We chose this cruise as we had so enjoyed a fantastic trip with Seabourn Quest in 2016. We wanted to skip a month of Winter and be spoilt whilst doing it.

To rate it 3 stars seems mean, but the trouble is parts of the cruise were 2 star and parts were 4, never did it achieve the 6 stars it clams to be!

Embarkation was a little shambolic, but it was Barbados, so we were not surprised. Welcome aboard was casual and we were ok with that. Our cabin was identical to the one we had on The Quest, so fine for us.

Cabin Review

Veranda Suite

Cabin V6

Good cabin, comfy bed, great storage areas. Patheticly small television which cannot be viewed comfortably from the bed or the sofa.

Port Reviews

Miami

Used the Big Bus hop on hop off. Really good fun, saw lots, walked on the beach, Ocean Drive etc, excellent.

Key West

Very pretty place, expensive but very pleasant.

Banana Coast (Trujillo)

Literally not worth getting the tender across!

Aruba

Love Aruba, had a lovely walk round, just a nice place to wander, even in the rain!

Curacao

Very pretty place, enjoyed a wander around the main shopping area. Just a shame our ship was moored so very far out of town.

Bonaire

We looked around the town and found it very welcoming and peaceful. Then booked a local taxi to visit the Salt Pyramids and Flamingo sanctuary. This cost half of the coach trip organised by the ship and meant we had control over how long we spent. Given that the Flamingos are a long way off in the distance, the Salt Pyramids are definitely the highlight!

Barbados

Embarkation was a little shambolic, but not really surprised by that!

St. Vincent

Quite pretty for a little wander round.

Martinique

Again, quite a pretty place.

Guadeloupe

Interesting and colourful but very dangerous pavements and kerbs.

Antigua

Very attractive, well worth a visit.

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Carambola beach barbeque day, very enjoyable.

St. Thomas

Only really saw the Duty free area, which was huge!

San Juan

Not that impressed.

Santo Domingo

Taxi ride worked well.

Puerto Limon

Interesting for a short visit.
