That sounds so AWESOME. What an experience!!👍👍

Very well said I couldn't agree more. I think for those of us who feel this way and for those who don't have or use a passport we may have a different definition of travel. Thank you

All of us are familiar with the "closed loop"🙄 cruises. "Closed loop" cruises don't have anything to do with my decision to have a passport, actually it's been a very long time since I've heard "closed loop" cruises. I didn't know anyone based they're decision to get a passport on whether or not the cruise they're going on is "closed loop". I've seen it before no passport, TSA, US Customs and Border Patrol look at you funny and that's just for starters. Passport in hand completely eliminates any misunderstanding. I could never be without one.

Ostriches and Donkeys on Aruba? Hmmmmm. I see some of you have lost your way. I can help you with just about anything when it comes to you spending your cruise ship visit on a beach or a resort on the island of Aruba. Ostriches and Donkeys you got me on this one. No zoo's on Aruba, just beautiful beaches and beautiful resorts.

Here's what you should do. Email Baptiste he'll be your tour guide, of Cosol Tours. This guy, the tour, the vans the whole excursion is top shelf from start to finish. First trip to St. Lucia, this is the only way to go. It's a whole day event, for your first time visiting this destination Cosol Tours and forget everything else. 😉

I loved that👍🙂

I've posted on this subject many times. The Marriott day pass WAS $35.00. More than 3 people get a day room for $160. If you can get others from the ship to go with you the day room to keep your stuff and be able to take a cold shower and clean up before heading back to the ship is HUGE. Property is incredible pool is off the chain. Beach is real deal. Look up resorts for a day.com Best 2 day passes on St. Kitts #1 St. Kitts Marriott #2 Palm Court Gardens, Palm Court contact directly on their website via email. $12 for deck chair rental plus bar tab if you drink. Palm Court Gardens Tiki bar by the pool one of the best vibes in all the Caribbean. Either way you go no losers. 😉

I'm Maho'd out. Twice is too much, I'm going back to Orient just like the good ol days. Orient down on the far right end of the beach just before the dive shop, magnificent nobody there, too this day I've never swam with that much sea life in my life. Water at Orient is second to none especially on St. Maarten. If you've already done Maho, go French.

I love Fort De France port area and shops Personally, I found the shops to be uppidy 🤑😉👍I'm not sure it was the weather the atmosphere a combination of the both, that whole port area is nice and inviting. Go into town it's wide open you can see everything lots of nice people great vibe. Have fun. I'm trying to make a concerted effort to get back to this destination, the next visit two specific rum distilleries and spend the rest of my day in downtown Fort De France. I'm not spending my whole day in a tour bus next time even if it was a Mercedes Benz. Sip Rhum with PORT ROYAL at la favorite distillery head over to the Depaz Distillery sip some more rhum with PORT ROYAL, admire the magnificence of Mt. Pelee, head back into Fort De France walk around town and bar hop with PORT ROYAL until we have to be back on the ship. Which is not far, btw wear at hat and sunscreen its a very open exposed area and very hot. 👍👍

BTW it may be a couple of weeks until I find out something, No worries. 😉

I'm trying to spend the day with Levi again on my next cruise, it's some time off. With that being said I'm going to try and get in touch with him and see what's up for his rainforest tour. I'll post here what I find out. Looking forward to getting back down to the island.

Is your new passport in your hand?

Hey Clyde!! Silly of me I thought this thread implied Florida Departures it didn't say "sailing out of Florida". For many of us who fly to Florida for me the last 45 years Leave the country by either another flight,(MIA,FFL,TIA,WPB) for starters or get on a ship for a couple of weeks. Leave the US and return to the US via the state of Florida by every way imaginable. This post applies directly to this thread. If I were you I would take my biometrics and stick them where the sun never shined.😉🤮

You didn't "misheard". 😳

BTW I would be excited too. 👍

You won't be disappointed my tour with Christelle of Karambola was one of the highlights of my cruise top shelf tour. We all had a blast I couldn't imagine being on Martinique on not spending the day with Karambola. Can't wait to do it again.

Been by Paradise Beach a couple of times on the way to Nachi once with a couple of friends of yours.😉 Hello Mona my friend I'm considering doing Paradise Beach on my next Cozumel visit after 2 visits to Nachi, just something different. Give Don my best miss cruising with the gang. I'm back looking for a nice NICE sailing for next year just like the good ol days. Take care Todd

Here's the deal on Belize it's a simple thing. Book a tour to Goffs Cay look it up. I did it twice wouldn't do anything else on Belize except sit on the pier at the Wet Lizard and get blistered. Resorts for a Day.com Goffs Cay Excursion best ticket in Belize. Have fun🙂

No beaches on Antigua, hmmmm really. I would either completely change my mind and go to a beach or change my mind again and stay on the ship and bar hop. 👍

Couldn't agree more. I can't wait to spend the day with Lawrence again. It's just a pleasure to be around someone like that. I know you from somewhere?😉

I love this So Much!!👍👍

Long Bay Beach on the far side of the island it's one of the only beaches on Antigua I saw people snorkeling.

Darkwood

He certainly does, Lawrence is a fine man easily one of the nicest tour operators in the Caribbean and I know every dang one of them.😉 I was the first one of our tour group to show up stood on the pier and talked to him for about 20 minutes jeez what a nice man. Can't wait to see him again. I can't wait to get back to Turners.👍👍

A true gentleman Lawrence is the best on Antigua. We did the beach day tour back in Dec.of 18, I've had lotsa fun on Antigua over many years our last tour with Lawrence was top shelf. Long Bay Beach in the morning, Turner's Beach all afternoon we had a wonderful time, I'm almost positive from now on when I'm on the island keep it simple and go with Lawrence, great bus beautiful drive through the rainforest over to Turner's it's the only way to go. 👍👍
