My husband and I are middle aged. We traveled with another middle aged couple. We stated at the Residence Inn the night before the sail date. The desk clerk, Samantha was very friendly. Our suite was very nice. We cruised on the Freedom of the Seas. Very nice ship. The service on the ship was great. Everyone was very friendly.
We chose Bernard's Tours for our excursion in St. Maarten. The driver of our tour bus was Mailman. He was highly knowledgeable of the area. You felt like you had been on a history tour when we left. I would highly recommend Bernard's Tours. Well worth the fee. I would rate this excursion excellent.
We chose Lovely Tours for our excursion in St. Thomas. The driver was not informative at all. We worried the whole trip to the beach if the truck was going to break down. When we got to the beach, he left us there and went back to town. We were left there for over 2 hours before the replacement vehicle came. I would not recommend this tour business. I would rate this excursion terrible.
The housekeeper kept our room clean and supplied with towels.
