Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Loved St Thomas but not the dock we stopped in. We had to be put on buses into the town. Picked up an excursion (Tim's Tours) which was great and would recommend

Basseterre, St. Kitts

4 out of 5
Disappointed we didn't pull into the port, again at another dock with buses into the port area. Did a bus tour with Joseph Tours to Cockershell beach which was lovely, go to Raggae bar on the beach for food and drinks.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
Plenty of shops. Walked to the local bus depot and got a bus to Jolly Harbour Beach ($1.50 pp ew) great beach, stopped at Sandra's bar for drinks food and use of sun loungers.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
Booked the Maho beach experience with the ship, wasnt that impressed, didn't think much of the beach and didn't really have time to shop at the port unless you go out to the shops early morning then take the trip at 10.00am.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
All went fine, off he ship at 08.50am, got a taxi back to fort lauderdale hotel which was nearly $30.

This is a great detailed review. We’ll be on this same cruise in April and have sailed with RC many times but our first time having an Aft balcony. Is this what you had? Was it noisy when anchoring into the ports?
