catty Posted July 15, 2010 #202 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Jane, No we are not going to be able to do a back to back, but we will stay in San Juan for two extra days. My DH will retire next year, so we hope we can do them soon!! We also stayed at the Caribe (in 2007) and had a wonderful time. My husband wanted to take me somewhere after the death of my sister (my only sibling). I enjoyed all the restaurants, pool areas and beach. It was lovely and enjoyed seeing all the pics of the stars of the past who stayed there. We stayed 5 nights and will go again in the future...

tnvoldude Posted July 15, 2010 #203 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Jane, Good to hear John's surgery went well and Cathy and I hope his results are in the "Super" category. For those trips to Orient Beach, guys need maximum vision! Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blonde375 Posted July 15, 2010 #204 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Great review and thanks for the beach info. We will certainly use it for our cruise on the Serenade Sept 5. We sailed on her last year and loved it and couldn't decide which cruise to do for our 30th anniversary. We settled on it today and we are excited...she is a wonderful ship!! Catty, have you signed up for the Meet and Mingle? We are on that cruise too on September 5th. Check out the roll call for our sailing. Looking forward to meeting you!

Check out the roll call for our sailing. Looking forward to meeting you! By all means.....chat on your roll call and go to the M&M. Many times we have clicked with one or two folks and it made a huge difference in our cruise experience. We remain good friends with quite a number of our fellow CC'ers. BTW....Kathy and Frank....where are you!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Booper Posted July 15, 2010 #209 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Good one' date=' [b']Dave![/b] He got some really "cool" wrap arounds today at the Dr.'s office!! Good to hear that the procedure worked and DH is getting back to normal. We were in Florida for 26 days in June, including the Solstice cruise, seeing many clients down there, and hitting the theme parks and Daytona; our first time there, went to the speedway and took the tour including the tram shuttling at the base of the banking at 20 mph instead of at 200 mph like the Nascar guys do. Never realized how narrow and vertical the banking is.:eek: I came back to a pile of problems to be solved for clients and will shortly start setting up the web albums of the 1,200 pictures we took on the trip. Eventually we will book this trip, same as the last two years, sign up after Turkey day and take what is open, and hope Promowave has decent specials for this trip. I can't believe all the E2s are gone, must be a hold or something. Lots of E1s and Ds available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaTeach Posted July 15, 2010 #213 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Thanks so much for that great review. I had a vicarious experience which "should" last me until I have my B2B in a few weeks (on the Serenade). I just love reading a good review, and the more pictures the better (which you provided) !! Now I'm really psyched and more revved than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxs mom Posted July 16, 2010 Author #216 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Wow! That's a hard one. All the ones we went to on this trip were great. I guess I would have to say Eagle Beach on Aruba at the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort. We were waited on there right at our chairs. The sand and the water were just perfect. It was a great day.

karle Posted July 16, 2010 #217 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thank you soo much for the review! We are leaving in a few weeks for our fam cruise! To bad it rained all day in ST LUCIA,which AI were you going to do? We are planning on going to Accura beach in Barbados, Valley Church in Antigua, Orient beach in ST MARTEN ( my 21 yr old daughter will probally hate that, and my 19 yr old son will probally love it lol ) and we have booked the ATVs for ST CROIX. I have read that the beaches in ST LUCIA are not to good, so i was wondering which AI you had planned! Again thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about a 7 minute taxi ride from the ship. It is all adult, which makes it nice and quiet and relaxing. The beach is OK, but there is a very nice pool with a swim up bar. We have enjoyed going here over the years. Edited July 16, 2010 by max'smom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1packerfan Posted July 16, 2010 #221 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are doing a B2B on the Serenade next April. And, although we have been to most of the islands before, I can't wait to go again. I loved all your beach pictures, and will dream about the beaches when it's -20 this winter in WI.

EEEWWW. :eek: How do people even do day-to-day things when it's that cold? :D We dream of beaches, and get whiney, even when it is the wintertime 40's here in CA.

Coralc Posted July 16, 2010 #224 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Are you suggesting MORE people should move to California to enjoy the weather? :D Nooooooo. :D But I can't even imagine it being that cold. :eek: My job/work is outside year round. How could you even go to the grocery store when it's that cold? I understand why Caribbean cruises are popular during "Wave" season. But it just boggles the mind, that it could be that cold and you still have to do daily activities. :D:):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
