If you go to the one in Cozumel (Chankanaab Park), you will have acces to very good snorkeling.(extra admission charge for Chankanaab)

 

If it were me, I would prefer the Cozumel location. I can not say enough about the Chankanaab Park location, and attractions there.

 

Thank you. I think we will probably go to the one in Cozumel, especially since you say the snorkeling is good there. Just one more question: :o You seemed to be pretty close to the dolphin encounter. (At least close enough to get pictures.) I really didn't want to do the encounter but my daughters (teenagers) both do. Would I be able to get a good view of them doing it or is the area roped off? Not so much for pictures but would love to watch them. (Then again, they may need an adult with them anyway.)

Thanks again for taking us on your cruise. :)

Wow..Finally got through all those posts.

Thank you SO much for posting the pictures. We are sailing the Freedom next April for the first time and are very excited.

A few questions (if you don't mind :o)

Did it seem really crowded in Cozumel with those other ships there? We want to do a dolphin swim on this next cruise and are debating whether we should do it in Cozumel or Grand Cayman (which I didn't even know had the dolphin swim!) That is the busiest day with about 17,000 passengers in port! :eek:

 

In Ocho Rios, the resort that you mentioned wanting to go to next time (can't remember the name right now but you took a picture of it). Was that far from the pier? And do you know if they have day passes or do they just allow cruise passengers to go there?

 

Thanks again for the great trip report and photos. I always follow your threads whether or not I'm sailing on those particular ships. You sure have a knack for these live postings and you should be given a commission. :D

Hi Radio. Just moving this up because I think you may have missed this posting and someone else on the thread was also interested in the resort in Ocho Rios.

Thanks again!

I'm leaving on the Pride this Sunday and a group of us are planning on going to Stone Island for the day. From what I heard from a friend you don't have to pay rent at Victor's, just a tip when you leave at the end of the day. We are also planning on renting some ATV's on the beach. A friend just got back and they said it was awesome. I seriously can't wait. I'll post some pics when I get back.

Great. Enjoy your cruise. :D

You can set anywhere you want at Victors if you are drinking or eating there....here is a photo of the water taxi's you will take.

 

Thank you for the picture. For some reason I had images of a real old klunker that would break down on us on the way. :eek:

Do you have to pay to rent the chairs and umbrellas at Victors?

Also, does anyone have a picture of the boat that we will take over to Stone Island? Since I am the "planner", I just want to make sure I know what to look for. Do they run often back and forth? Thanks in advance.
