Sail Date: Mar 2016

The remodel they did to this ship in 2013 turned out perfect. Our groups loved the new piazza and staircases....as well as the changes on the Lido deck - with colored water shows over the pool area set to music, and the interesting skywalk bar.

Our trip took us to Dominica and what a welcoming island. I can't recommend the river float tube adventure enough. Simply amazing ride and thanks to our guide Franklin, we learned so much about the rich history of plants being used for all their medicines.

But back to the ship itself... We enjoyed afternoon tea, their BOGO beverage service (for 1 hour each day, purchase a drink and get the second one for $1), and even the WINE makers dinner - different than the Chef's table. This dinner is a new offering on just a couple of ships as I understood it. Wonderful opportunity for an amazing special dinner filled with wonderful wines. Sabatini's was also wonderful Have cruised 10 times but this was our first visit to Sabatini's. It won't be our last.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

guide was very educational and getting to also see the Flamingo gardens - then taken straight to the airport made disembarkation easy.

Barbados

cave tour was nice. I have seen bigger caverns in the USA, but this was a very nice and easy day tour

St. Lucia

just walked off and checked out the downtown. Once you get past all the hawking taxi drivers, it was nice walk down to the city for a cold beer and shopping.

Antigua

tremendous crew on our catamaran. Reef snorkeling and later a rum punch and beach time made this a wonderful day.

Dominica

can not be more enthused about this tour!

St. Thomas

USA National Park service headquarters right at the harbor entrance. Got a map and walked the Lind Trail to Honeymoon beach. Wish we would have had our swim suits and had more time there. Absolutely Gorgeous water and sand. Like a Corona beer commercial.
