Embarkation

It was the smoothest we have ever experienced. My husband drove 18 hours straight to get us to the boat on time. being able to get right on made a world of difference in our day. thank-you.

We enjoyed the lounging areas all over the ship. We sat at a couch and played cards for hours every single day. some days he won some days I won. It was relaxing.

Entertainment

I missed the movies under the stars. But the quality of the performers was better than any other ship we have been on.

Ship Quality

I liked the larger bathroom stalls. The ship had intimate feel.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Springing the extra money for a balcony is always worth it.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
We did not take an excursion. But we bought things around the port.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
This is our favorite island. We have visited it 2 years in a row. We got to go over to Nevis Island this time. We learned new things during both tours. Of all the islands we would go back here every chance we got.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

3 out of 5
The excursion was bad. this was the 2nd time we have been there and the last ship over booked the excursion we took. this excursion went to a cheese store and two streets downtown. defiantly a disappointment. It was pretty and safe their did not seem to be anymore to the island.

Disembarkation

Great review and as for bringing pants with elastic band I always bring two different size of clothes smaller ones to start the cruise and a size bigger to end the cruise I try to take the stairs all the time to cut down on the food that I eat so I don’t go home 10 pounds heavier keep on cruising I love the cruise
