Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Had no problem figuring out the layout of the ship. For a older ship she was well maintained always saw people cleaning wiping railing,cleaning tables washing windows or working on things painting/changing hand railing
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
We had a balcony(8540) nice location close to elevator/stairs, 3 up to pool and 3 down to casino! It was clean Irod did a great job! It seemed smaller then others we have had but it's a cruise ship cabin. Some of the draws where hard to pull open. downside RC cut back on towel animals every other night and could not check your account on TV.
Ship tip
Don't sweat the sm stuff your on vacation enjoy the time!
Stayed the night before at the Renaissance which was nice and clean but did not offer much for the price. Did not do excursion just explored on our own.
Been a few times before on cruises and stayed for a week once but never docked at crown bay did not like this dock. Much rather dock at havensite. Traffic is crazy and there is a lot of construction from hurricane.damage. we went to coki beach which was crowded but very nice great snorkeling beautiful clear water.beach had food/drinks a couple of little shops and clean bathrooms. Great day.
We did an ATV excursion (gecko island adventure) (trip advisor) the owners are a nice couple from TN the tour guide Jamal was very informative had a great time the ride ended at rainbow beach which was beautiful with great drinks ask for the bucket. Love St Croix!
I must say I was here once befor and don't remember being accosted like we were this time from all the taxi/tour people they did not take No thank you for a answer. We shopped alittle hoping the weather would get better then went Dickerson bay which was nice but weather did not get much better so went back to town to be hounded again. Found a nice bar with view of ship and enjoyed the rest of the time.
We went to Palm court (trip advisor) $12 pp to get in and. $4 taxi to get there nice relaxing day with beautiful view. Did some shopping after. Love St Kitts
Took the water taxi over to the shopping area $7pp round trip. Found a great taxi guy to take us to pinal island which is on the French side (still lots of damage from hurricane) he stopped at a store so we could pick up drinks Asked what time we wanted to get picked up and was there waiting for us. Did some shopping on front st before taking the water taxi back to ship. St Maarten is my favorite island.
