Review summary

As a young family traveling with 2 children under the age of 5, I thought that the cruise was very adequate in its offerings. However, I would only reccomend this cruise ship / line to anyone that is traveling with older children or young adults.

Ports of call

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
everything is a must see, try to stay clear of the center of town, very congested.
Don't Miss: Fortress Tour

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
If your ship is only there for a few hours, don't waste your time disembarking, just enjoy the forts and old town from your ship.
Don't Miss: shopping

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
We really didn't get a chance to expolore the island due to a very late arrival.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We skipped the whole island and went straight over to St. John, and had a fantastic time snorkeling and riding the ferry over.
Don't Miss: Going to St. John

Roseau, Dominica

5 out of 5
Loved the rainforest tram tour, our guide and driver Solomon went above and beyond to give us a great experience on the island.
Don't Miss: Getting up into the rainforest, period.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
We rented a car and went exploring on our own. Beautiful island with perfect beaches, Mullens Beach was great with a nice little snack stand and toilets. Plus there were plenty of watersport activites to choose from, right on the beach.
Don't Miss: Renting a car and going around on your own
