Dragonkeper Posted May 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Were there a lot of places to eat outside of the hotel within walking distance? I was going to stay at the InterContinental San Juan where I stayed before and there are places right across the street from the hotel to eat at.

barbienj Posted May 20, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yes, but I would say nothing fancy. There were a few fast food places, Wendy's, Popeye's. Also a chain restaurant, Applebee's maybe that I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a chain restaurant, Applebee's maybe that I remember. These would be fine for the family, they are not looking for anything fancy at all. Thanks.

barbienj Posted May 22, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted May 22, 2014 What was the price per person for Noel's tour? Sent from my iPhone using Forums It was $45 p/p. I made reservations before we left on the trip and had to leave a $5 p/p deposit. The remainder was to be paid in cash $40. I also tipped him an additional $5.

slyster Posted May 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm enjoying reading your review....can you clarify somehthing? You mentioned it was $40 to book both Chops and Portofinos....do you mean you booked them the first night and could make your reservation for any night during the week? It's ususally $30 per person, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbienj Posted May 22, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted May 22, 2014 When we were doing our little tour of the ship on embarkation day we went to Chops and it was a special rate that day to book for both venues. Savings of $10. We made the reservations for Monday and Tuesday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabookkeeper Posted May 23, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 23, 2014 You said there were no stores open on St. Croix because it was Sunday. Is there anything right at the port open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbienj Posted May 23, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted May 23, 2014 You said there were no stores open on St. Croix because it was Sunday. Is there anything right at the port open? The port was a loooonggg pier to walk down and then there was a gate to go through. Then you were in the town. There wasn't a building that you walk through with shops and whatnot. There were vendors in tents set up selling stuff. On the street we walked a few stores were open but nothing interesting, a dive shop, a pharmacy, an art store.

barbienj Posted June 3, 2014 Author #19 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I know you have all been waiting patiently for the next installment of the trip. I was waylaid by an unexpected appendectomy which put me out of commission a few days. Here it is, our day in St. Lucia. http://barbarahasablog.blogspot.com/2014/06/day-five-st-lucia.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
