Review summary

The ship is beautiful with lots of glass and great views from everywhere. The ports were beautiful and easy to get around in. The ships crew were very helpful and attentive and you could tell they love their jobs and the ship. The Captain (Rune Lokling) was so visable throughout the whole trip and he would take time to stop and chat and kid around with you. His mid day reports were hysterical and he left the whole ship saying "Hertie Gertie" and Kiss kiss kiss. I can't wait to go back.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
The traffic was bad here so a far away excursion is a risk. The Bacardi rum factory tour is a waste of time.
Don't Miss: The best part of San Juan is Old San Juan--you can walk there from the ship and its fun and beautiful.

St. John's, Antigua

Very agressive shop owners, some of the street vendors made us nervous because they followed us around. Prices varied greatly from store to store. I recommend getting an island tour or going out to one of the nice beaches.

Nassau, Bahamas

Senor Frogs was great and the straw market was very crowded but nice...the shops are okay but not a lot of different ones, seems like every block was a repeat of the last one.
Don't Miss: don't miss Blue Lagoon Island and the dolpin encounter...it is awesome!!!!

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

3 out of 5
Bad traffic and very busy and congested. We did Coral World and a small island tour which was nice.
Don't Miss: Don't miss the sky ride up the side of the mountain, great restaurant and views from up there. Located just across from the ship.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
My most favorite place. Beautiful island, the people are very nice and the shopping is great, much better than St. Thomas. I would go back again and again to this island.
Don't Miss: The WHOLE island is a "don't miss". You'll love it here!!!!

Pros: THE SHIP AND THE CREW ARE WONDERFUL...MAKES EVERYONE FEEL LIKE A KING OR QUEEN.

Cons: THE FACT THAT I HAD TO LEAVE AFTER 8 DAYS IS THE WORST!!!!
