We chose the Sun because we had been on it a year ago and like the smaller size and we loved the 15 day itinerary which included some places we had not been in many years, like the ABC islands. It went to Cuba, which was ok for some,they have so many rules to follow to visit, plus you have to purchase a special Visa, but when they said, bring your own toilet paper......? It also included St Lucia, Barbados, St Kitts, San Juan(which I was pleasantly surprised by) it was lovely, St Thomas and Stirrup Cay. When not in a port we were in the 2 pools which are so nice and refreshing but not too cool. They took out some of the tables by the pool and put in more lounge chairs which was a good idea. We chose the drink and specialty restaurant packages. Le bistro, is my favorite, we went there twice. The changes were subtle but everything looked clean and fresh. The food was good but sometimes it was a little hard to find tables. At breakfast instead of the cafe buffet, we found out that if you went to Modernos they had great made to order omelets and waffles, fresh fruit, etc with no lines.

Magans bay beach was absolutely the safest and most beautiful of the ones we went to, although they were all lovely.

The entertainment was very good, singing, dancing, the one comedian juggler, Dan Bennett, was exceptional. Everyone was so nice and very helpful, especially Bradley in the photo studio. Reminded us of one of our grandsons, I asked him if we could adopt him.

Cabin OC

We loved this cabin because in was so convenient to the center of the ship. It was quiet and at night the waves would rock you to sleep.

Very pleasantly surprised, fun port to see on foot.

One of a kind vessel you can go down and see underwater. Came up and had drinks and snacks. Those that wanted to could snorkel later.

Got a cab which gave us a very nice tour for a good price.
