We went with another couple, and we all had a great time!! Ate in the Crown Grill twice, as the food and service were as good as any fine steak house!!
Service on the ship was excellent, all the way around. The dining room food was very good, except for one night, when the Cornish Game Hens had to be sent back, as they were all bone and no meat. The buffet food was what we had expected; good, but not over-the-top. The shows, for the most part, were very good! We had one comedian who had a lot of jokes that we have read on the Internet; and the Motown show was cancelled. The highlight was a piano player who had a great show. He plays backward, upside down...quite a talent.
We never get off at Princess Cays. St. Thomas has come back a lot since the hurricanes, and we did out best to further help out their economy, buying jewelry and rum!
Martinique skip!! They are not ready for tourists. The cabbies did not speak any English, only French. We listened to one of the small groups from the ship talk French, trying to hire a cab. They were told that none of them were for hire!! We walked around the downtown area, then went over to the fort, where we were told that it would be two hours before they had an English-speaking guide there! Definitely, Martinique is not ready for prime-time!!
Grenada was the exact opposite. Friendly and courteous cabbies, and we had a terrific tour of the island, stopping at a bunch of little shops. Still have signs thanking the U.S. for coming in and getting rid of the revolutionaries!!
Bonaire is primarily for scuba and snorkeling, but we found a cab to take us around the island. Surprisingly, it is semi-arid, with the predominant plat being the cactus!! Gorgeous waters, and incredible groups of flamingos.
Curacao was the last stop, and one of our party got sick, so we did not see too much of it. We did get to watch moving bridge open, which was some sight!! While we were waiting, we were looking across the water at the beautiful pastel shades of the buildings. We did get to the oldest Jewish temple in the Western Hemisphere. Sand floors, great artifacts, really a highlight for us.
