My reviews are written diary style with several entries per day. Due to the length of my cruise diaries, I've decided to put in a mini index up front with some of the major topics and where you can find my notes on it: 1) Cruise background & Pre-cruise - Beginning 2) Main cabin information - Day at Sea 3) Overall ship impressions - Tortola 4) Barbados Excursion: A Taste of Barbados & Scenic Drive with Lunch (Tour BGI-212) 5) St Thomas' Excursion: St. John Island Tour (Tour STT-120) 6) Chef's Table - Antigua 7) Ultimate Balcony Breakfast - Antigua 8) Sabatini's - Barbados 9) Food comments - Almost daily
