Windjammer Mandalay

Pros: Excellent, the best vacation ever..
Cons: None

I highly recommend going on the Windjammer Barefoot Cruises. The Fantome was the one we were on a couple of years ago.

Going on a Windjammer Barefoot Cruise was the best vacation I ever had. My fiance and I went, leaving the offsprings with...

Pros: The food, the fun, the friendliness, about everything....
Cons: We're not still there :-(

Let me start out by saying that before this cruise, I had no desire to go on a "foo-foo" ship cruise, and now that I have been on a Windjammer, I have even less. This honeymoon was quite simply the vacation of our dreams, living up to everything we...

Pros: Relaxing, casual, goes into small coves, meeting fun people.
Cons: No luxury

If you like laid back vacations with small groups and no formalities, this is the cruise for you. I went with my husband in April 2005. We visited Tortola, and small islands in the area. The Mandalay is a magnificient vessel. It has beautiful woodwork. ...

Pros: small ports, good company, interesting ports
Cons: cannot dress up and wear all my jewels

This was the first time we did it! Imagine having the guts to take a two week Windjammer Cruise when we had never sailed before. Sure, we owned a small twenty foot putt-putt on the south shore of Long Island, N.Y., but a two week cruise? When we...

Pros: Casual, adventure, romantic, intimate.
Cons: None

The Mandalay was the first ship my wife and I sailed on in this fleet of sailing ships. And what a beautiful experience it was. We sailed from Antigua to Grenada stopping off at such islands as Isles de Saintes, Nevis, Bequie, St.Lucia and...

Pros: Less passengers, unique destinations, causal atmosphere
Cons: departure ports

We took the Grenada to Venezuela cruise in June of 1999. The ship is an older sailing ship. We sailed (instead of engine power) most of the cruise. The sailing was great and sleeping on the top deck under the stars shouldn't be missed. The food is...

Pros: The most relaxing cruise I have ever taken.
Cons: If you get the slightest sea-sick, this is not the cruse for you.

My husband and I had not been on a vacation alone together in 7 years. We had previously been aboar ...

Pros: Groups and activities for all age groups.
Cons: Weather in summer can be awful.

Having been on this cruise for myself I can safely say that there is always something to do. There's a group for kids aged 7-12 and group for teenagers 13+, so you can leave them to get on with whatever you want to! There's a variety of different sized...
