mikemcf31 Posted October 14, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hi, My wife and I are cruising EOS in Nivember with our 2 children, ages 5 and 11. We have been researching excursions and and need advice for Casa de Campo (seems like a lousy port and may opt for Bayahibe Beach but it seems very expensive for what you get), St Thomas and San Juan. Since the children are small I think we have to exclude any strenuous activities (snorkeling, horseback riding etc). Any suggestions or reports on prior experiences are greatly appreciated. thanks!

dolfinmusic Posted October 14, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hello - we are sailing in less then 2 weeks!! :D We have booked the cave and shopping tour in Caso De Campo. Your 11 yr old may like that - would your 5 year old be scared though?? Although I have been to St. Thomas and San Juan once before - not with children so I really can't say too much. What about Coral World in St. Thomas? That sounds fun! Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familycruzer Posted October 14, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2007 How about a walking tour in San Juan. http://www.frommers.com/destinations/sanjuan/0323010008.html And a guided tour in St Thomas from one of the suggested guides from CC. http://www.eeetours.com/ratesroutes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted October 14, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2007 My young childrens' fav place in StThomas is Coral World. http://www.coralworldvi.com/ As far as a beach in St.Thomas, try Magen's Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffie Posted October 14, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Megan's Bay is very easy to do on your own and is a great beach for kids. In San Juan, I would just grab a taxi and go up to El Morro. I bet the kids would love walking around the fort. There is also a great open area in front where people fly kites. That might be something they would enjoy also. I bet there is somewhere around there to buy a kite, or you could bring some from home if you wanted to. You can easily walk your way back down to the pier, or take a taxi or the free bus if you wanted to. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemcf31 Posted October 14, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted October 14, 2007 thanks for all the great suggestions. Will look into it and maybe save some money by doing it on our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
996turbos Posted October 14, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 14, 2007 We were in St Thomas last month and did a tour with Sunny Liston tours. It was the best money spent by far. You get a choice of 1, 2 or 3 hours of shopping, then a tour of the Island, and time at the beach all for 1 price of $25.00 pp. Sunny had everyone singing and clapping. He has brightly colored trucks and they are well kept. After the cruise I went to his web site and left feedback...all good btw. Just do a google to find him. He is not affilated with RCCL but we were met at the ship and cared for completely. Can't miss with Sunny!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
