Windstar Cruises' Wind Surf Ship Tour and Review 2019

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of a seven night Caribbean celebration cruise aboard the Windstar Cruises Wind Surf, which is the largest sailing vessel in their fleet. They note that while the ship is smaller than typical mega ships, its size allows for access to unique islands like Barbuda and the British Virgin Islands that larger vessels cannot reach. The reviewers highlight the intimate atmosphere, the open bridge policy, and the high ratio of crew to guests, which resulted in personalized service. They describe various amenities including the signature marina for watersports, multiple outdoor bars, and specialty dining options like the outdoor steakhouse, Candles. While the food quality was generally good, particularly during the signature barbecue deck party, the creators observed that the staterooms and some public areas appeared dated and in need of cosmetic updates. They conclude that the cruise experience focuses heavily on destination exploration rather than organized onboard activities. Despite the lack of structured daytime entertainment and some wear and tear on the vessel, they found the trip to be an engaging and relaxing way to experience the Caribbean.
