So, I posted my first review on Cruise Critic. When checking to see whether or not it posted, I noticed a negative report for the boat I was on and for the same period of time. When looking at that report - it was very clear that the poster had posted to the wrong place. The negative post was about a large cruise ship with multiple dining areas but was posted to the forum for a very small boat with one eating area.
Anyhow, my question is, When posts are obviously incorrect, do you do anything about them? Just wondering.

I always wear a full wet suit and it has nothing to do with temperature.
There are all kinds of nasties that you can brush up against.
Jellyfish, hydroids, fire coral,

Fire coral is widespread on Bonaire.
I agree with the others that it is probably the cause.
We always wear wet suits and not because of the temperature - but because of all the nastys that you can brush up against!

Have never personally used Papa Hog's but have never heard bad things about them.
Most people gush about how good they are.

Do a Mayan Ruins tour in Belize. Snorkel the others.
You better see what reefs you can while you can, I read in the Economist Magazine recently that by 2050 most of the reefs in the world will be bleached out.

100% concur with Omeinv's posts.
Also agree that you should just plan on one dive when doing a discover scuba excursion.

Bonaire is known as a mecca for shore diving because almost all the island's dive sites (other than those off Klein Bonaire) are accessible from the shore. Don't pay someone to take you on a tour. Rent a car for the same price as a tour for one person and your group can check out several snorkeling spots and do a little other sightseeing as well. It's not the high-voltage diving you get in places with deep walls, but it's pretty unbeatable for shallow reef diving and those sites are totally suitable for snorkelers.
Seconding all of the above!

We are thinking of doing a cruise on the Windstar in Greece.
Our daughter would like to go as well.
I can't find any info about the pricing for the third person in a room.
I have tried calling but was on hold for well over an hour and my e-mail inquiry has not been answered.
Question is: Does anyone know how that third person is priced?
Thanks.

Dive St Croix - do the pier if you can.
Dive Grenada.
Dominica has way to much topside to skip for a dive

Check with Dive Friends Bonaire http://www.divefriendsbonaire.com/
and/or Wannadive Boanire https://wannadive.com/
Since I dive, I can't be certain these operators will be what you need - but at least it's a place to start.

Might I add "tongue in cheek" That I like most people's dogs much more than most people's kids!

Non smokers
Light drinkers
Kids are now adults.
Pool facilities not important but a coffee/cafe area with a shaded view would be nice.
A piano bar would be appreciated more than can can dancers.
Nice sit down meals would be preferred over the golden corral (go to the trough buffet) experience.
Gym facilities more important than a casino or bars.
Very early risers so coffee access by 5:00am and breakfast by 6:00am would be a real plus.
I scuba dive and generally do two - two week dive trips each year. The destinations for this cruise are places I would like to know more about so I thought that a cruise would be a relatively inexpensive way of checking them out for a possible future extended stay.
Thanks

The Celebrity Summit and the RCCL Jewel of the Seas both go out of Puerto Rico on the same itinerary.
I have never been on a cruise but like this schedule. Which one would you choose?
Thank you.
Sitka - Raptor Center, Totem Park & Tlingit Dance
in Alaska
Posted
We attended the Tlingit dance in Sitka in late July 2019.
Don't bother. They had small children including infants on stage. Those kids did not want to be there and it created a poor experience.
