  1. I would recommend Sandcastle on the Beach for you two as it sounds like the best fit. They have a great beachfront restaurant with excellent service as well as chair and umbrella rentals and plenty of people to help you.

     

    Drake,

    How long would it take to go from Sandcastle to the Cruzan Rum Tour, take the tour, and get back to the cruise ship.

  2. Coming in by ship?

    If so, you'll want to stick to the west end.

    In that case, Turtles After Dark or Freedom City are your best bet.

    Pink Spot is pretty good but they are closed til July and I don't know what their schedule will be yet.

     

    What is good to do during the day around Freedom City? We are coming in by cruise ship for the day.

  3. Pier 69 is open Wednesday-Sunday for Lunch and Dinner, plus Saturday-Sunday breakfast.

     

    Villa Morales is open for Lunch and Dinner Thursday-Saturday.

     

    Blue Moon is open for Dinner (and occasionally Lunch) Wednesday-Saturday, if there is a big ship on Sunday they will usually open up for it.

     

    Where can you go on Tuesday?

  4. $65us pp for Rendezvous, along with either $10 one way taxi ride or 20 or so minute walk. $100us pp for Sandals with taxi ride between $15-35 one way depending on which Sandals...you can book direct with resort, best to do so in advance.

     

    What comes with the day pass (lunch, pool use,...)? BTW - thanks for your help!

  5. Speedboat is pretty rough. Spencer was running late on a very busy day and some passengers got into a shouting arch with spencer, just an unfortunate day for everyone. Spencer generally gets good reviews

     

    The ride on the speedboat is pretty exciting. I am 69 and my wife is 68 but we weren't that bothered. One lady on the front of the boat was scared to death so everybody let her get to the back of the boat and she was OK after that. Other than that everybody had a good time. I personally enjoyed the ride.

     

    It always amazes me how people act anyway. Spencer gave us a time and location to be that morning. People were dragging in late and causing everybody problems. It is a complete disrespect for everyone else on the tour much less Spencer.

     

    Ran into the same thing on the same cruise in St. Martin. We had a great tour going, stopped for lunch, and some folks just couldn't get back to the bus without being 20 minutes late. It cost us some fun on the next part of the excursion.

     

    It amazes me how well the tour operators cope with it but I guess they have to maintain their image. But I guess I don't like people feeling entitled anyway.

     

    I will say it again, we had a great time with Spencer and his people.

  6. We had a great time with Spencer Ambrose in April on the Land and Sea Tour. Instead of spending time riding on crooked roads we blasted along the coastline in a boat (oh yes). The lunch we had was good with local foods and his people were very nice. The trip back to Castries was very good as they dipped into coves and showed us where some celebrities lived. We spent time on Jalousie Beach and there was plenty of drinks (water, soft drinks, beer, and rum punch). Good luck.
