Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Port was ok, the excursion company Twin Island excursions were ok. The tour guide Rick was not to friendly, he talked about the island but when he was done his speech he never said a word and seemed annoyed if u asked him a question.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Loved St.Kitts, port was nice . We used Serenity tours and couldn’t have been happier. We went to Pigeon Island which was wonderful. Our tour guide Hans gave us interesting tidbits about the island and stayed with us at the beach. He had a cooler filled with drink and the homemade rum punch and passion fruit drinks were fantastic. If u use Serenity please ask for Hans, he was wonderful.

Castries, St. Lucia

4 out of 5
Port was ok, we did an excursion thru captain sunshine. We were told to be at the meeting place at 8:30 and didn’t see anyone from the company till 9:30. The driver was quite the whole ride and if we asked a question about the island he said he didn’t know the answer.

Bridgetown, Barbados

4 out of 5
Port was ok , we just walked around the shopping center right at the port.

St. John's, Antigua

3 out of 5
As soon as you get off the ship and past the check point there are taxi companies harassing you. When we told them where we were going the said get a group and the would take us. We finally found a driver to take us. We went to Starfish jolly resort, the price of admission got u all the food and drinks for free and use of non motorized water sports. Pool was nice but the ocean was warm and could see the bottom of the ocean floor.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was fast out in about 25 minutes after they called our color.
