Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Stateroom was clean and nicely appointed. Location was great. Twice I passed the room thinking it was further away from the elevators! Bed was comfortable and linens were wonderful!Room was a little smaller than some but the balcony was larger than the last cruise we were on. Made it nice to stretch out and eat out there where you didn't feel like you would step out the door and go over the rail.

Ports of call

St. John's, Antigua

See Nelson's shipyard! Great history, ambiance and shopping. Do the "Best of Antigua" excursion.

Don't Miss: Nelson's shipyard and Eric Clapton's estate on the "Best of Antigua" excursion.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5

We love St. Thomas. We visited Magans Bay beach. It was a little "touristy" and crowded for my taste. Enjoyed the Coral World and aquariums. If you are looking for bargains on jewelry, St. Thomas has the best prices!

Don't Miss: Too many to pick a favorite. Don't miss duty free shopping.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5

Loved Orient Beach. Sign up for afternoon beach break. It is relaxing and refreshing! Street vendors are easy to deal with for souveniers.

Pros: Ship's size, layout and decor.

Cons: Wait at elevators, but not as long as other cruises.
