4 Nights Bahamas: Great Stirrup Cay from Tampa, Florida Cruise

Extraordinary experience aboard the Super yacht Luminara

I was very fortunate to get to sail on the Ritz Carlton Luminara superyacht last week. This exceeded my expectations in every area. The attention to detail on the ship was exceptional. No expense was spared to create a very soothing luxurious relaxing experience. Gorgeouse fresh flowers adorn every table and corner of the ship. All of the rooms are suites that are thoughtfully appointed with the best toiletries and snacks. Each suite comes woth your own personal butler. Michele was absolutely perfect. The joy and pride of each and every crew member was evident at every interaction. I am vegan so I never have high expectations of the menu option. But the 7 course tasting menu I had blew me away. The shopping experience is relaxing and enjoyable. The pool and common areas never feel crowded. But also there is a subtle luxurious vibe throughout the ship as if you are all sharing in a truly special experience.

Excellent ship and crew , love it

wow , what a great ship , classy we booked last minute , we never book that high , but no noise problems , no rocking right out side the elevator, Wren/ Ren our cabin steward was fantastic . Room , needed a little help Fridge did not work light switch by the bed did not work balcony had old paint on it shower held water , did not drain fast , but a big shower not a round shower , long shower, my husbdan is 6 ft 200 lbs But overall the cabin was fine , we ordered extra blankets and pillow as the air vent is over the bed a giant square , you can of course tunn up the air to make it warmer, but then it gets stuffy. When docked in Nassau , we were on the Ocean Side which was vey nice seeing all the yatchts go by and see Atlantis in the back ground . We ate dinner evey nigh in the Magenta d-room with Heidi she and all were excellent our first time eating in the D-room in a long time as we normally do the have it all package . The food was very good and the mangers stop and ask if eveything is ok. we loved the seating area down past the whisky bar the cocktail server , I think his name is Kaleik , new us by name and had our drinks when we sat down. The great outdoor cafe was nice outside buffet Great bar for Sunsets , it is very busy the day your board Nice lounges The ship did not feel like a sold out ship My husband and I were on rented scooters and we had no problems getting around . We did the outside to get from point a to point b WE even got to go the out island with our scooters , you have to take the tender with an elevator . They had very nice shows on board . Disembarkation was very easy with our scooters , we just got up early had breakfast and got off. Plenty of chairs by the pool adult pool and kids pool all on the same deck . he fit in the shower not problem .

A unique cruise among Fijian islands.

A great week cruising among the Yasawa islands of Fiji. The ship is small, about 30 cabins, and the cabins are compact. (As a solo traveller I was fine, two people would have to be a little more organized!). The shower has a typical small vessel bathroom with a marine shower, which means the entire room serves as the shower, so the entire floor will probably get wet. If you shower too vigorously, or shower two vigorously, the entire bathroom will get wet. The ship is well maintained, paint and woodwork clean and new-looking. Food was generally fine, with some exceptions. The itinerary includes a lot of wonderful snorkeling opportunities - coral reefs, sharks, manta rays and an abundance of fish. The islands are picturesque, the weather was ideal, and the ship’s staff were always smiling and ready to help. The cruise is closer to being an expedition cruise rather than a pampered vacation, a wonderful experience.
