  1. Does anyone have any recent experience with taking a ferry about 10 min away from the ship to go to the old town? The research I have done is all old info and someone reported it was shut down for a period of time, but no dates were included.

     

    Thanks for any help!

  2. My daughter and I returned from our cruise just today. While in PV we took the white van ( there were several white vans and taxis right outside the ship ) They charged everyone $4 per person to drop off at the Malecon. The stop was where Starbucks was which worked for us to grab some ice coffee, Wi-Fi and air conditioning before we started our walk down the boardwalk.

     

    The return taxi did charge us $5 each to get back to the ship.

    Thanks for the info! That price is reasonable.

  3. Go for it! Don't let others dictate your cruise.

    Some cruises, with family or celebrating an event, we have decorated our door. It adds to the fun and festive atmosphere.

    The times we haven't decorated our door I enjoy seeing others creativity.

  4. Great review! We were on her in March and had a great time. We only ate in the dinning room twice as we decided not to bring dressy clothes this time. We were so impressed with the dinners in the Windjammer!! This was the first time on any cruise we decided ahead of time we were going to the buffet in the evening and it turned out to be so enjoyable. We sat out on the back deck and usually only a handful of people were there, so it was very peaceful and we had some amazing sunsets.

  5. I know this subject comes up every so often, on the boards and since people we met on our recent cruise were shocked you could do this, I will tell you my experience.

     

    We stopped at Tortola, Antigua, St. Kitts, Dominica and St. Martin and I got my passport stamped at all these locations. Every port has an immigration office at the pier. Ask someone in uniform were the immigration office is located. Sometimes, if you ask a random local the don't always know. I can't even tell you were the offices are because some don't even have any markings. At on stop, an officer told me to go through an open door in a building on the pier and knock on the third door. I did, and the lady was so nice. At another stop, a lady in uniform told me to follow her.

     

    I only had one immigration gentleman who acted put-out. The rest were all very friendly and were more than happy to stamp my passport.

     

    I think I now have a stamp from all the Caribbean Islands we have visited over the years!
