We all had a great time. Why is an 8 day cruise so much better than a 7? The extra day really stood out as a bonus. We enjoyed our ports of call, especially Old San Juan and St. Kitts. St. Martin would be have better if we just went to Orient Beach. Our island tour with Bernard's Tours was ok and the driver tried really hard. But traffic on St. Martin was horrible. Having 5 cruise ships in port at the same time was a bit too much.

Carambola Beach Club on St. Kitts was ideal for relaxing beach day. We just took a cab.

Labadee was ok but I really hate how long the buffet line was. I didn't want to give up my time on the beach or in the water to wait so I skipped out on lunch.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Small but functional. Our shower leaked when we used full water pressure but we didn't spend much time in room. Decor and furnishing are starting to look a bit dated but we were comfortable. Cabin stewart did a good job.

Port Reviews

Labadee

Water felt great but excursions were cancelled. Buffet lines way too long. Who wants to spend all of their beach time waiting in line for a hot dog?

San Juan

Enjoyed walking around Old San Juan. El Morro (the fort) is impressive!

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

We took a cab to Carambola Beach Club. A nice place to spend the day. The ocean felt great. We rented jet skiis there too.
