lv2cruz80 Posted April 30, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I was told on the Celebrity Connections board that the itinerary for President's week no longer has Greneda and the DR. However, Celebrity's website still shows those ports. Anyone hear anything either from Celebrity or their TA? Julie Until the Constellation!

Johnny Squid Posted May 2, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Just got off the Connie, Grenada and DR were very bad ports,loved the ship but would never go back as long as these to ports are there. Avoid at all costs, these rip off ports left a bad taste in my mouth afer being changed from St. Martin and St Lucia.

judyfssw Posted May 2, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Actually, I'm the one who told Julie. When we were on the Constellation in February, the CC person gave me an itinerary for 2005 of the Constellation. It stated that the Constellation would be going to St. Lucia and St. Marteen which is just fine with me. The only thing that my friends liked about the DR was the show in the evening. So, now you know how I got the info. Hope that Celebrity sticks with this itinerary.

nywritestuff Posted May 3, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I just wanted to give another perspective about the DR and Grenada ports. I was on the 4/3/04 Connie sailing, and I enjoyed both of those ports tremendously. In fact, I loved Grenada, as well as several others who booked a tour with Mandoo. Yes, getting into the Grenada port was intimidating because of the aggressive cab drivers. But Mandoo and his assistant, Alistar met us right at the dock and took us on a fabulous tour of the island. It was such a great tour that my 11 year son wants to do it again. We went through St. Georges, up to a quaint fishing village, then to Concord Falls, the historic Douglastown spice plantation, then to Grand Etang volcanic park and, finally to Grand Anse beach where we enjoyed two hours swimming and relaxing Many of my fellow PAX also took the ship tour to Casa del Mar resort in the DR. This is a fantastic beach, perfect sand, no vendors, all drinks free...just plain gorgeous. We wouldn't have chosen these ports ourselves. But I'm glad the Connie stopped at them because we really had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted May 3, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 3, 2004 It would just be nice to have different ports. I liked Grenada, the while aggressive thing isnt a pleasure but it is such a pretty island.

Island2Girl Posted May 3, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 3, 2004 We were on the 4/17 sailing. I was very dissapointed when we booked last year,then found out the itinerary changed from St.Lucia and St. Martin. I did not have very high expectations of D.R. or Grenada. I have to say though that Grenada was my favorite stop. We took the tour with Mandoo, and it was fantastic. What a pretty island and we did not find the people pushy. When we go to Mexico it is far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
