  1. Personally, have no idea, but the official board will and be happy to answer questions. https://sanjuanpuertorico.com/visitors-information-tourism-offices/
  2. Take a tour and see the island…… Leo Tours - christopherom95@gmail.com https://anniescaribbeantours.com/ http://www.discover-stkitts-nevis-beaches.com/st-kitts-adventure-with-royston-tours.html Contact and discuss one’s requirements. History, Flora, Forna, Food, Drink and scenery are possible themes, or a mixture. Just choose It’s good to talk.
  3. The area inside the gates of the highly secure port area, with armed police and undercover people was okay and safe to walk round. There were some outlets. Only use cash. On last visit the guards on the gates would not allow anyone through to wander freely. Very sensible.
  4. Large CVS with an extensive wine, beer, spirits…. Top shelf bottles were on top of cabinets behind tills.
  5. As an aside. If with Cunard, one may wish to embark with one’s wine and spirit requirements. If so, Farnham deliver, no carrying, no sack barrow, no wheeled trolley….. https://www.farehamwinecellar.co.uk Ask about “Duty/Tax Free” purchases.
  6. Portsmouth gives an opportunity to visit the Mary Rose exhibition. Prepare for a big WOW Taxi fro one’s hotel to ship will not be a problem.
  7. The photographs from https://www.facebook.com/discoverybeachbarskb/ show a yes. But any additional questions can be asked by messenger.
  8. Human excrement and urine, as public toilets ceased functioning years ago. Therefore, any bush, wall or corner is used. Over many years, the “results” have been walked about.
  9. Taxi for each element. A a guide only, consider fares; Marigot $25; the to distillery $15; back to ship $15
  10. https://www.petestaxiandrentals.com/taxi-services-antigua/
  11. There are no shuttle services from Heathrow to Southampton. Most travellers go for a private car service, many mentioned in CC The lowest price point is National Express Coach Service https://www.nationalexpress.com/en/airports/heathrow/southampton-to-heathrow Then take a Taxi from Southampton to chosen hotel at about £10/15 Agree with exlondoner regarding the choice of hotel, but there are other small boutique hotels https://www.ennios.co.uk https://www.thepighotel.com/in-the-wall/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=local&utm_campaign=GMB-pig-in-wall And an good pub/hotel offering https://www.whitestartavern.co.uk/?utm_source=googlemybusiness&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=yext&utm_content=P198&y_source=1_MTIyMzcyMTMtNzE1LWxvY2F0aW9uLndlYnNpdGU%3D Happy cruise.
  12. Taxi $35 e/w - Takes about 35 minutes, but allow 15 minutes extra if more than one ship in port, because of heavy port traffic. The outward driver would be pleased to collect at an agreed booked time. If, but doubtful, a now show, then NF will call a local taxi, be there in minutes.
  13. Lunch (upstairs) at Holland House. View over the bay and cruise ships to far off left.. Walkable? Yes approximately 20 minutes. But, shuttle minivans will ply for fares back to ship along Front Street, think about $3 pp If seeking a special bottle of Malt, Rum, Rhum etc, then a look inside Gulmohar’s on Front Street.
  14. One’s favourite place is Marmalade, taking the wine pairing menu. But if not interested in a total dining experience, then consider Barrachina, taking their wonderful seafood Paella. Prepared from scratch by the Chef, worth the wait. Cocktail “Happy Hour/s” from 4 pm at Mezzanine.
  15. Contact https://anniescaribbeantours.com http://www.discover-stkitts-nevis-beaches.com/st-kitts-adventure-with-royston-tours.html
  16. Never heard of a water taxi service, only private charter.
  17. Never used the Red Box, just handed the cards over to GS. GS put the stumps on, while there, and I paid by cruise card. Receipt given.
  18. In a word, COCO….. https://www.cocobeach.restaurant Book one’s day in advance as spaces are very limited. Easy and safe official taxi from the port area. Taxi fare $30 e/w - Allow an extra 15 minutes to return time - heavy port traffic. Driver will be happy to be timed booked for one’s return.
  19. One post fromJuly 2020 that may assist Four to consider at various price points - All will give a great stay and are in excellent locations Albergo del Senato Albergo Santa Chiara Hotel Navona, Hotel Singer Palace
  20. Additional Remove footwear, while wearing plastic gloves, before entering one’s stateroom, as one doesn’t want any contamination to enter.
  21. For the record, around the port area and on official cruise tours, armed undercover police and plain clothed armed forces will be present. Plus the areas to be visited on the ship’s tours will be pre-cleared of certain people, and you will only see what the Government want you to see, this being only the nice looking stuff with positive words from the tour guide directly from the Government’s pre-prepared script. Basically, a highly sanitised highly armed tour. But you will be safe and tours will look quite normal, but under the surface….. The Government will ensure nothing will happen, as the money from ship tourism will go into their funds. If you know what I mean…. When out a tour, take lots of hand wipes and sanitisers. Don’t touch anything, do not eat or drink anything local. Rubber gloves worn is an idea. Do not buy anything with a credit card (scamming is a notional sport). Take bottled water only from the ship. Watch where one walks, for things sitting on the ground. When back to ship, remove footwear wash them throughly and sanitise. Change all clothing and send to ship’s laundry and throughly wash hands after bagging clothing, then shower. Then, and only then, consider taking food or drink.
