Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Overall, it did not meet our expectations as presented...Insted of having a couch we had a chair...The balcony was a small triangle shape over the lifeboats so the view overall was only fair...The reseveration agent should have made this more alarming and clear when booking...

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Our open air bus tour was just OK, in our opinion there were to many Cheese and Rum stops... The good news is: we made it back to the Port Village in time to visit Kay's Jewlery Store and board the ship....

Our 4x4 pickup truck ride to the cave, beach and drive through the Sugar Cane field was fabulous...Patrick our driver / escort was knowledgeable and personable and shared history like a professor along with other fine points about the island...His tour was definitely the highlight of all of our port visits...

Rained like crazy however the people in the canopy area selling their goods were patient and courteous to all of us who hovered there out of the rain...

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

There appeared to be some confusion in the Ft Lauderdale bus boarding area when the Porters delivered large quantities of luggage and people breaking into the long line we had been waiting in...Perhaps, a more formal "Q" line should be added...
