IslandToIsland

For those of you with the Olympus, how is the sound when you record video? I read reviews that said its really noisy. I have had a canon d10 for about 7 years and love it, but it's starting to fog up. I just purchased 2 canon d30 from Best Buy and both made a rattling noise when moved around so I returned them.

Are you able to rent chairs and umbrellas at Anse Mitan? If so, does anyone know how much for each?

Any recent attendees that can tell me who the chef is on the Breeze?

We were there in Feb and I thought it was a nice beach. The seaweed is another issue, but I know that is becoming an issue in a lot of places. Still trying to decide.

Does anyone have any recent pics of Orient with the construction going on? I'm kind of torn on whether it's worth going back during it all.

Thank you :)

Anyone been to Simpson Bay recently? How is it and what is the taxi cost from the port?

I received an email response saying they are on vacation the day we will be there and the restaurant will be closed, but the beach bar will be open, access to restrooms, and chair and umbrella rental is available. Is there any place close by along the beach to get food if we wanted?

Thank you for the pics. It looks a little better now, we're still trying to decide on what to do.

Does anyone have any recent pictures of the beach area at Shipwreck? We tried to go in Feb and it was so bad. We will be back in Sept and thinking of trying it again if it has improved. TIA

Also closed on 2/11/15. I heard back from her today. Back to the drawing board!

We will be there in Feb and also wondering about the conditions at Orient. Hopefully we will hear back before we go.

Thank you JFontaine, I will try again.

Has anyone received a response recently from dsharpe@carambolabeachclub.com? I emailed a few days ago asking to reserve an umbrella and haven't heard back.

Thanks!

Oh good! How much are they?

Does anyone know if they sell the logo tumblers from each of these places on the Glory?

Mitsugirly, I know the resort pays for the transportation, do you know if they include a tip or is that up to you to tip them?

Thanks for the info on the cab. I just received an email back today with pricing of $118 for 2. Looks like we made it just before the rate change. We will be there Sept. 18

We plan to go there in Sept. Where exactly do you catch the cab?

Well heck, cancel us for steakhouse as well..... we were only going to cause everyone else was...why is everyone cancelling now !!!

99 days people!! Woooo Hooooo!

I agree...nice to chat over there, but here we talk about our cruise and not all the other cruises :)

Tracey..what is Trunk bay/? We haven't been to any of the ports on the 2nd leg so would love some advice ;)

Trunk Bay is on St John. You have to take a ferry over and then a taxi to get there. Here is a pic I took from the overlook before we got there.
