We flew in from London and stayed that night at an airport hotel before being transferred to the ship.
My wife and I chose this cruise be cause it gave us the opportunity to do some whale watching, travel the Panama Canal and get some warm sunshine.
Embarkation was pretty quick compared to some we have experienced. Disembarkation was slow due to congestion at the port of Miami. We were 30 minutes late in getting off.
Smaller that we have experinced in the past on other ships. Clean. Balcony only adequate in size. Bathroom very small.
We chose to walk but this was marred by being badgered by taxi drivers wherever we went. Very heavy security in town.
Longish drive to Antigua but it was worth while when we got there. Intesting Spanish Colonial architecture.
