The weather is wonderful. Year round temperatures are typically in the mid 80’s, with fresh breezes during the day, and mid 70’s at night. Occasional rain showers are typical, but then the sun shines more brightly afterwards, as if to apologize!
If you've experienced motion sickness in the past, or aren't sure how you'll adjust, please bring your preferred remedy with you. Most motion sickness medications aren't effective if taken after you start feeling sick. Play it safe if you're not sure, and take your medication before you set sail!
The US dollar is accepted in most ports. Small denominations are best, as you may receive change in local currency.
The Euro is preferred in French ports.
Visa and MasterCard are accepted in most shops and restaurants. Avoid fraud alerts and pesky holds on your credit card by notifying the issuing bank of your intended foreign travel.
A tip of $200 per guest, per week is suggested. Gratuities are payable by credit card at the end of your cruise.
Most cell phone carriers provide international roaming service on Caribbean networks. Call your provider to ensure you have coverage, and ask about cost-saving international service plans.
The ships do not have WIFI. There are Internet cafés on some of the islands.
You may help yourself to the included beverages at any time. If you'd like liquor that isn't carried on board, there is no charge to bring your own with you. Pick it up at the duty free on your way down, or at a local market before you board.
Depending upon availability, we provide Cola, Diet Cola, Sprite, Ginger Ale and Tonic Water.
Can you play the kazoo? Have you mastered the art of strumming the guitar on your front porch swing? If you’re wildly entertaining, or mildly talented, bring your instrument along for the ride. Some guests enjoy center stage, while others just like to watch.
While we’re on the subject, bring your iPod, and take your turn at the dock. See what we did there? He-he.
The Windwards
The Windward Islands are small, beautiful, and far from the crowds. Island tours in some ports of call can be arranged with local taxi drivers. The main activities on the Windwards itinerary are swimming, snorkeling, strolling around local villages, and....relaxing!
The British Virgins | Leewards | French West Indies
These Islands are larger, more populated, and have a wide variety of activities and things to do. The Operations Manager will review things to do on your own, as well as a variety of optional extra excursions (not included in your cruise fare).
OF BEACH DAYS AND BEACH SIPS
Please do not bring beverages ashore from the ship, as local vendors earn their livelihood selling drinks and renting chairs in some ports of call. When permissible, the crew will bring a beverage cooler to the beach for your enjoyment.
HOW ABOUT SNORKELING AND SCUBA?
Snorkel gear is available onboard at no cost. If you are interested in scuba diving, research diving opportunities prior to sailing, and make arrangements while on board.
LOOK SUNSATIONAL
The sun can be your best friend and give you a big dose of vitamin D — or your worst enemy. We strongly suggest using a high SPF sunscreen, and applying it often. We want you to look like you’ve been frolicking in paradise, not bathing in a cauldron of hot water. While we’re on the subject of encouraging… avoid insect bites by using insect repellent anytime you are outside. Apply after sunscreen.
Dress on board is casual. Ladies and gents planning to dine ashore may want to pack a sundress or a pair of trousers. Bath towels are provided, as are hair dryers.
Cabins have A/C and 110V electric outlets. CPAP machines are okay to bring if you re-quire one. Pack light. Cabin storage space is limited. Did we say pack light? Why yes, yes we did.
DON’T FORGET YOUR BOARDING INSTRUCTIONS, RETURN FLIGHT
INFORMATION, AND PASSPORTS. KEEP THEM IN YOUR HAND LUGGAGE,
ALONG WITH YOUR MEDICATION.
