Travelling as a solo passenger, this was a 7 night itinerary to the Caribbean starting and ending in Barbados and visiting a nice selection of varied islands, including some old favourites such as St Lucia and Grenada, but also some lesser featured stops such as Guadeloupe, Bequia and Tobago.
There was only one day at sea at the beginning of the cruise with a new port of call every day after that and plenty of choice of shore excursions, one to suit all preferences or level of mobility.
Food was plentiful and restaurants varied - some waiting for a table required at peak times in the more popular ones however a pager system meant that waiting could take place in a bar or lounge nearby.
Entertainment of a good standard and, with 2 performances most nights, timing suited both early nighters and night owls. The silent discos were a welcome addition to the programme and, as ever, good fun.
The TUI flights and transfers went very smoothly, luggage tagged for the ship at the airport and delivered to your cabin door. Ship passengers taken directly from the plane and transferred to the port for smooth and painless embarkation process - holiday could get started straight away which was much appreciated when only cruising for a week.
All in all a very enjoyable cruise which I would not hesitate in repeating in the future.
