We chose this cruise for the destinations. we were a little worried because of the size of the ship. we are used to bigger ships. we have sailed on the breeze and the glory among others. This ship we thought would feel tiny. we had originally booked a regular balcony which probably would have felt tiny with the four of us. however 2 days before our trip we got a call from carnival asking if we would like to be upgraded for 700 total. we did it. thankfully to a grand Suite. it was well worth it. what a nice cabin it was. the regular rooms dont have a fridge. this one does.

I never felt crowded at all anywhere on the ship, I guess because there are so many fewer people on it. the staff were great. the food was good. the entertainment was wonderful. my daughter and I were both in the hasbro game show. The comedy shows were hilarious. We went a day early to San Juan and stayed at the tres Palmas inn. which I highly recommend. it is adorable. it is a good pri it is for those who like to relax and like quiet. not for those who want to party unless you dont mind taking a cab since it is in a residential area. it is clean, good AC, a pool, rooftop hot tub over looking the beach. free beach chairs and towels, free beach toys and pool toys for the kids, free wi fi, free continental breakfast, the staff was outstanding. We also stayed the day after and explored the forts.

on St thomas we went Snuba.. that was much fun.. 4 star.. in Barbadis we swam with the sea turtles which was awesome... 4.5 stars.. would have been 5 stars but there is nothing under the water but sand.. the crew was great tho.. In St. Lucia.. We went Snorkeling between the Pitons...Now this is something you need to do.. the snorkeling was amazing. 5.5 star....and the scenery is outstanding... In St. Kitts we rode Mini Speed Boats and snorkeled by a ship wreck and had so much fun. those boats are FAST!!!! 5 star!!! At St. Maarten we drove the ATVs... we had to drive them a little slower than I would have wanted to but it was very fun.. we stopped at several places to take pics and then at the beach. we even fed wild iguanas. 4.5 stars.

St. Thomas

It was fun for the rest of the people with me.. I however float more than most and could not get down very good even tho the guide put more weights on me. I guess i would not drown if I tried.
