My husband and I were on the 13th August sailing to the Eastern Caribbean. We were fortunate enough to be part of a group of 100 South Africans who sailed compliments of a large supplier who organised this as an incentive to their top customers.
A few qualifications to my ridiculously long review so that it makes more sense in context:
I am 37, my husband is 42. We were not travelling with kids. The cruise, airline tickets, transfers, the 'per diem' drinks package and pre-payable gratuities were paid for as part of the incentive trip. The supplier also gifted everyone $150 credit on their SeaPass card. We have been so blessed and fortunate, as this is probably never something that we would have afforded ourselves. As such, we decided to take the money that we would have spent on a vacation locally and use that as spending money. This resulted in us having the holiday of a lifetime without having to give a second thought to money that we spent during the time. We were also able to tip additionally for great service, and of course we have a huge bias toward the South African crew we met on board.
excellent location, no ambient noise, far aft, limited noise from passers-by in hallway, great balcony
