We arrived nice and early but the ship was late departing due to a new check in system that was a mess. We stood in the heat for a couple of hours before we boarded. Once on board everything was great. The staff was very nice. We ate at the Blue Iguana Grill and let me tell you, a big burrito stuffed with huge shrimp and the fixens was perfect. Guy's Burger Joint was also a great greasy burger, bad for your heart but good for your tastebuds. I enjoyed the food, we did anytime dining.

The staff were very entertaining with a little show each night. The first 2 days were at sea. There were bands, shows and activities all the time. If you walk around the aft adult pool take shoes as the deck is so hot you WILL burn your feet. The third day we reached St Martin. We did a tour with Capt Bob Cass and had a great time, the island is great as was our tour. This is not a Carnival tour. St Martin has some of the best beaches and a guava berry rum that ia unique to the island. I also found gouda cheese on the dutch side that was awesome. The next stop was St. Kitts. We did an island tour and snorkeled. We also saw where they dyed the fabric and a botanical garden. Loved the monkeys, $5 and you can hold them and take photos with them. Georgio is the monkey on the donkey and he is a riot. He jumps all over and plays but very nice and gentle. They will tell you $30 but $5 does the trick. Also, good prices on duty free liquer. Next was San Juan. My wife loved it since it is a short stop and there is a lot of shopping that can be done. Do not be in a hurry to get off the boat since nothing is open right away in the morning. Take your carmera since there are lots of scenic spots. The last stop was Grand Turk. Great beaches and snorkeling right beside the ship. Beautiful sand and water, huge pool and more shops than I was lead to believe in other reviews. Tourist shops, jewelry, DelSol and bars. Plenty of places to sit, crowded areas and noncrowded areas, what ever you like. There was a nice monument to the space program since one of the capsules landed near by. The last day was restful day at sea.
