Review summary

Awesome cruise! The ship was beautiful, staff was great, weather was wonderful. The captain went above and beyond to find us a port when we had to cancel a port we had to tender at. Appreciated not having an extra sea day!

Castries, St. Lucia

3 out of 5
Not real comfortable with the barrage of excursion and taxi drivers to harass you as you try to leave the port. Went on a resort for a day pass excursion. Shuttle driver was terrifying, drove way too fast

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
Port was nice. Went to Harrison's cave which was awesome!

Fort-De-France, Martinique

4 out of 5
Port was nice with shopping stalls close. Went on island excursion that included shopping and some points of interest. Tour guide was very friendly and helpful. Ac leaked in tour bus all over one side of bus, it was a waterfall

Basseterre, St. Kitts

4 out of 5
Did not do an excursion, only got off for shopping. Had to leave port by 2:30

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Beautiful water and sand. Lawn chairs on beach were way too close to each other. There was no room to even get on chair from the side. Bbq food was cold

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
We got expedited disembarkation and it took a long time to get off the ship because people with later times snuck in. Needed staff to verify people were at right time

Did any of the Caribbean port stops require "tendering"

Totally agree!!! We love the Koningsdam! B.B. Kings, Lincoln Center Stage, and that incredible 270 degree screen in the theater! And the food is excellent!! 🍸
