While I’ve reviewed hundreds of airlines, airport lounges, and hotels, this will be my first time ever reviewing a cruise. I recently spent three nights sailing on Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Evrima. I’ve been fascinated by the general trend of luxury hotel groups starting their own cruise lines (well, or more accurately, licensing their names out), and I figured it was finally time to give the concept a try.
In this post, I’d like to provide an in-depth review of the experience, covering everything from the suites, to the ship’s amenities, to dining, to what exactly is included with fares. As I mentioned in a previous post, this was my first cruise in over 20 years, and I walked away with a very favorable impression, and this is absolutely an experience I’d consider repeating. Among other things, I liked the the ship as such, the amenities, the quality of food and drinks, the friendliness of the staff, and the inclusions.
We booked a three-night cruise departing from and returning to San Juan. It was possible to board starting at 12PM (with a deadline of 6:30PM), and it was possible to disembark starting at 7AM (with a deadline of 9:15AM), with a stop in St. John the first day, and a stop in St. Barts the second day.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
