jordanaire Posted January 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) We were at Orient Beach last Thursday and there were thousands of people there. The seaweed is still there, but not covering the beach like many have suggested. In fact, we found a stretch of beach over 300 yds long with no seaweed at all. We stayed mainly where the jet skis are rented. We would have stayed there all day if it weren't for the tour we were on. You can still swim without seaweed bothering you. And as for the smell, we didn't notice it at all. :cool:Bill Edited January 27, 2015 by jordanaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanaire Posted January 29, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Life is good, is there jet ski rental close by? Yes..there is a jet ski rental right about in the middle of the beach. Mares (I think) is the name of the rental place. They also have parasailing, scuba dive equipment, etc. :cool:Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is Good Cruising Posted February 2, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 2, 2015 We are currently on Orient Beach at La Playa which is next door to La Playa. If you want more time at the [ATTACH]338446[/ATTACH][ATTACH]338447[/ATTACH][ATTACH]338448[/ATTACH]beach. Take a taxi, much cheaper. I just ask the cost, 2 people from pier to Orient $20, one way, have 5 or more, $7 pp. If you want less beach and a tour---we use Bernard 's Tour. 😄😄😄😄Hardly any seaweed [ATTACH]338445[/ATTACH] Sent from my iPhone using Forums I meant to say that Waikiki is next door to La Playa.

FloatMe Posted February 2, 2015 #12 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I meant to say that Waikiki is next door to La Playa. I figured that out[emoji2] we went ahead and booked that excursion through RCCL. Thanks again for your experience. Nice to know the seaweed is improving. Looking forward to having sand between my toes instead of snow on my boots[emoji32] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal girl Posted February 2, 2015 #13 Share Posted February 2, 2015 At this point I'd rather deal with some seaweed than this snow/ice mix we are getting right now in CT!!! :eek: Cant wait to be laying on Orient Beach!!! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
