Reply To: JoCo Cruise Crazy 3: Port Excursions
Yay! People who’ve been to these islands before! Here’s what I posted in the “All About the Ship” section:
St. Maarten & St. Thomas are both new to me. Based on various
Cruise Critic and Tripadvisor reviews, I will probably be most
interested in doing a land-based tour of the island that includes a
beach stop or two (e.g. Godfrey’s or Bernard’s or Joyce Prince) or a water-based tour of the island with some snokeling thrown in (e.g. Soualiga or Fury or Random Wind).
I love planning for vacations so I’ve got more info but should I be
posting that stuff in one of the other threads since this one’s suppose
to be “All About the Ship”?BTW, other than Coco Cay, which we will have all to ourselves, we’re going to have lots of company at our ports:
2/11, Coco Cay – 1 ship = Freedom of the Seas 3634 passengers
2/13,
St. Thomas – including FOS, 4 ships w/13578 passengers total(!); other
ships = Carnival Glory 10am-6pm, HAL Eurodam 8am-5pm, NCL Epic 8am-4pm2/14,
St. Maarten – Celebrity Summit will be in port with us from 8am-6pm,
which means 5584 combined passengers between the 2 ships
I like to take a general/survey tour with a local the first time I visit a new island. If I can time it right, I would love to join the trip to That Yoda Guy’s shop/museum. I’m also thinking about getting a cabana or caba-nette if they’re not all taken by the suites and higher Crown & Anchor members (alas, I am just a lowly Gold) but I’m perfectly fine with forgoing the extra cost if we decide to ban together and scope out a piece of the beach for the Sea Monkeys to claim.
