Hi, any Car Rental company at or near Crown Bay?

I think this is a recurrent question that need to be address for a quick reference. This what I found searching, rates are from this year, a few months ago (summer).

Hi,

I will be on a family cruise on November with stop in St. Thomas. Family = On a Budget, so am figuiring out ($$) if is better taking a tour or be on our own. Wife and I we been in ST  before and only interesting in Magens, but want to take the rest of the family (1stimer) to Downtown after Magens.

To those that recently cruise to St. Thomas, please share the current Taxi rates from/to Crown Bay.

First time in Bridgetown, will cruise with my family (Wife, Kids and In-Laws)…..although beach and Harrison Cave will be the obvious choice,  we  will like to explore the downtown....any suggestion/recommendation

ILLUSTRIOUS 

fixed the font so you can read it.

really? already edited......the next time will send my post so you can do the grammar check that browser won't do

By the way, on related topic.....(want to save time not searching)

I remember, back a few years ago, that a wine package was offered only onboard at the main dinning......double check with my Dr and not yet on Alzheimer years........the package was like 3, 5 and 7 bottles or so........do that package is still available?

Easy, just following these steps:

1. Bring one or two empty large suitcase when boarding.

2. Order lots of Redbull cans and don't open them, order at least 10 a day and pack them into suitcase for consumption at home..

3. Order the most expensive beer (probably an IPA) several times in different bars and don't open them, pack them as well to your suitcases for bringing home and drink later..

4. Order several shots of Chivas or some other Whisky straight up, no ice or water (I prefer Gentlemen Jack) and pur them into an empty water bottle. Bring home for future consumption...

5. Drink so much that you crash into bed every night (and the sunbeds on deck for a nap every time before lunch)

 

I have faith in you! I really think that by following these easy steps that you will get the most out of your drink package 😀 

Great advise!!!!!!! will take #3 and #4.....#5 is too much, don't want to outshine some illustrious board members 😛

Hey, as a designer let me say, that font is in no way wedding appropriate! 🤣😂

Ok, ok!!!!!! Pardon for being so naive on the Font issue.....after a few days log in checking why you guys/gals are so damn annoyed by that, I figure it out

Btw, for the benefit of those.......will bold, italic and size it up the Default font......hope this will please your eyes 😛

One of my strategies is asking for a bottle of water when you order a drink.  Over the course of the first few of days I like to load my cabin refrigerator with waters so that I have plenty for the entire week.  On port days I load up my rucksack with with waters for both myself and DW and we stay well hydrated during any tour/excursion we are on.  At $3 a bottle it really helps take a chunk out of the overall cost of the DBP.  Another strategy, if you like OJ, is to make sure you always order the fresh squeezed OJ from one of the servers in the Windjammer at breakfast.  If you are an OJ snob like me you will really appreciate the difference between what they serve to the masses vs. the good fresh squeezed stuff. The OJ is $5 a glass one of those each morning also help to get good value. My final strategy for getting value out of the package is... DON'T DRINK WINDJAMMER COFFEE!  Pick up a Latte or a Cappuccino in the morning before heading in to breakfast.  The two weakest parts of Royal's beverage game are their regular coffee and the previously mentioned OJ.  Stay away from them.

 

Welcome to cruise critic. 

 

 

Great wisdom!!!!!! Thanks!....I now that alcohol topics are "controversial", but you can't expect everyone to be on "frat" mode the hole cruise, that's why I create this topic....so the one that actually done it, manage to master it, can share how they do it........

Figure out the per day price of the package including gratuities Divide that number by $15 (cost of an alcoholic beverage with tip).  Drink that many every day.  Beat the package by adding non alcoholic options such as smoothies, specialty coffees, bottled water, soda.  Voila you did it!

And please change your font.

Thanks! for sharing.....great advise to put it by numbers 👍

Regarding the font, sorry.....the best I can do is size it up 😛

In fairness to Dantorr, surely we can’t expect the bloke who wants strategies for squeezing the last penny out of the Unlimited Beverage Plan to use Courier New? 

Thanks! for the support 👍

When you're on board you'll see a notice for "Friends of Bill W".  Go to the meeting.

Noted! 👍.......Thanks! for the advise, am sure that it will be the best place to share

You might want to change your font so people can read it. I had to enlarge your post to see what it says. Welcome to cc.

 

@John&LaLaoften posts lots of drinks to try.

 

Treeskier kept track to make sure he got more than his moneys worth. 

 

Drink a lot? Is that a strategy? 

Thanks for the advise! just want for the people to share how they beat the DBP, get their money worth, squeeze every penny.....

I know this has to be a burn out topic, some may say controversial......

Been a while since my last cruise, want to start this topic to share your strategies to conquer/get the best/squeeze the last penny of the UBP.

Please, don't be shy......share your wisdom 🤪
