Oceania Regatta Caribbean

Caribbean Cruise #2

We sailed on the Oceania Regatta for this cruise, departing Miami on February 26, 2006 and returned on March 8, 2006.  We then drove to Vero Beach and spent a week with Jim and Debbie, my brother.  Sister Barb and Jim visited while we were there.

The ship was beautiful.  Perhaps the most refined atmosphere we had previously experienced.

The suite on this ship was the best.  Huge size, almost 1000 sqft located on the rear of the ship.  It included a large balcony.  The ride at the back of the ship was just fine on this ship.

The St. Kitts railway circled the island and once served as a narrow gauge train to move the harvested sugar cane to the processing centers.  The sugar industry is long gone from the island.
