In 2017 my family visited Good Hope Plantation through the cruise line out of Montego Bay. It was a very beautiful and interesting area, the history of the place and the breathtaking views from the main house. It included a tour of the house and some of the yard. The excursion also included a beautiful water slide and pool time. Our tour guides weren't the greatest, and communication wasn't great, but it was memorable.

Hi,

I made a reservation inquiry for April 1, 2026 and heard back that they are sold out. I'm shocked that it would be full this far ahead.

Any thoughts or ideas for a comparable spot? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I made a cruise change today and paid my $250 (for 5 people change fee).

Stupidly, I boooked the incorrect week for the future spring break cruise (my husband and I are both teachers and we have to do the cruise during the school spring break, no options.

If I call first thing tomorrow and beg, do you think they would waive the change fee for me and let me switch it to the following week?

What could I say that might help!

Thanks,

Hi! When I opened my planner, I received an offer for an upgrade to both of my booked rooms for a cruise on Vista, Dec 28 2024.

The upgrade cost was $530. If I accept, do I have to pay that amount, or can it be added to my bill?

Hi! I am going Dec 2024, so I will await your report from March! That's awesome  that they include the snorkel and beach gear!

Hi! Thank you for the reply! I am very interested in Baby Beach, fid you like it? Did you snorkel there too? I was thinking about the butterfly sanctuary, but it is heading the opposite way. Then wondering if we should head to Arashi or Boca Catalina instead. Did you stop anywhere for food/shopping?

Hi! I have a tentative rental request with Jay's rentals on the go. Family of 5 with 16, 14 and 13 year old. Interested in a variety of activities and some beach time. Our second time in Aruba, but would be the first with a rental car.

In Port from 8am to 5pm.

Thanks!

Well, I'm going to assume that the tour will be about 6 hours long.  Part of it may be at dusk?  Hoping for the best!  

Yes!  We were able to book the west side tour with Irie Tours!  Excited to see the natural beauty of the island and our kids are looking forward to swimming with the turtles!

Hello everyone, We are on the Magic going into Curacao on Dec. 25th.  In port from 1pm to 11pm.  We are a family of 5, with kiddos aged 8,9 and 12.  We are looking for advice of an outing.  We have looked at Irie Tours, Dolphin Encounter/Sea Aquarium, Beach Visits (don't know where?) and the idea of just walking around the town and seeing what we see.  Our kids like swimming and the beach, not so much into snorkeling.  We also would like to be back on the ship for dinner at 6pm, which has made it harder to plan.  Just looking for ideas.

Thanks!

Hello everyone, My family of 5 is sailing on the Magic and coming back Dec 29 - I am choosing between the Windjammer or Sea Spray Inn at LBTS or wondering if I should splurge on Lago Mar or Pelican?  We won't have a car.  Flying out of Miami on the way back.  Looking for a great pool, beach time and walking to restaurants, etc.  Three kids will be 8,9 and 12.  Thanks!
