PORTS OF CALL
San Juan, Puerto Rico
As your vessel navigates the deep blue channel into San Juan Bay, you are greeted by the same formidable sight that once deterred empires and pirates like Sir Francis Drake: the stone ramparts of Castillo San Felipe del Morro. While the age of swashbucklers is long past, their wake has left an island of profound national treasures, making San Juan far more than a point of departure—it is a destination demanding its own chapter in your travelogue. We encourage you to bookend your cruise with a few days here, allowing the city’s rhythm to fully envelop you.
**Pre-Cruise Immersion: A Walk Through 500 Years of History**
Arrive a day or two early to decompress and transition into vacation mode. Settle into your accommodations, perhaps a restored colonial hotel within the walled city or a chic beachfront resort in nearby Condado. Your first exploration should be on foot, through the enchanting streets of Old San Juan. The blue-hued adoquín cobblestones, cast from furnace slag and brought over as ballast in Spanish galleons, pave your way through a vibrant grid of pastel-hued townhomes with intricate ironwork balconies overflowing with bougainvillea.
Dedicate your first full day to the UNESCO World Heritage sites that define the city’s skyline. Begin at the six-level citadel of **Castillo San Felipe del Morro**. Walk the sprawling, windswept lawn where soldiers once drilled and children now fly kites, and explore the sentry boxes, barracks, and cannon batteries that guarded the entrance to the Caribbean for centuries. The panoramic views of the Atlantic are simply breathtaking. From there, stroll along the city walls to its larger counterpart, **Castillo San Cristóbal**, a masterpiece of 18th-century military engineering designed to protect against land-based attacks. Venture into its tunnels and stand in the famous “Garita del Diablo” (Devil’s Sentry Box), shrouded in legend.
For lunch, step away from the main thoroughfares and find a local fonda for an authentic taste of *comida criolla*. This is your opportunity to try a classic *mofongo*—a savory mound of mashed plantains, garlic, and olive oil, often filled with succulent pork, shrimp, or chicken. In the afternoon, delve deeper into the city’s heritage. Visit the final resting place of the island’s first governor, Juan Ponce de León, at the magnificent **Catedral de San Juan Bautista**. Nearby, tour **La Casa Blanca**, a fortified residence built for his family in 1521, now a museum offering a glimpse into 16th- and 17th-century life. As evening descends, enjoy a handcrafted cocktail at a rooftop bar overlooking the harbor before indulging in a sophisticated dinner at one of Old San Juan’s celebrated restaurants, where chefs artfully fuse Taíno, Spanish, and African culinary traditions.
**Post-Cruise Exploration: Beyond the City Walls**
After your cruise, with the relaxed pace of the sea still with you, use your extra days to explore the island’s diverse character. Venture beyond the old city to experience modern Puerto Rican life and stunning natural beauty.
One compelling option is a day trip to **El Yunque National Forest**, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. A short drive from San Juan, this lush wonderland offers well-maintained hiking trails that lead you through a canopy of giant ferns and tabonuco trees, past cascading waterfalls, and to observation towers with sweeping views of the coast. The cool, misty air and the symphony of coqui frogs provide a restorative contrast to the sun-drenched city.
For a different kind of cultural immersion, explore the dynamic neighborhood of Santurce. Known for its vibrant street art and murals, Santurce is the city’s creative pulse. Visit the **Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico**, which houses a comprehensive collection of Puerto Rican art from the 17th century to the present. In the evening, experience the energy of **La Placita de Santurce**. A humble farmer’s market by day, it transforms at night into a bustling open-air block party, where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy live music, dance salsa in the streets, and sample food from the surrounding kiosks and restaurants. It’s an authentic, joyous, and unforgettable experience.
Alternatively, you can dedicate your post-cruise time to pure relaxation. The golden sands of Isla Verde and Condado Beach are lined with resorts and beach clubs, offering the perfect setting to unwind with a book and a piña colada—a cocktail famously invented right here in San Juan. Or, for a taste of the island’s most famous export, take a ferry across the bay to Cataño for a tour of the **Casa Bacardí** distillery, where you can learn about the history of rum and master the art of mixing the perfect mojito.
San Juan is a city of layers, where colonial history, vibrant arts, world-class cuisine, and breathtaking nature converge. By extending your stay, you transform your cruise from a simple voyage into a deep, enriching cultural journey, allowing you the time and space to truly connect with the heart and soul of the “Island of Enchantment.”
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.
Charlotte Amalie is the heavy hitter of Caribbean cruising—energetic, scenic, and frequently crowded. While often marketed solely as a duty-free shopping haven, the island offers substantial rewards for those willing to look past the jewelry stores lining Main Street. The town itself is a steep amphitheater of red-roofed Danish colonial buildings rising from the harbor. For history buffs, a walk up the "99 Steps" (built from ship ballast bricks) or a visit to the red-walled Fort Christian provides context often missed by the average shopper.
Most visitors are here for the water. Magens Bay is the headline attraction—a heart-shaped, protected cove that is visually stunning but often packed with fellow cruisers. For a more relaxed experience with superior snorkeling, we recommend Sapphire Beach or the pristine, protected sands of Smith Bay Park (Lindquist Beach). If your ship docks at Havensight, the Skyride to Paradise Point offers the classic Caribbean vista and a convenient spot for a local Bushwacker cocktail.
Crucial Logistics: St. Thomas has two distinct cruise piers: Havensight (closer to town/Skyride) and Crown Bay (further west). Be sure to check your docking location, as it dictates your walking options. Traffic in Charlotte Amalie can be gridlocked in the afternoons; always pad your return time. Getting around is best done via "safari" taxis—converted open-air trucks. They are efficient and affordable, but confirm the fare before boarding. For those who have visited St. Thomas before, the ferry to neighboring St. John offers a quieter, more natural escape, though it requires careful time management.
Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Tortola is the lush, mountainous heart of the British Virgin Islands, offering a more subdued and nature-focused experience than many of its Caribbean neighbors. The port at Road Town is primarily a gateway, and the island’s true appeal is found by exploring its winding roads and hidden coves.
A short taxi ride leads to Cane Garden Bay, a classic Caribbean crescent of white sand and calm, turquoise water, lined with casual beach bars. For a more secluded experience, Smuggler’s Cove offers excellent snorkeling in a protected bay. For panoramic views, a trip to Sage Mountain National Park reveals a canopy of tropical forest and trails overlooking the surrounding archipelago.
A visit to the Callwood Rum Distillery in Cane Garden Bay provides a rustic glimpse into the island's past. This centuries-old, family-run operation still uses original equipment, offering a truly authentic taste of local history. Tortola is best suited for travelers seeking stunning scenery and a relaxed pace, rather than extensive shopping or numerous historical landmarks.
Basseterre, St. Kitts
St. Kitts stands out in the Caribbean for its dramatic topography and deep colonial history, offering a richer experience than the standard beach-only destination. The island is dominated by dormant volcanoes and lush rainforests, providing a backdrop that feels wilder and more rugged than many of its neighbors.
The premier attraction is undoubtedly Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this massive British fortification sits high atop a volcanic hill. It requires a bit of a climb, but the panoramic views across the Caribbean Sea to Sint Eustatius and Saba are spectacular. It is a genuine highlight for history enthusiasts and photographers alike, well worth the entry fee and the drive.
For a more relaxed tour of the landscape, the St. Kitts Scenic Railway is unique in the region. Originally built to transport sugar cane, the double-decker train loops around the coast, offering a comfortable way to see the villages and countryside that are otherwise hard to access. Alternatively, a stop at Romney Manor offers a blend of nature and culture; the botanical gardens feature a magnificent 400-year-old Saman tree and house Caribelle Batik, where you can watch local artisans at work.
If a beach day is your priority, we advise skipping the Atlantic side and heading to the Southeast Peninsula. The drive itself is scenic, crossing the narrow isthmus with views of both oceans. South Friars Bay and Cockleshell Bay offer the best calm waters and soft sands, lined with casual beach bars facing the peak of Nevis.
Basseterre itself is a bustling, authentic Caribbean town rather than a sanitized tourist trap. While Port Zante is filled with standard duty-free shops, a walk into the town center reveals the Circus—modeled after Piccadilly in London—and Independence Square, a poignant reminder of the island's history as a former slave market. We recommend prioritizing the island tour or the peninsula beaches, using the town primarily for a brief historical stroll before returning to the ship.
St. John's, Antigua
St. John's is the vibrant gateway to Antigua, an island that offers a compelling blend of classic Caribbean leisure and significant British naval history. While the port city itself is a bustling hub of colorful colonial-era architecture and duty-free shopping at Heritage Quay, the island's true treasures require a short journey.
For anyone with an interest in history, the essential destination is Nelson's Dockyard. Located in English Harbour (a scenic 30-minute taxi ride), this meticulously restored 18th-century naval base is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only continuously working Georgian dockyard in the world. It’s a living museum where you can walk the same cobblestones as Admiral Nelson, explore the Dockyard Museum, and enjoy lunch at a waterside café. For a breathtaking perspective, arrange for your driver to take you up to the Shirley Heights lookout for one of the most iconic panoramic views in the Caribbean.
Of course, Antigua is legendary for its beaches. While the claim of 365 beaches is a charming piece of local lore, you only need one for a perfect day. Dickenson Bay is a popular choice, offering calm waters, beach bars, and water sports. For a more serene experience, ask a driver to take you to the powdery sands of Valley Church Beach or Ffryes Beach on the southwest coast.
Our advice: Plan your day. The best of Antigua lies beyond the immediate port. A pre-arranged taxi or a shore excursion is the most efficient way to experience the island's unique combination of historical depth and stunning natural beauty.
Castries, St. Lucia
St. Lucia is defined by its dramatic topography, distinguishing it from flatter Caribbean neighbors. The island’s visual signature is the Pitons, twin volcanic spires rising from the sea—a UNESCO World Heritage site that creates one of the most spectacular backdrops in the tropics. However, visitors must understand the island's geography to maximize their time ashore.
Ships dock in Castries, located on the northwest coast, while the iconic Pitons, the drive-in volcano, and the therapeutic Sulphur Springs are located south in Soufrière. This presents a logistical reality: reaching the island's premier sights requires a commitment. The road to Soufrière is incredibly scenic but notoriously winding, taking over an hour each way. For those prone to motion sickness, or simply wanting to maximize sightseeing time, a water-based transfer or catamaran excursion is the superior choice. The reward is substantial: walking through botanical gardens, soaking in mineral-rich mud baths, and viewing the peaks from the water.
If a full day of travel feels too ambitious, the north offers excellent, accessible alternatives. Marigot Bay, a stunning natural harbor, is a short drive away and ideal for a relaxed lunch. Further north, Pigeon Island National Landmark is a standout, combining 18th-century British military ruins with approachable hiking trails and quiet beaches. Nearby Rodney Bay offers the island’s most popular stretch of sand, Reduit Beach. For a quick taste of local culture near the ship, the Castries Market remains a bustling hub for spices and local crafts, though it is best visited in the morning before the midday heat.

TS does not appear in the 2017-2018 Fleetwide Recategorization Grid for any ship class, nor on CruiseMapper, CruiseDeckPlans, or RCI's site for Brilliance. It may be a third-party booking system code, a data entry error, or a very old code predating the 2017 grid. The closest candidate might be VT (Ocean View Suite 2-Bedroom No Balcony), which exists on sister ships Radiance and Serenade but NOT on Brilliance.

You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport

A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable
