good advice on the crab cake but I tasted my husb's and thought it was too salty we did regular menu on Ascent..our res was 6 pm so no loud music..just a mellow acoustic duo playing up in the main part of EDEN.. we both ordered the beef and short rib puff wine on Classic package was fine they served a nice tiered cookie tray..too stuffed for any dessert. we will book it again on APEX

forgot to note that the site of the Hamilton Museum was his place of birth and where he was raised til age 7..eventually making his way to New York. Our tour also passed the historic , circa 1778, Bath Hotel..Lord Nelson and Royalty..some good stories. Then we headed to the St Thomas Anglican Church...built in 1643. I stayed on the bus...I was ready for lunch! (But we had one more stop after the Church) Our guide KENO was an extra in a Christmas movie filmed at the Church.!

2 more Four Seasons

We arrived at the famous Four Seasons Resort..hotel, bungalows, tennis and golf etc. We had a nice look around, & got postcards at the front desk.. It exuded a vibe of understated but upscale elegance. Very posh! Great for a honeymoon or a Celebrity getway..but a bit quiet for us

I think if you post on the general Cruise Critic Board under Dining Package, u will get a quick answer. We did not have a package and pre- booked our dining ahead of time with the discounted rate..grats included.

Cemetery..burials underground

Continuing on, we passed bldgs, homes( pvt and public..), cemeteries schools, the hospital and an assisted living facility.. everything was very clean

Name of the restaurant we went to was LIME.. there were several.others nearby going towards the beach..ours was the first one off the road...thus further a bit further from the beach..easy walk, but they had free golf cart type shuttles

yup.. we used a limo to our pre cruise hotel, go out of San Pedro..Our coastal Ca cruise was great but would skip Mex

Mercury was our first, and all time fav ship..Classy vessel, crew and clientele. Perfect size, glass brass and wood.. Real T pool with therapy salts and hydro stations.. That's when cruise life was really good!

See post 209 ?

No..lunch was at the open air covered restaurant near the beach..I posted photo of..Lime. The lunch and beach were our last stop so I am getting there eventually..Hard to cull through pics and jump ahead, sorry. I note that other guides used diff lunch places so no idea what might be in store! Hopefully the same. Four Seasons was a special treat..We diverted to this very exclusive premier property for a " look see.." before our lunch and beach stop. Our guide used to work there! Lunch there def not part of our excursion..but others who booked a Day Pass after going over on the ferry probably had some type of lunch there. (.Four seasons pics are on my phone..which is charging now)

Gee.. recent reviews have been on the upswing,, Just came back from ASCENT...It was great!

Long ago we cruised Mex Riviera from San Diego on Radiance of the Seas. We had two wonderful pre cruise days exploring the ZOO, parks etc and also the Hotel Coronado area..Could have used a few more days!.. The cruise was fun..still safe enough..but we would not cruise Mex Riviera now! Safety and lawlessness prevail!

Nice review..what was your itin? Glad you enjoyed it! We are booked for next January!

Recently .Jan 2024..St. Kitts or Tortola (?) wanted the photo ID to return through security...but if you did not have it..or had limited Eng skills..they waved you thru with just the ship card!

We missed doing or seeing alot of things too. 7 days was too short.. I will evetualky end my "Not Quite Live from..." with a list.. Just today I realized we never got our complimentary gelato! No big deal but we usually go for it!

misplaced pic of war Memorial..( stock) the park is so clean, well designed and enjoyed! Tour will continue after awhile!

Very nice longer stop at the Hamilton Museum.. we did not go.in Our guide Keno was so well versed and excited about Alexander Hamilton. a person of great renown on Nevis. Keno was pleased many of us on the bus knew quite alot about the Federalist Papers, AH's roles in US Constitution , the US federal banking system ..Secy of Treasury, US Mint, general for G. Washington, US Coast Guard founder, abolitionist , and many other firsts for democracy. I digress here: While the Broadway musical has brought new awareness to many I have been a Hamilton fan for many yrs..A high school teacher wrote a graduate paper on Aaron Burr & the duel..shared excerpts with our class. I recently took a seminar that followed a book which compares the musical to Hamilton in real life from persoective if law music and the arts....and a former boss once vacationed at the Four Seasons Resort, Nevis. My husb is a history Geek so he quite an interest too . THUS, we had to book this excursion..glad we did! I was in Hamilton heaven! Maybe I will see the show one day! some pics are mine..some stock..

continued on to the Park with "healing Springs" We stayed on the a/c bus watching locals enjoy the park. Missed a great pic of small goats at play! Most on our bus got off, some dipped their toes in the water but I do not think anyone went "all in'.. There was a walkway down to the water .. we were tokd it was not too steep..

and what Terminal services Silhouette?

On tour...We passed the War Memorial (1st pic is stock last is mine). Passed Courthouse ( would love to have visited), fruit vendor and place where slaves were traded and disbursed near and far (Sad Reality!)

Will do my best.. as I continue with the review...Husb will help with estimates as no watches on the excursion. .After the wasted time with the ferry fiasco.. ride was abt 20 minutes...give or take..Then a bus tour segment... short waste of time at a " healing " spring... more tour.. short stops at Hamilton Museum ..( no entry) and another museum . .A famous Church stop..longer stop at FOUR SEASONS resort...Long lunch at a really nice place outdoor but covered with fans and breeze and beach stop combined..2 hrs ? Lunch ( 2 nice choices , good table servicec + drinks) husb had an after meal cigar off to the side, usually an hr while I visited beach for pics and shopped! My recollections follow my photos so if you have time to follow they may be more accurate! Highly rec this tour.!

Agree with EDEN being great..Rooftop was ok but not top not notch...We had great service, nice weather and very good food..but it's just not EDEN or Fine cut.. Also loved Raw on 5!
