I will say that the lighting just outside the Blush Restaurant was very pretty…..

Patti and I made our way to the casino. She decided to play the slots tonight and wound up losing $50. I played blackjack for a couple of hours and dropped $200. Not a very productive night for either of us. Anyway, we made our way back to the cabin around midnight, and found tonight’s turndown and towel animal. We both agreed that we enjoyed our day in St. Kitts. Good Night!

Wow. Love, love, love your review. My sister, her two daughters and I board the beautiful Breeze on October 4th and we can't wait. You have a beautiful family. Best wishes. Thanks for your wonderful insight.:cool:

 

Thanks for reading and your kind words. Have a great cruise on the Breeze!

 

Thanks for the great review so far Jamman54!

We are cruising this itinerary in reverse on the Breeze in December.

 

Just a couple quick questions, if you don't mind, about St. Kitts..

 

We have the Rail & Scenic purchased for St. Kitts and were contemplating switching to the Rail & Sail.

After seeing your pictures though, it look very crowded with limited places to sit.

Did you feel the catamaran to be crowded?

 

On Patti's drive back did they make any stops or go directly to the port?

 

Lastly, were there other adult beverages served on the train other than Rum Punch and Pina Colada?

 

Thanks again and great review!

 

Thanks for following along! To answer your questions, when it comes to the catamaran, if you don't mind being out in the sun, there are plenty of places to sit. However, if you need to be in the shade, there is very little seating inside.

 

Patti told me that there were no stops on the way back to Basseterre, though they pulled over or slowed down a few times for photo ops. Also, there were no drinks on the bus.

 

On the train they only served rum punches and pina coladas with alcohol. They were very strong!!.

 

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the information!

One last question..

 

If facing the front of the train, are more photo ops going to be on the left or the right? Which side is the water on?

 

Thanks again. :)

If you are on the early tour where you take the train first and then the catamaran, the water will be on the right side. If you take the late tour where you sail the catamaran first, then do the train, the water will be on the left side. There are photo ops on both sides. When we went, the upper level of our car was not full, so we were able to move from side to side.

 

Great review so far! We did a b2b on the Breeze last summer and can't wait to sail on her again in March. We'll be doing this exact itinerary so I'm enjoying reading what you and your wonderful family did in these ports.

 

Thanks for reading and your kind words. Enjoy your return to the Breeze!

You guys packed a lot in to a short stop. Patti is so brave, I would be a lil scardy cat to go off on my own. So do you stop at all on the cat and able to get in the water? Or is it just basically like a water taxi?

 

Oh and your son reminders me of mine. Crazy how teenagers can just sleep anywhere. Mine comes home and sleeps for like a week straight after we cruise LOL.

 

Dinner looks so good too!

Patti has no problem going off on her own. She read some of the reviews about the catamaran and rough seas and decided it wasn't for her. Plus the bus tour would take her back to the pier. As you will see in the upcoming San Juan segment, she goes off on her own again!

 

The catamaran did not stop. Would have been nice to have a one hour beach stop, but to tell you the truth, I don't think we passed any beaches on the sail back.

 

Yep, teenage boys are all the same, though I think the rum punches on the train might have had something to do with it! :)

 

 

I'm loving the review. Can't wait to be a part of the rest of your journey! We board the Breeze in December!!

 

Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Thanks for another great review. I was getting off of the Getaway the day you were boarding the breeze. I waved but I guess you didn't see me. We sailed the Breeze in March for spring break and I am sailing her again solo in November but our Itinerary is St Martin, Antigua, St Thomas and Nassau. I wish I was doing the itinerary that you did.

 

From reading your review I noticed that you are a beer drinker. The next time you are in Grand Cayman make sure you tour the Caybrew factory. You can take the public bus for $2.50 per person per way and it drops you off right across the street from the brewery. Admission is $6.00 per person and it includes a tour and 5 beers. When you are done just go to the bus stop right in front of the brewery and take the bus back to town. If you want more info you can email me at Namelocg at aol dot come.

 

Can't wait to read more.

Hi Jeff! I always enjoy the Maskall's cruises! Your reviews are great and I appreciate all of Patti's pictures. It's funny how when I have read many of your reviews over the years, it feels like I know you and the family. Keep up the warm and friendly reviews, and I'll continue to be a fan!

Thanks so much for bringing us along on another cruise! Your reviews are so informative and you seem like such a nice, fun family who live life to the fullest.

The pictures of you and Ryan on the "rum boat" are priceless!

 

Thank you very much! Glad that you enjoy our reviews. More to come.

 

Another great review in the works, YAY, can't wait for more! Just back from my own girls trip adventure and still not quite brave enough to do a review ... maybe next time ;).

 

Thanks for reading!! Don't be afraid to do a review. They are much appreciated, and a great way to relive your cruise. Give it a try!

I love your reviews! I usually don't say much, but thanks. Really enjoy! We will be on breeze in January on southern route, then on vista on this itinerary.

 

Thank you very much!! Enjoy your cruises on the Breeze and Vista!

 

Two more ports, Jeff, two more ports that you need to cover before Saturday! I'm interested to see what you did in San Juan! Keep it up!

 

Thanks for continuing to follow along. I might just make it. My plan is to post the San Juan segment tomorrow, and Grand Turk on Thursday. Fingers crossed! :D

Just caught up... ! So cool to see the cruise we went on, from a different perspective. Absolutely loved Matt as a cruise director too.. Saw him for a bit at Jacks Shack in Grand Turk, great guy!

Also great review [emoji4]
