Sail Date: Apr 2016
Cabin: AquaClass 1
We booked this cruise a long time in advance & got a good deal on an Aqua Class cabin on the hump plus included tips, classic drinks package & onboard credit.
We always wanted to travel on a Solstice Class ship but other cruises kept getting in the way!
Going to the Caribbean from Miami was always going to be a special cruise coming across the pond & for me personally, 3rd time lucky in actually seeing St Thomas & St Maarten.
Cabin Review
AquaClass 1
Cabin A1
Great cabin on the starboard hump, sheltered balcony from the sun, fantastic views to the front, side & aft. Balcony was great with 2 x reclining loungers, 2 x footstools & a table. Perfect for breakfast & snacks, we made full use of it!
Room was a good size, adequate storage.
Nice bathroom, shower with jets & a glass sliding door, no manky shower curtain! Hurrah!
Only basic toiletries provided - with a Aqua Class Cabin, you might expect more higher end toiletries.
Great room service provided by Nazareth!
Port Reviews
Miami
Love Miami - there is always something to do, something to eat, something to drink & something to shop.
Take your time researching places to go & eat with Trip Advisor or take a food tour if you are spending time on South Beach.
If you are a foodie, then there are lots of cuisines to try!
San Juan
Limited time in daylight hours to visit this port. We decided to just chill out & explore the old town. Saw plenty of sights on a round trip visit. Did a bit of shopping. Had a pina colada at the birthplace of the drink at Barrachina's.
Quite a few tourist shops closed up early on the Monday we were there which was a surprise since there was a cruise ship in port.
We had a nice meal at Aguaviva, wasn't our first choice as many restaurants are closed on a Monday.
St. Thomas
We did our own private excursion which was a trip into Charlotte Amalie for shopping - it is one long jewellery store but with lots of ships in port, it was busy.
We then hopped on our open air tour bus (with a roof) & joined the mental tour of Taxi Love from Sunny Liston Tours. Saw some good sights especially from Mountain Top.
Enjoyed the tour, saw quite a bit of the island.
St. Maarten
St Maarten was our favourite port of call. Philipsburg was more civilised, cleaner & smarter than Charlotte Amalie. The Boardwalk was beautiful. You could spend your whole day there, shopping, lunching & time on the beach! We had planes to go & spot so we took a taxi to Maho Beach. Stayed there an hour or so, got plenty of photos & video, had a drink at the Sunset Bar & headed back to have a fabulous lunch at Antoine's (lobster & creme brulee!) and wet our toes in the water! Awesome day!
And yes did a bit of shopping!
