping) Again we weren’t told by RC until we got to the port. Very disappointed in that but we took a boat over to St Johns and spend a few hours on Trunk Bay.. great for snorkeling. Absolutely beautiful!!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy on,easy off! Probably the best ever. RC even found us a cab that accepted credit cards. Make sure to ask if you don’t have the cash!
