Duanerice1 Posted September 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Following.... We booked for March next year. I like that you can reserve a front row chair... unlike the Boatyard which is first come first served. Never been so we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnuzzo Posted September 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It’s been awhile since we went to harbor lights. But since we don’t dock until 12pm this upcoming November, we felt it was worth booking the front row guarantee, without the lunch, as no point with a late arrival. Happy to have chairs, umbrella and a good location. I believe the cost was $35 US for both of us. Plus taxi and beverages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted October 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2023 We booked the front row for our cruise in a couple weeks. I can report back if you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ont-teacher Posted October 16, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2023 We went to Harbour Lights in April this year. Took a cab from port. $5.00 each one way. Paid $30.00 each to go in. It included a drink each, umbrella and chair each, and we’re able to eat there for a cost but we didn’t. We had a big breakfast and we were fine until it was time to go back. It was great. We were on Celebrity and they were charging $70.00 per person but it did include buffet lunch which we heard was just ok. Beautiful beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kona_wahine Posted November 6, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Ok, back for my review. We were there a couple days ago. We followed the signs off the ship to the taxi stand, very easy. They had tons of taxi vans, so all shared. $5 pp to harbor lights. Check in was quick and easy as we had front row reservations, paid in advance. They pointed us out the back and told us to look for our names. We found our 2 chairs with umbrella in front as promised. The beach was gorgeous, soft sand. Water blue and beautiful. You could rent jet skis, or go snorkeling if you wanted. It was interesting as the snorkeling spot was basically just right past the ropes, would be a quick swim but there is some boat traffic so idk about just swimming out there. We didn’t snorkel so can’t really tell you. Others said it was good. 🤷♀️ service was kind of lacking but we weren’t really pushing it. Started with a bucket of beer for hubby and a blended drink for me. They never came back but we could have grabbed someone if we really wanted to. I was just surprised as places like that usually want to sell drinks. As for the crowds, it was pretty full but it was fine. You won’t have a beach to yourself is all I’m saying. When we were ready to leave we grabbed a taxi waiting in parking lot, there were several, and back to port for $5pp. Oh, and there were a couple vendors but they weren’t obnoxious. (Like today in St Maarten. 🤣) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised about the service being slow because like you mentioned, they could make more $.We do plan on going there because we like that we can prebook our sets.
