gquest Posted November 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hello, Is there anyone out there from the recent sailing of the Carnival Liverty (Eastern Caribbean) that can give a review of the ports? Any recommendations? Thanks :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunTimeCruiser Posted November 28, 2005 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2005 My husband and I just did the Liberty Eastern Carribean route. Stay away from the Glass Bottom Boat in Nassau! Waste of time and money! Also in Nassau, grab a free ride from these vans that come around to go from the ship to the dock - - saves a few walking steps and it's in air condition!! The ship "failed" to tell anyone these vans exist and the walk was a bit much. I found that all of the ports had people at the docks waiting to give taxi rides around town - - and most of them gave us a "casual tour" as we were driven from the port to the beach or wherever we were headed. The excursions were a waste of time and money. We had a taxi cabbie take us to Jolly Beach in Antigua for $20 (for 2 of us). It was a beach a local told me to go to. There was a nice restaurant on the beach and it was not crowded at all - - - - maybe a 100 people total (across the whole beach). It was our best day on the cruise. Ask for Brother Brown for a taxi cabbie. He can be found right at the dock. We stopped in San Juan at night. That was a big waste. If I had known, I wouldn't even had gotten off the ship, other than we'd be at sea for almost 2 days and I thought land would be good. It was so dark, I couldn't see anything and the shops were kind of nasty. Not my cup of tea. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msobjak Posted November 28, 2005 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2005 We did 1/2 of the tours, San Juan we made reservation for a nightclub singer, that was cancelled so we took a night highlight - it was too dark to see anything. St Thomas we did our own thing as everything is right there except the beaches. Antigua we did a highlight tour - it was great especially Nelson's Dockyard. The views were spectacular! Tortola was magnificient - we took the Lambert Beach tour - what a place. I felt I was in heaven and very few people took the tour so I could highly recommend it. In Nassau we were going to do our thing and I wish we had. After going to the talk on the port, I felt it was worthwhile - they were saying how expensive it was to go to Atlantis and they charged you an arm and a leg just to get in. So we took the tour which they described as a historical cruise and Atlantis. They should be ashamed of themselves for this. First of all we had about a mile to walk to get to the "public ferry" - they it took all of 10 minutes to get over, then they herded us to walk over to Atlantis - about a 10 - 13 minute walk and then they broke us up into smaller groups and we went to aquarium. I don't know about any body else but we were extremely rushed through this. Then they gave us a return ticket to find our own way back - last ferry runs at 5:00. We finished our tour at 4:30. If you want to see Atlantis go yourself - take a cab over and back $4 per person each way. You can be dropped off at the door. They did not charge to get in the hotel! It is a beautiful sight and it only costs $15 to get in the digs and you can take your time and enjoy it!!!!!!! Marge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
