St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands (Charlotte
Amalie)
If you’re looking for a Caribbean
port with more than just beaches, check out St. Thomas. In addition to
great shopping (the island is known as a duty-free paradise), you’ll
find museums, gardens, a marine park, a tramway, and a world-class golf
course. And, of course, amazing beaches.
Basseterre,
St. Kitts and Nevis
Ships dock in Basseterre, a historic
town with more than 30 heritage sites. Among them is the 38-acre
Brimstone Hill fortress, where, hundreds of years ago, the British and
French fought over the island. This tropical paradise is also a great
place to scuba dive: Take a shipwreck dive, or visit the National
Marine Park. Or, simply spend the day at one of the island’s white- or
black-sand beaches.
Grenada,
(St. Georges)
The Caribbean island of Grenada is
located just north of Venezuela. At approximately 215 square miles
around, Grenada is one of the smallest independent countries in the
western hemisphere, but with a British/French/West Indian background,
it’s rich in history. Exciting activities include visits to the
island’s three military forts (views are amazing), water sports
(snorkeling, diving, and more), and viewing rain forests and waterfalls
via adventure Jeep tours.
La Guaira,
Caracas
Come explore the capital and crown jewel of Venezuela. You’ll get
an indepth look at this sophisticated metropolis, rich in culture and
history. Less than an hour’s drive from La Guaira lies Caracas, which
rises 3,164 feet above sea level. Driving through the city, you’ll see
fine examples of colonial architecture comfortably situated alongside
modern, towering skyscrapers.
Aruba
The tiny island of Aruba is only 120
square miles in size, but it’s packed with things to do, whether you’re
interested in duty-free shopping, golfing, or simply spending the day
lying on a white-sand beach. Nature lovers will adore the Butterfly
Farm, a tropical garden that’s home to hundreds of gorgeous
butterflies; and Aruba’s Natural Bridge, which was carved out of rock
by the wind.

Dressing Up - 2 Formal Nights
When you're in port, evening dress is casual, slacks, sweaters,
blouses, open-neck shirts, etc. are typically worn. Shorts, cut-off
T-shirts, "torn" jeans and bare feet are not permitted in the dining
room. For smart casual evenings, passengers dress as they would for a
fine restaurant at home, with ladies in skirts/dresses/ pantsuits and
gentlemen wearing shirts with collars and/or a sports jacket. On formal
nights, typical black tie formal wear is appropriate. Items include
evening gowns and cocktail dresses for ladies and tuxedos, dinner
jackets or dark suits for men. Tuxedo rentals can be arranged prior to
the cruise on certain itineraries.
DINING
Personal Choice Dining allows passengers
the freedom to dine when, where, and with whom they'd like in a number
of settings. Food and service are good throughout the ship. The three
European-style dining rooms—Bernini on Deck 5, Donatello on Deck 6, and
Canaletto on Deck 6—are basically the same in size. Sabatini's
Trattoria has a decent Italian menu with superb risotto and ravioli and
has a person surcharge. The southwestern Desert Rose dishes out good
Tex-Mex fare along with great margaritas and a delicious pumpkin
cheesecake at an $8 per person tab. Other options include snacks,
breakfast, luncheon buffets, and light dinners at the 24-hour Horizon
Court; fresh from the oven pizzas at Prego; hamburgers, hot dogs, and
chicken burgers at the Trident Grill; Häagen-Dazs ice cream from
Sundaes (for a price); afternoon tea served in the Donatello dining
room; and around-the-clock room service.
ENTERTAINMENT
A nonstop, let-us-entertain-you theme
prevails through lavish Broadway-style productions in the Princess
Theatre, with its no-smoking/no-bar-service policy during performances
helping to enhance audience appreciation. Theatre performances and
events include solo pianists, vocalists, cabaret acts,
audience-participation games, first-run movies, bingo, art auctions,
lectures, demonstrations, wine-tasting seminars, ping-pong, line
dancing, shuffleboard, basketball, paddle tennis, golf links, and
virtual reality games. Gaming action takes place in the Atlantis
Casino on Deck 6, which provides a unique, underwater setting enhanced
by fish swimming in holographic walls and a specially woven carpet.
Late-night dancing can be found in the Skywalkers Disco &
Observation Lounge, which is suspended 150 feet above the sea to offer
a kaleidoscope of lighting technology, pulsating music, and
breathtaking views.
