Additional details
Very good cruise. We had cruised on the Breakaway in 2013, and were interested to see what we thought of the smaller ship. Honestly don't have a preference. Food was great, service was great, entertainment was great. Ship was in great shape. You would never know it was built in 2007.
Grand Pacific: great main dining room. Good for both dinner and lunch. Of course, lunch was much less crowded. Busier didn't seem to mean service suffered. Food was very good.
Magenta: quieter, darker main dining room. Food and service also excellent.

Port Reviews
Tortola
Some decent shops at the port. Otherwise, ground transportation is required.
St. Kitts (Port Zante)
Cheap beer, good shopping (but pushy sales people). Had a monkey try to steal my beer.
St. Maarten
Walked to The Yoda Guy museum. A must see for movie buffs.
St. Thomas
Butterfly Garden is a short walk, nice little stop.
San Juan
Disembarking was simple. Quick thru customs. Cabs readily available.
