We selected to try Azamara due to the itinerary offered: 2 sea days from/to Miami; St.John USVI; Terre de Haut - Guadeloupe; Roseau - Dominica (2 months prior sail date replaced by Philipsburg - St Maarten); Charlestown - Nevis; Gustavia - St Barts; Virgin Gorda - BVI (replaced during cruise due to bad weather & swells by St Croix USVI).

We have sailed with Cunard's QM2; Royal Caribbean's Monarch; Holland America Line (Nieuw Amsterdam & Volendam), Oceania's Riviera , some ships repeat stays as we love them. We have booked verandas or even suites before depending on offered routes. We love to interact with other passengers and arrange also own excursions or join happily other initiatives.

Embarkation went very quickly in about 45 minutes we were onboard.

See comments in main descrition but all was good.

Port Reviews

St. Barts

Taxi to Shell Beach: you can actaully walk up. Beach is very nice, very costly to rent beach chairs @ US$100 per person per day! Walk on to left of beach and find private alcoves and heated stones to sit on. Restaurant on beach (Shellina) is new and good!

St. Maarten

Via cruise critic a roll call on Kayaking from the french part to Pinel Island. Fun to do, and we could see even sea turtle!!! Worth the money with tranfer from ship even included!

St. Croix

Walked off the ship and on left a beach with rental chairs available. Little town also offers some shopping and when our ship was here, even little stalls were erected.

Nevis

Took taxi to Botical Gardens, which are large and with the main house offering a true Thai dining experience. Had lunch on open veranda of the house and the view is very nice. Beach is not really that great.

Guadeloupe

Terre de Haut is beautiful and the undeep waters around the ferry port is crystal clear. Be aware of sea urgents!!!!! Little town was sleepy as we where there on Sunday afternoon / lunch time. So rental for transport was closed, shops were open.
