We chose this cruise based on the only time we had available. On this 10day Cruise, we were scheduled to stop at 4 islands. In Antiqua and St. Lucia we booked excursions on our own. In St. Thomas we booked the Turtle Cove catamaran trip. The trip out and back were a lot of fun. The crew was very safety concious. The Cove however, took a beating during the last hurricane. The turtles are just starting to come back, as are the fish. Not too much to see.

We had plenty of time on the cruise to relax, as Martinique was canceled to allow for extra time to get home through the rough seas. Dramamine was mandatory!

Our main complaint was the temperature of the food. We had cold food in the Garden Cafe that should have been hot. We did bring it up to the food director, who said they would be looking into it. Towards the end of the cruise the temperature had improved to lukewarm,but still not up to par.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Inside

Cabin IA

Cabin was an inside room, hence small. But we knew that before booking.

One side of the bed was blocked by a table. You could get past it by sitting on the bed and swinging your knees through. Bathroom was a good size for an inside room. Good water pressure and temperature.
