You only put in 1 passenger for clam shells, day beds or a cabana.

OOoh thank you for clarifying that!  Now I'm trying to decide if it's worth reserving one. I think I remember reading that they got moved and aren't by the swimming area? Or... I'm going on another cruise in October, so I keep muddling details.

The REC website states that the pier/dock will open in January 2019

So probably not gonna be open for this trip, I'm guessing. 🙂

I was trying to find that too, and did some reading elsewhere that finally got me to see the right thing in the excursions.  Look for Beach lounger for two.  That's got a clamshell umbrella thingie.  I found it fairly expensive. It's showing as $42 per person, so $84.  I won't be going for that.

The thing I can't find out is if they have the dock there now, and you can walk off the ship, or if you still have to take tenders.  I've saw a forum on CocoCay somewhere that said "As of June 2018 there's a dock" but I can't find corroboration of that.

We will be on the Ryndam, leaving out of Tampa on March 17th so if anyone comes up with a great plan for Santo Tomas, keep us in the loop.

Since this is our first cruise ever, we've gone with excursions organized by the cruise line. I can't remember which one we chose there, though. I'll look it up when I have a chance, if you like.

I just looked at a Holland America, Ryndam cruise out of Tampa that will go to Santo Tomas in Mar 2013.

We'll be on that sailing, as well. :)
