Our room steward was fantastic. He was always one step ahead of us as far as knowing our needs and taking care of them.

The lay out of the ship was easy to navigate and was very well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

we had a mini-suite and it was very roomy and comfortable. Balcony was larger than we expected. My husband now only wants to book a mini-suite.

Ship tip

Be sure to check out the Great Outdoor bar and eating area as it is the best place on the ship. Beauiful to see the sunset as well as to meet old friends or to make new ones.

Too busy for a slow southern girl but was fun for a day. Did the bus tour at the end of the cruise and it was easy way to get back to the airport as well as informative.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
No excursion but enjoyed the shopping area.

Fort-De-France, Martinique

5 out of 5
No excursion but was a pretty area to walk around off the ship.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
No excursion but did get in some shopping.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

3 out of 5
Parked the boat away from the shopping area and needed to pay 15.00 for shuttle of 5 minutes to town so we got back on the ship. Felt if they wanted us to buy in their port they should get us to the shopping area.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
No excursion and have been here befor enjoyed the shopping.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
