Review summary

IVE BEEN ON 18 CARNIVAL CRUISES AND 1 NCL. THERE WAS ALOT OF OLDER CRIUSERS ON THIS SHIP . THE CASINO WAS JUST BIG ENOUGH. WE THINK THE KIDS PROGRAM WAS MUCH BETTER ON CARNIVAL. THE RESTURANTS WERE SPREAD OUT ALL OVER THE SHIP. BUT ! EVEN THOUGH THIS SOUNDS NEGATIVE , WE HAD A GREAT TIME FOR THE MONEY, AND WE WOULD GO ON NCL AGAIN.

THE BATHS OF VIRGIN GORDA !!!BOOK THIS WITH THE SHIP. ( JUST TO GET OVER THERE QUICK ) THE FERRY PICKS YOU UP RIGHT WHERE THE SHIP IS DOCKED BUT... THEN STAY THERE AND TAKE THE FERRY BACK TO SHIP ON YOUR OWN. THE FERRY GOS BACK AND FORTH TO ROAD TOWN EVERY HOUR AND A HALF. ITS CHEAP $$, WE NEEDED MORE TIME THERE. (THERE ARE PLENTY OF TAXIS AT THE BATHS. TO THE FERRY.) LAST FERRY GOS BACK TO TORTOLA AT 3.
