In 2002, during the 64 day APEC cruise, the Volendam went there as a replacement port after the bombing in Bali. Very neat little town. Saw a lot of the area from a small plane and enjoyed a cold beer at a bar on Cable Beach. Also, mailed our absentee ballot from there. Still don’t know if it made in time to be counted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a shot looking from the Ryndam (through the plexiglass on the upper deck) toward the main part of the port: We visited it in the 1990s and early 2000s, but when this was taken in 2011 was the last time we were there. I don't think HAL goes there any more. Dave This part of the island apparently has a large number of rivers. In fact, once we hiked up one to a pretty waterfall.

Here's another one, this time of the "Darling of the Dutch," Nieuw Amsterdam II, departing Hoboken, again with the aid of several Morgan tugs (no side thrusters yet) around 1952/1953 Edited September 24, 2020 by Copper10-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area of the island has a large number of rivers -- eight of them, apparently. There were two larger ships at the normal cruise pier, so Ryndam being the smallest, we were given the berth in the industrial port just down the way. If you walked out of the industrial port and along the seafront for a few hundred meters, you found this: It is Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Inside is a Margaritaville, from where I took the shot back to the Ryndam. On our first trip there in 1996, we took an excursion to Dunn's River Falls, which was great fun. Since the port of Falmouth has been completed, it seems fewer cruise ships are going to Ocho Rios or Montego. Or Guadeloupe, either, for whatever reason -- we went once in the 1990s, and haven't been on a cruise since that included it. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought an early-morning sail-in to Castries as being one of the prettier ones in the Caribbean. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
