Carnival Valor docked at St. Maarten, an easy port to disembark.
Ft. Brimstone in St. Kitts entails a LOT of climbing to see everything!
Caribelle Batik in St. Kitts -- beautiful, but quite expensive.

One of the many towel critters left to surprise us.
At the top of Castillo San Cristóbal, you can easily spot the ships in port
Our final night's towel creation -- thank you, Randy & staff!

SUMMARY: This was a good cruise -- we made all our ports, weather was tolerable, excursions were memorable, food was good, and cabin was fine.

This was my 10th cruise, the 7th on Carnival. I sailed with my sister, both of us in our 60's. This was her 16th cruise, I believe. We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, the length of the cruise and the good value.

We drove in from North Carolina the night before and stayed at the Best Western in Cocoa Beach, which allowed us to leave our car there free.

Ocean View

Cabin 6B

Good sized window, 3 closets, couch, adequate bath. A little noisy at night due to? Maybe stabilizer noise.

Port Reviews

St. Maarten

We loved this! I'm in my 60's and had never enjoyed parasailing, but found it fun, easy, and exciting. Staff was very solicitous without making me feel ancient.

Grand Turk

Segway Tour: Big fun and great way to see the sights up close and personal

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Lots of places to stay at reasonable rates if you come in early. The port itself is efficient and easy to negotiate. Security was alert, but still reasonable.
