This cruise was my 2nd cruise. I was hooked after last year on the Allure. We chose to leave from Bayonne on the Anthem because we liked the ports of call. The first port was Puerto Rico, I wanted to go to a shop called The Butterfly People. I hadn't been there in many years and I wanted a new piece of their work. They were closed but luckily the owner was coming out the door and let us in to purchase some things. St. Maarten was next, we saw the airplanes fly over the beach but my favorite stop was the antique carousel in the mall. Antigua was next, we spent the day at the beach and had lunch. St. Lucia was beautiful. We toured the sites and saw a beautiful church and went to the beach. Barbados was a 3 beach tour, had a lot of fun with the tour guide. Last but not least St. Kitts. another favorite of mine. Having been there before we decided to take the train tour. WOW...the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.

Our cabin was on the 3rd deck with an ocean view and even though we had choppy seas for a couple of days, we had no problems.

We had most of our meals in the American Icon Restaurant. From the moment we approached the podium for reservations until we left the dining room we were treated like family. The food and service was the BEST!!! Read more
