Sailing to celebrate a Special Birthday for my Husband.
We live in NJ so very easy to travel to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal.
Embarkation was running a little late, ship got in late due to bad weather but once they started embarkation, it went very smoothly. Ships Public areas recently went through a refurbishment. The ship was built in 2007, with the refurbishment it looks brand new!

Port Reviews
San Juan
Historic walking tour and cuisine tasting was a Great Experience with our guide Noeli
St. Maarten
We rented a Jeep to explore the island.
We have been to St Maarten numerous times, which made us familier with the island. I would not recommend renting a vechicle for first time visitors.
Tortola
We had booked a Catamaran but it was cnacelled due to mechanical problems.
We decided to take a taxi to the beach. Open air safari bus to Cane Garden Bay Beach, Beautiful Beach with all amenities, lounges and umbrellas for rent $20 for two lounges and one umbrella, food and souvineer are available.
New York (Manhattan)
We boarded the ship in Manhattan.
The cruise terminal is easy to reach by car.
