We just returned from a 12 day cruise (1/11 to 1/23/2015) to Labadee, San Juan, St. Maarten, Barbados, Martinque, and St. Kitts. We cruised with a couple who are close friends. Our arrival from the hotel was delayed by the shuttle and we arrived a few minutes late for our appointment time (10:45 to 11:15 am). The first impression of the ship was that it was rather boxy and large.
EMBARKATION:
The cruise terminal at Cape Liberty has underdone a major transformation. Gone are the days of the traffic gridlock to get to the porters. There is now a large building close to the pier. We did have a hiccup getting our suitcases from the shuttle to the porters. Nobody seemed to want to take our bags and we had to actively seek out a porter.
