Hahahaha! Ok I understand how lucky I am!... I prefer not to experience the hell even if I take the risk to appreciate a little bit less the heaven.. if I am in a big ship having such experiences I will probably jump to the sea in the middle of the ocean!

No worries, I will not come back to you if my fellow cruisers are over 65.. my parents are that age and are very lively and cheerful. You never know!

SeaDream is not for everyone, but it sounds as if you are the lucky few who will really enjoy it. Check the SeaDream website and look at your particular cruise. It should show the excursions that will be offered. Some will be snorkeling trips or beaches. The beaches are beautiful, and not crowded because the big ships can't get to these places. In St. Barts there might be an ATV trip. A couple we talked to on the cruise we just got off had a great time on the ATV. Bear in mind, though, that some excursions may be cancelled for lack of enrollment. Some people are quite content to simply stay on the yacht while it is in port. They enjoy just relaxing at the pool, swimming off the marina or using the water toys. There were a couple of ports last week at which we chose to stay on board because we aren't really beach fans, except for the beach party, which you will likely have at Jost. Unless you are from Paris, you will really enjoy the shopping in St. Barts. Exchange rate between the USD and the Euro, however, has made it a bit more expensive than before for us.

 

Last week there were no kiddies, and the age range ran from 30's to 70's (but 70's who don't behave like they are that old). And only about half the guest were from the US. Others were from Canada, Mexico, England, Australia, Netherlands and Norway.

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP TrapperZimmy. The age range is not as i thought but better if it starts from 30'. :)

Thanks so much Cabosal for your post! The description sounds really fantastic! This is what we are looking for !

Thanks so much Zqvol for your comments! They help us a lot! Best regards :D

We have over 100 nights on Sea Dream. , and have been to all of your stops with them, except Antigua where you board. The ship is old, but well maintained. The food is some of the best you will find on any ship at sea. The cabins are small but well appointed. Service is top notch. We love all of the port that you are visiting. The only problem you might have is if children are on board, there is nothing for them to do, and it doesn't take many for them to take over the ship as the passenger load is approximately 100.

 

You shoudl have a great holiday!

Thanks so much Keith for your suggestion. I will do that.

Hi! I am turning 40 soon and my husband and I are planning a 7 days Caribbean cruise at the end of March. The ship departs from Antigua and the itinerary is Antilla, St Barts, Virgin Gorda, Tortola, Norman Island and Jost Van Dyke.

Has anyone done this cruise? I have read that the ship is a little bit old but the experience is very good (this is the first time we book a cruise and we thought about SD because we don't like big ships) . What we would like to know is whether the ports of call, excursions, beaches, etc are worth it or not as we are travelling from Europe.

Thanks so much for your help and comments!
