St Maarten: We choose to book our own tour with Bernard tours.(it was recommended on cruise critic) We enjoyed this tours,went to Maho Beach (planes fly over) Orient Beach I was disappointed with cost of meals on the beach, very expensive, bathrooms were disgusting (bring hand sanitizer) I felt like it was a bit of a tourist trap, don't need to ever return. But the island itself it beautiful and the tour guide was fantastic. Shopping on the French side I would pass on that if I ever returned. Overall a very enjoyable day

St Thomas We choose the boat's excursion. Magen's Beach, Blackbeard Castle, specific scenery stops. We felt like the tour was a bit rushed, but St Thomas is a busy place with all the cruise boats. Too many people. But we did get fantastic photos. Magen' Bay was our highlight of the entire cruise. PARADISE beautiful swimming, for kids and families, quiet, nobody hast-ling you, just a wonderful clean beach. Blackbeard Castle walking tour, we also found this informative and a pleasure.

Grand Turk YUCK.........this was such a disappointment. Nothing more than a cruise line tourist trap. All the cruise-lines obviously got together bought the land, made the shops, made Margarita-ville....Blah Blah Blah. ALL I can say never again. Beach had garbage in it. Honestly I have nothing positive to say. Don't waste your money on a cab into town. THERE is NO town. Just a 6 small out-house size shops with crap in them. I can not comment on any excursions as we did not book any, maybe if we had, we would have felt differently about them. Shops are very overpriced. Just stay on the BOAT!

Riveria Deck 
Cabin R-257
Shower too small
Other than that it was perfect!!!!!

I also love that Princess has the laundry rooms, the other cruise lines don't have this amenity.We choose this as it offers free airport shuttle and cruise shuttle.
