Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Would you believe that I received StarClipper documents while I was typing this? 10 days before setting sail!
  2. We are on the Jan. 14 sailing which includes Panama. I believe we'll be sailing from Puerto Caldera which is about 20 minutes from Puntarenas. The challenge is getting from San Jose to the port. I'm not seeing many options and costs seem to be extremely high for the distance. I see an option for a minivan and wonder if there are others requiring this transfer on Saturday. Note: I've been to Costa Rica a number of times. Do check on excursions. Starclippers doesn't offer many, but if you want to see Manuel Antonio National Park you need to pre-book the tour prior to sailing.
  3. We are on the Jan. 14 cruise. Puerto Caldera is the cruise port to Puntarenas. I'm still looking to make arrangements to fly to San Jose and then get to Puntarenas. The Star Clippers rep quoted me $120/person which seems way high--especially since I would expect a number of passengers will need to make that trip. (I've traveled to Costa Rica a number of times and was actually in Puntarenas on an NCL cruise in March.) I recall the ship sails at 10 PM, so 4 PM boarding should be ok. My thought is that we'll fly into San Jose the day before and spend the night near the airport. I looked into staying near Puntarenas but didn't find anything tempting.
