Thank you! That was really helpful! I started researching a little bit about excursions in ABC islands and it seems there is definitely a lot of activities to choose From so seems like ABC in the clear winner here.

Yes I’ve actually been to Nassau several times on cruise ships, that’s why not really excited about it!

Oh really!!? So Turks has a lot of rocky beaches? Not good then. And what is HMC?

I’m sorry but I thought that was exactly what this board was for??? And I do have a travel Agent btw. Im just confused as to your attitude and approach. If you don’t like my questions for whatever reason ( I’m not specific enough, I’m making you read my mind like a psychic, I should be asking a travel agent) jeesh! Just scroll on by and don’t reply to me! It’s that simple!

Yes Nassau is definitely on the bottom of my list. Feels like a waste of a stop for me lol

Ok thanks! So basically that is exactly what I was thinking about this itinerary. But was making sure I wasn’t missing anything. Looks like ABC is the sure winner here!

Wow jeesh!!! You come across a bit intense! I thought I would just start off with more of a general post question. That’s all! Good day to you and thanks for your insight.

I’ve just heard they have really nice beaches. But if ABC has nicer ones than it’s a done deal lol

I’m not asking specific questions because I honestly don’t even know what kind of activities we specifically want to do. I just don’t want to go to the ABC islands if all there is to do there is lay on a beach. I mean I love the Caribbean beaches that’s what I would want personally out of a Caribbean cruise, but I am trying to take into consideration what everyone in our party wants to do. So beaches some days would be great but another day more activities would also be nice so everyone can have some thing they enjoy. what I mean by activities are like maybe going on a jeep excursion around the island, Zip lining etc. again I haven’t started my research so I just stated this in case somebody that read it could contribute to a nice excursion that they had there and would recommend.

Are people recommending ABC mostly because it’s better beaches or can you recommend any specific excursions for ABC? we are going with two teenagers so they are looking for fun. Adrenaline types of activities, not just laying on the beach. I’m still trying to decide which itinerary to take and then will start researching the excursions but just wondering why so many people lean towards the ABC islands

We are looking to book the carnival celebration and are torn between the Eastern ( Turks and Caicos, Nassau, and amber cove) OR the ABC islands ( Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao). I don’t care much for Nassau as we have been there plenty of times. Turks I am super excited for and Amber cove I’m on the fence as it kind of looks like just a resort pool Day? I have heard though that there is a nice waterfall excursion so that might be a good plan for that day. Now the ABC islands I have also heard is a very nice itinerary. Any advice? TIA

Hi everyone, So I need to make a decision about cruise travel protection. We are sailing with Royal Caribbean in October leaving out of Barcelona. We are staying flying in from Miami, FL and staying 7 days in Barcelona prior to the 5 day cruise. So, I am wondering if I should get full travel protection (through an outside company) that will cover flights and hotel as well. Or is the travel insurance offered by the cruise enough. As of now, they have lifted the testing for COVID to reenter the US, so really my biggest worry is the cruise, as we will not be able to board if we test positive. Any Suggestions?
