We chose the cruise because the price was great and so was the itinerary. We did Great Stirrup Cay, St. Thomas and Tortola. This was my 48th cruise and I cruise all the brands.
For the most part we had a good time, enjoyed the shows, food and ports but the downside was the setup of the cabin: toilet behind glass at the head of the bed, if you went to the bathroom in the night, it was loud and woke the sleeping person, and that's before you flushed. The sink and mirror in the middle of the room and not enough light to shave or apply makeup, and shower behind glass, NO BATHROOM DOOR, only a curtain. No drawers and only one small closet to hang stuff up. We didn't even take all our clothes out of our suitcases because frankly there wasn't any room. Others told us they had two side by side closets and a dresser. We had an adjoining room, not requested and maybe that's why ours was smaller?
Our room steward: He was very slow, the morning cleaning wasn't done before 1 pm, our evening turn down would be past 8pm. We'd be gone for hours and come back and still not done so we'd leave again. He had rooms on both sides of the ship and ours was the last one he'd do and we had to keep going to him to get washcloths because he was stingy with them for some reason. We ran out of bar soap and we asked and it never was replaced. Every time we saw him HE complained of being overworked which he probably was but hey, I don't care, I'm on a cruise. This was his first contract and I'm sure he had no idea how much work it would be. At first we felt sorry but every time we saw him?
bad design of the bathroom and closet space. I have no idea what balcony category I had.
Embarkation was a long long process waiting outside in long lines. We were priority but still had a very long wait.
We rented a scooter for $50 for all day from Aaron rentals. It was awesome!
Rented a scooter $45 for 3 hours, our port time was short and had to be back to the ship at 1:30pm. We went all around the island and stopped at Kiki Beach and had a blast, We brought our snorkeling gear with so enjoyed the clear water. went up the mountains for beautiful views and photos.
Best private island in the business. Had a beautiful day and snorkeled along the rocks, went for walks and the lunch was fabulous! Beach chairs were free and we got a canopy, free, to cover us as we didn't want full sun. Very relaxing.
