Shore Excursions4
Sorry, due to being diverted because of Hurriaine Gustav we didn't reach the west carribean.Only did the east twice involving St.Thomas and St Marteen.Did our own excursions on both which were very easy managable from port via taxi.went to Magens Bay, Paradise Point, Orient Beach,Catamaran trip to Turtle Cove for swimming and snorkelling and as much beer and rum punch on the half hour journey back to ship.
Staff5
all staff were pleasant and helpful if needed.Always looked happy.Our waiter Yogit on our first week in the main dining room was wonderul, from service to telling us his own jokes.very friendly.
