Windsurf - Our Favorite Ship

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Wind Surf

This was the third trans-Atlantic cruise we have taken on Windsurf. She remains our favorite ship - she's not young but elegant, graceful, and really just about perfect. Embarkation in Sint Maarten was seamless and we quickly got checked in. Found many familiar faces from past crossings - some come back every year. Staff just as welcoming and helpful as always. After a brief muster drill (no ...

Quick background. This was our 46th cruise, the 3rd on Windstar. We treated my son and his family so they could experience a 5-star cruise line. Windstar didn't disappoint! Flying from Charlotte, NC no problem to St Maarten. Customs there was very slow but the transfer to the ship was fine. Checked in at the cruise terminal and showed our vaccination paperwork & passports again and found ...

My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary on SDII out of St. Martin to visit the eastern Caribbean. What a fabulous time! The standards of service lived up to the hype. The crew knew us by name by the first dinner, and provided extraordinary service in every department. The size of the ship and the number of passengers we found to be perfect. It was easy to get to know a few other ...

We travel with Windstar Cruises and we vacation with Windstar Cruises. Since we are from the freezing Northeast, we like to vacation in the Caribbean preferable early winter. We were fortunate to spend 17 days on the Surf over the Christmas Holiday. When traveling in the Caribbean in December the sea can be rougher but usually not that bad. This trip the ocean was not really choppy but it did ...

We had been waiting for our BIG return to cruising following the Covid pause and were excited to see that Wind Surf would still be in The Caribbean during our vacation. The booking process was simple, all though the protocols for testing and transit through SXM were a bit confusing, but we managed to wade through the emails and figure out what steps we needed to complete to sail. It had been 10 ...

I won this trip and explained to Seabourn that I use a wheelchair at times since I have a very bad knee. I filled out paperwork online and when we got there in St. Maarten they had no real ramp to get my chair up. They had a bunch of steps and some weird panels that they had to close, but it was not made for people in a wheelchair. A man from the ship helped to push it up, but it was very ...

Trainwreck - WindStar

We chose Wind Star due to their itinerary in Lesser Antilles and positive experience from our first sailing with them for the French Polynesia summer of 2019. Unfortunately, COVID outbreak happened on Day 4 of 10. Wind Star dumped COVID positive passengers and their families in Barbados with no local support and sailed away to try to complete the rest of the cruise. They also failed to disclose ...

Whole ship was tested for Covid and about 20 of us were quarantined in our cabins.we were told we had special menus, no cabin service, no contact with anyone.

I choose this cruise as it was going out of St. Maarten and it not only required guests to be vaccinated but also had to submit a covid test 3 days prior to the St. Maarten Health Department. That was great but intimidating as we were so dependent on getting our PCR test back within 24 hours (or it could have been an antigen test). If a PCR it could be taken 3 days before departure, not a minute ...
