Choose this cruise as it was to go to St. Martin. However the itinerary changed. Did research on the vessel and activities before going. Found San Juan hotels to be expensive as we went a day early. I used Costco travel to book the trip, it was easy to use and offered lots of perks. The photo package alone was worth the money. We found that the excursions were very repetitive as the were all volcanic islands. The restaurant’s aboard were fantastic, the quality of the food was great. We had a chance to talk with the executive chef on the second day on the ship and were very impressed with history. The boarding process went smoothly as we as the disembarkation. Entertainment was very good, we enjoyed almost every show on-board. My wife would have liked to see the Beatles group performance however it never started before 2200. This is very late if you have excursions booked. Overall we would definitely recommend this ship.

Cabin Review

Large Balcony

Very good cabin lots of storage space. Extra large balcony as it was on one of the bump out sections of the ship. Quiet location close to the elevators.

Port Reviews

Barbados

For a best of it was more of a drive around and see a few spots. Could use a more cultural perspective.

St. Lucia

Was an interesting drive to the volcano. Guides were very knowledgeable.

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Excellent excursion with great food. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a great meal.

St. Thomas

Guide was very repetitive with his narrative. Beach time of 2 hours was a little excessive. I would have preferred more discovery of the island instead.

San Juan

Came a day early stayed at a hotel near the airport. Hampton Inn location was good. There were lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Lupi’s across the street was excellent. The hotel was very expensive for what was offered.
