VFL Cruiser Posted September 16, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Are you doing an eastern or western cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpdahmer Posted September 16, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted September 16, 2012 We have been to all of the islands (St. Thomas and St. Maarten)several times but was just asking for fun and for different perspectives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMDE Posted September 16, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2012 We have been to St Thomas 3 times, and the last time did an excursion to St. John's and loved it. Lovely small island, great walking tour, really enjoyed ourselves. Didn't hurt that the tour guide looked like Brad Pitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eng23 Posted September 16, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 16, 2012 On the Eastern route I really like doing the Waverunner Tour at Coco Cay. I am going to St. Thomas in a couple of weeks and will be spending the day at Bolongo Bay Beach resort and doing a jet ski adventure tour with 340 Watersports. In St. Maarten I will be going to Maho Beach for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducktoon1 Posted September 16, 2012 #14 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Bahamas - Dolphin Swim at Blue Lagoon Labadee - Dragon Tail Coaster (By the way, even if you think you're doing an Eastern itinerary, it never hurts to gather data on other ports. I thought I was going on a 7-day Eastern cruise last month, and it turned into a 9-day Western thanks to the weather) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also read numerous postings by you and have found out you have a lot of information to offer, also If I may hijack this thread...........need a favor......... I see you have an Allure cruise lurking around the corner..........and I have an Allure Cruise lurking in 300 days. When you come back...........please update the Allure thread the one with 17 pages of information. I am so confused about what is offered what has changed. Safe travels. Enjoy your trip Sue and crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your trip Sue and crew I would have no problem giving you answer's to any questions you have about the Allure after I return. I'm sure I will also post a review of the cruise too. I know sometimes I might come off as being a bit of a smarty pants and it's really unintentional. I sometimes also let my different kind of sense of humor get the best of me too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunebeach Posted September 17, 2012 #20 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Labadee, lazed on beach for free...snorkeled and watched a cultural dance/ music show Jamaica, booked a zipline/ kayaking tour through ship...LOVED it!!! Grand Cayman- wave runners to sting ray city, Island marketing... Cozumel- Hydrobob/mini submarine Island marketing...GREAT FUN!!! DH's favorite was the wave runners...not so sure about the snorkel stop or the stingrays...he just liked to try to bounce me off the back...lol Mine was the zipline/kayaking trip...really neat as it was on part of Rose Hall plantation..and I like history...But all of them were great!!! Well worth the memories they made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Faith Posted September 17, 2012 #22 Share Posted September 17, 2012 In St. Thomas, we like to take the ferry to St. John. Trunk Bay is a gorgeous beach- unspoiled, quiet, with powdery-white sand. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpdahmer Posted September 19, 2012 Author #25 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Kiedl14 - This is also our first RCI cruise...have always wanted to book one but Princess always came through with a better deal. This time we did not pick the cruise but are going with other family members. Hope you have a great cruise!!! Host Faith - WOW, what great reviews and pictures made me feel like I was there and if my math is right you look like you are leaving in 4 days for another...Have a blast!!! We are also from NJ (Union) saw your pic on the way to the airport. deanne41 - We have also done this and could not believe what an enjoyable day it was.
