Sail Date: Jan 2019
Cabin: Suite

Cruise period 22/1/19 - 5/2/19......We chose this Caribbean cruise because over a 2 week period it had a port of call virtually everyday and we hadn't cruised before on MSC.

Main good points.....

flight very good, met at Gatwick by MSC reps, bags taken at Gatwick, didn't see again until we were in the cabin.

Cabin Review

Suite

Cabin S3

Excellent cabin, large with a walk in closet area and a bathroom with bath. This cabin has sealed panoramic windows that overlook the front of the ship.. If there was a downside there is no outside space

Port Reviews

Barbados

Didn't do an excursion as had done them before

Grenada

Did our own thing, beach by taxi

St. Vincent

Did our own thing...mini bus with others around certain places, Pirates of the caribbean (film) location could be so much better developed & organised, a bit disappointing. Beach stop off OK.

Martinique

Just went downtown, nothing great should have stayed on board ship

Guadeloupe

Did our own thing, went downtown, a bit bohemian, as it was a Sunday most places were shut but I imagine it would be busy if on any other day. Raining downtown but got a cab to a beach roughly 30 mins away where it was sunny, as it was a Sunday all the locals were out so it was busy, OK though.

Tortola

Really liked this island, did our own thing went to a lovely beach, pelicans diving in the water, decent facilities. I would come back to Tortola on holiday.

St. Maarten

Just went into town as had been here several times before. OK for shopping, small water taxi ride from the ship, $7 return.

Dominica

Did our own thing. taxi to waterfalls and various places. Nice island worth a tour, very rainforest. Another island to consider coming back to if you wanted a holiday here

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Did own thing, great island for shopping if your looking for a watch or jewellery, much better than St Maarten. Near beaches OK.

St. Lucia

Did our own thing, taxi tour to sights the Rodney bay march which was very crowded .
