Great walk off the ship and on to the port. Great contrast to the previous port of Samana (not listed in port) where tender is involved. Also this port provide an immediate contrast to the Domician republic port of Samana in terms of lifestye,layout and facilities.

Tortola

Interesting port of call with the British and French side.

St. Maarten

Another interesting port with British colony history.

Antigua

A hilly and past volcanic rainforest area. Again contrast of landscape to past ports.

Dominica

Pretty well as basic port with good places to visits in the vicinity - St John, Bathesba, Gun Hill, etc

Barbados

Smaller island with a contrasting view - rich versus poor areas. Good sightseeing sites.

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Room 5075 - Good layout. As indicated in review above - Fix the inside cabin fire alarm and the washroom exhaust system to ensure no false alarm. Anyway to sound proof the room better and clean out the shower stall including laundry line to rid the mold.

However the 3 unforgettable incidents of being a 2nd class passenger by being held back by more than 1hr in the tender process to Samana and almost missing my private tour, my wife getting the safety officer visit not once but twice due to trigger of the faulty cabin fire alarms while taking her shower and lastly the last minute accounting adjustment did make this trip a cruise a memorable one albeit the worst cruise we want to forget.However one thing this cruise does put off many passengers on the first shore visit in Samana is that in the tender process, they give all their passengers with shore excursions to get on the tenders to start the journey first before 
allowing the other passengers with private agenda go last.
