Cardex Posted May 29, 2010 Author #26 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Great review! I have a quick question...did you find this itinerary exhausting? I was looking at this cruise but I'm not sure how I would like not having a sea day. Thanks We LOVED the itinerary! We are not a big fan of sea days which is why we picked this cruise. For us it was not exhausting but we did have a couple ports (St Lucia and St Kitts) which we didn't have big tours booked. Also we are not party people so we had early nights most evenings which helped. We also thought it made the cruise seem longer than our other 7 days cruise because we saw and did so much.

Jeans*Fanatic Posted May 29, 2010 #27 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Have a great time!!! Oh, I plan on it! I have a question though... How much did you pay for the tour in St. Kitts? (trying to get as much information as possible before we head out! :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardex Posted May 29, 2010 Author #28 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Thanks for the pics and review. This was my favorite cruise so far, brought back great memories. I'm heading back next year, thanks for the river tubing review. I think you've tipped me in that direction, have to try it next year. Did they do any island touring before the tubing? Loved Dominica, very beautiful. The tour we did was just tubing but it takes you about an hours drive each way to get there and back so we saw a lot of the island. Antours did offer another river tubing excursion with a hike to a falls but we just wanted to do the tubing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(trying to get as much information as possible before we head out! :D) When Lyndon first came up to us he told us the price would be $60 and we said we only wanted to pay $30 so he said he could take us on a tour for that price. It was a 2 hour tour and it was just what we were looking for. We ended up tipping him $10. We though $40 was a good price for the tour we were given. Here's a photo of Lyndon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for responding. I really like going into port as opposed to being on the ship for too many sea days, so this might do well since I can always just choose not to go on an excursion and make it an easy day. I travel with my Mum most cruises and she tires pretty quickly, which was why I was asking about it being exhausting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txladydi Posted June 1, 2010 #46 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Great review, wonderful pics. It was nice meeting you! I think we may have been at Maho Beach at the same time as you, we did see Steph and Vance. One plane taking off knocked a kid about 10yo, off his feet and he wasn't even standing that close! He was actually just beyond where the sand starts to dip towards the water. We had fun, but man was it HOT! We have loads of pics, need to post them so the group can see. Hope to sail with y'all again, Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreciousCruiser Posted June 1, 2010 #47 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Great pics and review. Thanks for posting those beautiful pics of St. Kitts. We cruised on The Victory 4/25 and decided to take it easy in St. Kitts and didn't venture out much. Sure wish we would have now after seeing your pics. Oh well, maybe next time! Thanks again........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
