Left NYC behind after a quick and painless check in. The first day was rough but things quickly quieted down. Fun meet the captain party the second night. It's nice to have a DVD library that you can choose from. Breakfast and lunch in the Courtyard every day. Swam in the CY pool several times, small but enough to get cooled off. Once we got to the islands no more swimming there. Concierge Adrian made dinner reservations for us a few times in magenta and grand pacific which was a great help but we ate quite a few nights from the buffet and took the food out to the great outdoors where there was always seating. The ports were amazing and each island was more beautiful than the last. i did a lot of research through these boards as you can too, but we went for quiet. One very special place we found was deep bay in antigua where the royal antiguan hotel is. half mile of blinding white sand but still lots of shade and a nice restaurant. There is even a shipwreck just off shore you can snorkle to. Also The baths in virgin gorda was insanely beautiful through the caves to get there (which require climbing and not for physically challenged). Gin clear water as some would say. tried to put our feet down to touch when swimming and it was 20 feet deep. amazing. But i can't let this review go without commending our butler Maxi for being the absolute best (professional, thorough, sweet and willing to go to the ends of the earth for you). It was a magnificent trip and I'd reccomend it in a heartbeat.
