Is the restaurant named Passions or does Amsterdam Manor has another. I’m assuming chairs and umbrellas are for rent. 

Horizon and passions are two restaurants on the beach there. And yes you can rent chairs and umbrellas too. 

I would rent a car in Bonaire. It’s often cheaper and you’ll get to spend more time at the places you visit. 

Amsterdam Manor Hotel is were we disembark the bus. Everything you need is there.

I would totally disagree w this.  If you try to find accurate information on the cruise company's WEB site you will often get inaccurate information and almost always promises that the cruise company wants you to believe will happen on the cruise.  

 

DON

Can you give an example?

The best place to get information is most often the cruise line's website.  Often you'll hear what people wish were true on forums.

Ruins or snorkeling (second only to Bonaire in the Caribbean).  

Cave tubing or snorkeling (second only to Bonaire in the Caribbean)

Let me pop a PartySmart and I’ll follow along.

Having fun is what those parties are about. 

Cucumber Sunrise

Thirsty Frog (a beer)

Skinny Mojito

Coconut Martini 

Old Town San Juan is amazing lots of interesting buildings (plus the forts) and things to do. 
 

in Puerto Plata you could go to Damajagua Falls.

Hire a private driver for Cozumel.  He took us to the ruins, a chocolate factory, a beach, and tequila tasting.  The beaches in coz are not very exciting.  We have also be to Mr.  Sanchos.

We like Megan’s bay in St Thomas, but it can get crowded. 

If you see something you like you should book it. The popular tours tend to sell out. 

Terminal. They moved the Panorama to off site parking. 

Yup not much there. Just a few stalls selling the same old souvenirs. There is a Starbucks, however I wouldn’t recommend walking to it.

I wonder if the California law means that hotels will have to advertise the price including taxes and resort fees and taxes.

If they do business in California they will have too.

I for one like this.

Excellent views.  We found the path not too hard, but YMMV.

Did you mean the Sky Bar in Amber Cove?

2 sea days is about as much as I, or more importantly, my wife can handle. We enjoy the lounging around and relaxing, but we we can do that at home.

Do the Firenze. Newer ship and better ports. 

The only thing that I found gross on the breakfast buffet were the eggs.

We considered this itinerary for our June cruise, but 8 days and only 3 ports was too many sea days for my wife, so we booked AB + 2 stops in DR.  Will be following along.
