Overall trip was great...Dawn Princess is a beautiful ( and huge )ship. Crew was excellent and very friendly.

We especially liked St. Lucia, took the Land/Sea excursion there which was a guided tour by bus to the Pitons/Sulphur
Springs/Botanical Garden, then a sail back to Castries and the ship via catamarran. hada great time on this excursion.

St. Maarten was the shopping highlight of the trip, seemed like the further we delved into the marketplace, the better the
bargains got.

Martinique was the downer of the trip. After waiting out a rainstorm on the dock, we didn't make it more than 5 feet out the
gate when an idiot on a motor bike rode up and snatched the purse right off my wife's arm. We followed this up with a NICE
:( 3 hour stay in the police station where noone could or would speak english. Iive heard this was the second such incident
that day and wished the ship and line would've at the very least given us a warning. It would not bother me if they dropped
Martinique from their itineray all together.

This was our honeymoon, and other than the incident on Martinique, would highly recommend the Dawn..!!!!! She really is
BIG tho', met a couple from Canada on deck as we left San Juan, never saw them again for the entire trip.

Back to Dawn Princess
