Our excursion was cancelled in St. Maarten as we got there late due to a mechanical issue on the ship (which they handled excellently), so we ended up just taking a ferry to the beach and hanging out. It was nice, but we didn't enjoy the constant flow of peddlers. Also, while I thought the beach and water were great here, the water was so much nicer and clearer at Magan's Bay in St. Thomas. 


St. Maarten

In St. Thomas, we did the "Best of St. Thomas" tour where we got to stop at some overlook points for great photo opportunities, and we also spent 2 wonderful hours at Magan's Bay. Next stop was Blackbeard's Castle, where we were a little disappointed as there were only 2 ferry times back to the ship - 12:30 or 2:30, and we were told prior that we could come back "whenever we wanted". We had booked another excursion, so we couldn't wait until 2:30, so we had to rush through the castle and hurry to the 12:30 ferry. The other excursion we had planned was the Skyline Ride, which turned out to be broken down anyway, so that was a bit of a debacle, but we still very much enjoyed our time on Magan's Bay. 


St. Thomas

In Nassau, we booked the Blue Lagoon Dolphin Encounter, and that was fantastic! While you only spend about 20 minutes in the water with the dolphins, you get to do a lot with them (hug them, rub them down, dance with them, kiss them, etc.), and you are able to buy the video of your entire experience at the end. 


Nassau

In Miami, we did the Everglades tour, which was a great way to end our vacation and take care of getting us and our luggage to the airport in the process. The airboat ride was a little boring, but the alligator demonstration after was amazing. The tour that came along with the bus ride was also very interesting. Would highly recommend. 


Miami

Great spacious balcony, but enclosed, so have to stand up and look out to see everything.  Room was on the small side, but storage space makes up for that.  Child will sleep in a travel-sized pack n play, rather than a full-sized one.

The only issue is that with the smaller (narrower) rooms, there isn't enough room for a full size pack n play, so they give you a little travel one.She was always very happy there and wanted to go back, so we felt great about her having fun while we were able to have some adult time.
