Review summary

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this cruise! This was a smaller ship than our last cruise and other than my sea sickness on the voyage home, everything was great! We found all the islands intriguing and will definitely revisit Aruba and Antigua...possibly Barbados. Scenery was absolutely breathtaking! The only complaint we had was on Grenada and St. Lucia, all the locals we encountered had their hands out. Beaches we were taken to were filthy, I recommend bug spray! By the time the cruise was over, we were tired of opening our wallets. We will most likely just do an all-inclusive trip to our favorite islands and spend a week so that we can see more.

If you get sea sick, a cruise member told us to get a green apple, which you can get from the windjammer. It worked me my brother!!

We have booked Calabaza Cruise to swim with turtles in Barbados. It's the top rated one on the island and my friend has done it personally and says it's amazing! We are also doing beaches on other islands but want to find something for St Lucia.

We are also struggling to find plans for Grenada and St Lucia. We have booked an excursion in Barbados and planning beaches for Aruba and Antigua. What do you suggest for these 2? Thank you x

Hiya! Same cruise in March and I have a couple of questions! This is our 1st cruise and I am worried about travel sickness as I suffer. I am going to have the works on hand (bands, tablets and patches) but do you have any other reccomendations? When, where and how did you suffer?
