Review summary

I enjoyed the cruise a lot, but experienced nothing but rudeness and frustration on the trip to fort de France. The people were rude and unhelpful and they tried to charge much more than was reasonable (for example they tried to get 2 American dollar per euro when the conversion rate is 1 dollar to .9 euros). I also felt like there were some hidden fees on the ship such as service fees. Other than that I loved the staff and the food.

Worst experience ever. Everyone was rude, nothing was in English, and the people tried to rip us off all the time. Nothing was a fair price. Would never go back

We stayed on the ship for martinique.  Could tell from the ship it looked like a crowded, bustling city so we stayed on the Breakaway and had the ship to ourselves.   Rude, expensive..yup sounds french!  No thank you, jene sais pas frenchy fuquoix
