dx052 Posted December 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Do you have to right the day off if the ship stops at a port on Christmas day, I thinking Caribbean islands! it seems a shame that its not a sea day if thats the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember56 Posted December 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 18, 2016 As opposed to wrong the day off? [emoji848][emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissyfromcab Posted December 18, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Definitely not. We have been in port in St. Thomas twice and Bonaire once on Christmas Day. The first time in St Thomas, there were six ships, including 4 large ships, and it was a normal port day. The other time we were the only ship and it was pretty quiet. All three I made sure to have something booked in advance though, since I wasn't sure what would be available when we got there.

Kartgv Posted December 18, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) Haven't been in port on Christmas, but we were in port in Curacao on Easter Monday once and everything was closed. I wouldn't expect many shops to be open on Christmas, or to see as many independent tour operators waiting at the pier, but you can probably pre-book something or just head to a beach.

MeghanJ Posted December 18, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Christmas Day is a sea day for me next Sunday!! [emoji319] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted December 19, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I have not sailed at Christmas. But, like Kartgv I sailed on Easter. We usually book independent tours, but booked a ship's tour for that day. We were glad we did. Almost everything was closed and there was a huge traffic jam in the city and we woud have been worries if we were not on a ship tour.

Missymo Posted December 19, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Some of the islands are completely closed up on Christmas( St Maartin ) and some treat as a normal day (st Thomas).best bet is to book excursions if available , so that you will keep busy off the ship on Christmas Day.
