We sailed on the Coral Princess to Alaska 2005. I chose Princess due to people saying if you cruise to Alaska Princess is the best & sail from Vancouver because you will see more of Alaska. Cruise left from Vancouver & we departed in Seward. We only cruise there 1 time so I nothing to compare it to.

It was a good cruise & we both enjoyed Alaska. My only complaint would be the entertainment was lacking on the ship.

Do you need to get a long distance carrier for Bermuda? If you turn your phone on will you get charged for roaming even when you aren't making a call? :)

Shuttle bus, is it $7 per person & is it for a round trip? :)

This is our first cruise without flying. :) Looking forward to getting dropped off at the SF cruise terminal.

Not having to fly is great!, but for us it limits our ports.... Bahamas & Bermuda.

That's right - put the wine in your carry on. Which is tricky if you fly, because the airlines require wine to be in a checked bag only. Don't forget to move the wine to the carry on before you board or Carnival will seize your vino.

 

The Carnival website should have details of their alcohol policy.

We don't have to fly for this cruise!!! I was asking for some newbies that are traveling with us. :)

Wine & can soda is packed your carry on luggage & not in your checked luggage...is this correct? :)

We are taking a Carnival Cruise soon. If you want to bring a bottle of wine or can soda on the ship you pack it in your carry on luggage & not your checked luggage....Is this correct? :)

Coco Reef Resort or Elbow Beach Resort

Thanks :)

Are there hotels/resorts that offer a day pass in Bermuda?

Great review & I enjoyed all of your pictures.

I know how frustrating it can be having to wait for someone who didn't listen/ understand about where to meet at the end of a tour. It happen to me while in DC nearing the rush hour. We had to wait on a lady & her grandson.

I was very glad to read, you did look after the 2 elderly ladies & they returned to the ship safely. Had you not returned for them, would they have known who to contact for help. I don't know you or the 2 sisters. Thank You!! for looking out for them :) :)

Many Thanks for the information!! :):)

Other than BC what do children need for id? My hubby & I have passports, but we know a group people that are taking the same cruise we are...most are newbies (1st cruise). :)

Has anyone sail to Bermuda with a birth certificate instead of a passport?

Does the Sunshine have the Seuss entertainment on board? Is there a charge for the Seuss Character breakfast?

We have cruised from San Juan several times. Enjoyed all of them. Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, & Carnival. Royal's Jewel of the Seas was a great cruise since it was a b2b. I like having a sea day at the end of a cruise...very relaxing :).

Does anyone know of another reputable snorkeling tour company besides Woodwind? They are booked for our Navigator cruise next April. Appreciate the information .

I don't know of another company, but you could ask to be on a waiting list if someone should cancel. That's how we got our reservation.

Sailing from San Juan is great! Sailed from there 3 times.

We enjoyed St. Kitts, took a tour with Thenford Gray. Carambola Beach Club has been recommended.

We were just there this week . I love my necklaces they smell so good thanks for the tip My necklaces got a little mold on them in the 2 days they stayed in the luggage just wipe them off with wet paper towel . I just don't know what the small nuts are they look like almonds .

Nutmeg maybe?

We just got back this past Saturday from Grenada. I don't have a lot of time to write, as it is closing time here at work, but it is a beautiful port to check out. I did buy some cinnamon, and a dish towel from the vendors that are close by, and they do sometimes accept bargaining too.

 

I also walk "150" feet or more up to the fort, where the view is more than awesome. I am 73, but it was worth walking up those steps to see all of Grenada.

Good to hear you liked Grenada! Did you take a tour?

Think of the spice necklace as a PotPourri but on string :p you could cook with it but then you wouldnt have a nice memory of Grenada every time you get in your cars :D

That's a very good description! :)

It didn't come back, so you should have a couple of pics. :)

The email I sent was returned saying invalid email address.

Bettyboop16, thanks for your reply back.

 

So I guess my main question is, these are really more for fragrance, than to use in cooking, baking? The reason I ask, I do a lot of Christmas baking, and thought perhaps some of their spices might work, but as you said, I'll try to ask about strength of the spices.

 

Yes, if you want to email pictures, my email is bbeshears@yahoo.com

 

Thank you.

I sent you a couple of pics.

I believe the necklace is for fragrance only. I did buy some spices that were packed like sample size (grated in small plastic bags) in small straw container as gifts also. I never gave any thought about the strength of the spices. You might want to ask that question in Grenada.

If you want to give me your email address, I can send you a few pics of the items I purchased. I can't post pics on CC.... I have never used photo bucket.

In regard to the spice necklaces in Grenada, I gather (???) they are to hang in the kitchen, etc., but not to wear, is that correct? I haven't seen any pictures, so that may seem like a strange question, but I thought I would ask.

LOL!! no, you don't want to wear them. I hung mine in the laundry room & my daughter in law put hers in the car.

It's different spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, bay leaf & a couple others... strung on what looks like monofilament line (fishing line). If you plan on buying some, make sure you pack a paper bag to put them in.

I bought 9 & gave them as gifts when we returned home.
