We chose this cruise for the ports and excursions and were not disappointed. Our favourite excursions were the yacht racing on St Maarten and the catamaran and snorkelling on Grenada. Harrison caves on Barbados and the bus excursions to the Pitons on St Lucia were also very interesting but the bus rides were exceptionally long and tiring.
The staff on board were exceptional, always looking to please and ensure your had everything needed to enjoy your cruise. Our head waiter, his assistant and sommelier were excellent and on top of our idiosyncrasies perfectly. The cabin steward was one of the best we ever had on a voyage.
The food was generally top notch in the dining room. We ate most meals breakfast, lunch and diner. There was some occasions I felt that the seasoning was restrained and reflected the demographic and did no meet the quality I expect. The mast grill was a nice change with good burgers and fries. We did not use the buffet but two or three times and were very disappointed in the selections and overall quality of the food.
Cabin was nice, spacious, and bathroom was well arranged. Balcony was standard for this category and fit our needs.
