2Feathers Posted September 6, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2004 We're considering booking Windstar's cruise that goes to these ports in Costa Rica. Can anyone provide some information on any of these ports? What to do and see there? What's Puerto Caldera (the embarkation/debarkation point) like? Would it be worth it to stay a few extra days there pre or post cruise? This itinerary also makes a stop at San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, if anyone knows anything about this port. Thanks!

Pudgesmom Posted January 20, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2005 We're taking this cruise at the end of 2005. I have been reading the Lonely Planet Guides for both Costa Rica and Panama. The stop in Nicaragua goes to the oldest European settlement in the New World, Grenada, and also an active volcano. Both guidebooks seem to have excellent information for these infrequently visited ports. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary Posted January 24, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Beth, We will be on the 12-3 cruise. Is that the one you will be on? Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgesmom Posted January 24, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Gary- We'll miss you by about two weeks. We'll be on 12/27 for the New Year's Eve trip. I think it's a little longer, 11 days. I hope you'll post a review when you return, especially on the different ports. What are you doing for hotel accomodations? Windstar wants $360pp for a night at the Intercontinental in San Jose- we're NOT doing that! This will be our first non-mass market cruise. I have to say I'm already planning not to go back. This sounds like a great alternative. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary Posted February 15, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2005 We are staying two nights at the Marriott in San Jose and then two nights at the Los Suenos Marriott in Puntarenas. We have a lot of Marriott points so that has made our choice easy. It seems that hotels in costa rica are very resonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
