In our last post, I promised to post photos of the WindSurf from our recent cruise in Italy & Croatia. The photo link is below, but I also want to add a few comments…
Although WindSurf looks unlike a traditional cruise ship from the outside, the interior is very much like many ships. It is very comfortable for someone looking for the Lounge, the Dining Room, or a Specialty Dining alternative. It’s very stable; we had only one night of ‘some’ motion and the winds were such that I’m sure ANY cruise ship in the area had motion, as well. The cabin is designed to look like more of a yacht-type accommodation, than a cruise ship, but you’ll find all of the same amenities, but with maybe more storage (the storage was really great). What you don’t find is a crowd. With only 310 guests, it’s very relaxed, with no lines, no competition for best seats in the lounge, etc. If you’ve only cruised on large ships, it’s difficult to imagine how much better the experience can be on a smaller vessel (maybe ask someone who’s taken a river cruise).
Regardless of which of the Windstar Cruises’ yacht ships you might select, you’ll have an upscale experience – trust me!
Now for those photos……
