This is a fun, specially prepared thing that I created for anyone to get some ideas from (it lists port stops, locations and things to do etc) or to get information about the Holland America , WESTERDAM, sailing in the Eastern Caribbean for 2005.
Please enjoy…..and Bon Voyage!
DAY ZERO, Sunday Departure day and SEA DAY
ALL Sing along "We are leaving on a (jetplane) cruise ship, don't know when we will I'll be back again…"
Today we leave Fort Lauderdale, Florida around 5/6 PM and heading aboard the Westerdam…….we are all out for a relaxing, sunning, funning 7 day cruise aboard the Westerdam sailing into the islands of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, heading to Nassau, Bahamas, and then onto our other Eastern Caribbean port stops of, Nassau, Bahamas, St. Maarten, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, and Half Moon Cay, Bahamas and then back home to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
DAY ONE Monday Arrival in Nassau, Bahamas
Arrive 7 AM Depart 12/Noon = 5 hours
Where the Westerdam is docked-Prince George Wharf, near Rawson Square.
Visit the Info Kiosk at the front of the cruise ship pier to visit the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism desk for information or picking up maps, brochures, etc.
What to do for our 5 hour stop in Nassau?
Here is a short list of things to do for all Cruisers while in port for 5 hours:
· Take a Jitney bus run between the downtown area to Cable Beach and Paradise Island Every-30-minute intervals. Fares vary .75 cents USD to $1.00
· The Nassau Water Taxi departs every 30 minutes from behind the Straw Market to Paradise Island, operating daily from 9 a.m. The roundtrip cost is $6. The trip takes just 15 minutes, but the water taxi may not depart on time, due to people boarding late etc.
· Visit the Atlantis Hotel on Paradise Island- Spend a few hours as a guest at the 34-acre Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, Consider purchasing a day pass for about $25 ($19 for kids). Pass gets you access to most of the must-see sights at the resort, such as the Dig, the marine habitats and their beach. What you won't get is the fun stuff around the pools and waterslides. Visit the Atlantis kiosk selling the passes by the cruise terminal -- or you can purchase one at the resort.Take the Nassau Water Taxi or a cab. OR If you decide to walk to the Atlantis it will take you well over an hour to hoof it and don't forget the walk back. Cab rates average $10-12 per person/one way to the Atlantis!
· Walk around, or photograph, or chat with the locals of historic Nassau.
· Shop at The Straw Market at its digs along the waterfront near Bay Street just beyond the British Colonial Hilton. (All things straw and artwork made by locals, including shopping bags, handbags, hats and wonderful dolls.)
· Horse-drawn surreys can be found around Rawson Square and along Bay Street. They run about $5-10 USD for 30 minutes, but are always negotiable.
· Fine shopping is located on Bay Street(where you'll find tonier shops like Gucci, Coach, etc as are the dozens of shops inside the Nassau International Bazaar at Woodes Rogers Walk and Charlotte Street.)
· The conch vendors are just part of the scene at Potters Cay, a Bahamian marketplace beneath Paradise Island Bridge. Find plenty of authentic Bahamian vendors selling crafts, straw, etc.
· Visit an 18th-century Fort Charlotte. Chippingham Road. It's fun to roam the dungeons and underground passageways and see the waterless moat -- but see the amazing views of the harbor from the ramparts. Two other forts worth checking out are Fort Fincastle (overlooks town from Bennet's Hill) & Fort Montagu (E. Bay St.). All Open at 8 AM.
· We dare you to take a royal climb up the 66 steps of the Queen's Staircase, which was carved out of calcareous, a coral-based sandstone at the end of the 18th century. The stupendous view is the prize for your heart-thumping workout! On Elizabeth Ave.
· Closest Beaches: Paradise Island (Via cab or Jitney bus) all water sports rentals and beach swimming/sunning. OR Cabbage Beach-another good choice is Cable Beach, with all the usual beach amenities- Baby-powder-soft sand and dazzling beachfront resorts (Pick up your cab or jitney bus ride back to the pier at any of these resorts).
DAY TWO Tuesday
SEA DAY
The Westerdam is cruising in the Atlantic Ocean, sailing past the islands of the Turks & Caicos, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands-St. Thomas, past Tortola & Anguilla-British Virgin Islands, and arriving in Philipsburg, St. Maarten on day three.
Along the way, in the Atlantic Ocean-look for the part of the ocean that is the darkest ocean blue that you can see (best to see from the top most point of the ship) and look for the deep, dark, dark blue area that stretches across the ocean for over 400 miles long, as we sail through these waters--this is the very, very, very deep (1 mile down) Puerto Rico trench…. some of the deepest parts of the Atlantic Ocean, and in the world. The boat may rock and sway along this area a little more than normal, in this area, it all depends. Also, look for the small white and grey birds and seagulls will visit the cruise ships-looking for a bread crumb or small fruit snack YOU MAY SEE THEM,(they fly over the ship and some land on board-while we cruise along these islands. Very friendly and cute birds.) I don't know which island they come from, but they are very familiar with cruise ships and always are flying around the ship while at sea and they come out to greet the tourists.
DAY THREE Wednesday
Arrival in Philipsburg, St. Maarten
Arrive 10 AM Depart 11 PM = 12 hours
Where the Westerdam is docked-We are either tendered or at the pier/depends on number of cruise ships that "beat us" into getting a prime pier parking space. If we don't get a pier parking space-we tender (FYI the tender ride is little bumpy and takes 20-30 minutes to get aboard and get into Philipsburg.)
What to do for our 12 hour stop in St. Maarten?
There is so much to do on both sides of the Island. There is the Dutch side which Westerdam will dock or tender at Philipsburg….or then there is the French side or Marigot…..SO For detailed information please check out these websites which are chock Full of things to do, places to go, snorkeling, boating, sunning and funning in St. Maarten. Have a great time!

Good Websites for Tortola:
www.bviwelcome.com (http://www.bviwelcome.com/) www.bvitouristboard.com (http://www.bvitouristboard.com/)
BUT, to save your time, here is a COMPILED LIST of nice list of things, that I have made for you, to do for all Cruisers while in port:
Best Beaches for swimming/sunning/hanging out:Long Bay This is a lovely mile-long stretch of white sand beach. A hotel and several guest houses line its eastern portion. The western end offers greater solitude and good swimming. The ultimate in Caribbean beaches--palm trees, white sand, emerald reefs breaking with surf, its photogenic vistas. Popular but less crowded because it's harder to reach by land and cannot be reached by water. Apple Bay "The Surfing Beach," is home of the surfer's bar - Bomba's Shack, as well as a small community and hotel. Apple Bay area, including Little Apple Bay, Cappoons Bay, and Carrot Bay, has a variety of beaches that are often narrow, but sometimes rocky. Cane Garden Bay (VOTED BEST BEACH BY Frommers and Conde Nast Magazine) this bay has a gently curving beach and is a popular anchorage. There are watersports, restaurants, bars and guesthouses. Josiah's Bay On the north shore near East End, has a dramatic beach, rough undertow for snorkeling. Lambert Beach (aka: Elizabeth Beach) This is a wide, palm fringed beach, which can be reached from East End by private road.
Best Beaches for snorkeling: Smugglers Cove Small sandy beach at the western tip of Tortola, offers good snorkelling. A fascinating beach, with its own honor bar and bit of history, its benign conditions make it everyone's favorite secret "hidden" beach. Brewer's Bay This lush, tropical bay has two beach bars, a campground and good snorkelling. Trellis Bay on Beef Island. More of a beach for exploring, Trellis Bay has a little of everything--artisan shops, a quaint market, an charming restaurant, watersports rentals and a long curving beach for beachcombing, hunting marine life, and snorkeling. The Indians. The east side toward Pelican Island is excellent for snorkeling, especially the "fish bowl." In the shallows, damselfishes chase the algae-grazing schools of blue tang. Nearby off Pelican Island is Rainbow Canyons with good snorkeling in the shallows. Other good snorkeling sites are Spy Glass, Sandy's Ledge and Angelfish Reef.
The Joseph Reynold O'Neal Botanic Gardens located near the Police Station in Roadtown is a place to find a good representation of tropical and subtropical plants, such as bread fruit, passion fruit, mangos, ferns, succulents, orchids and palm trees. The gardens are open daily. Admission is free, but donations are welcome!
Going to Virgin Gorda? and Other BVI Islands information
Beaches: The Baths Giant boulders form a series of spectacular pools and grottoes which flood with sea water, creating an unforgettable setting. Nearby snorkeling is excellent. Spring Bay Neighboring the Baths, has white sand, clear water and good snorkelling. Trunk Bay This is a wide sand beach reachable by boat or along a rough path from Spring Bay. Savannah Bay This is a sandy beach north of the Yacht Harbour. Mahoe Bay beach at the Mango Bay Resort has a gently curving beach with vivid blue water. The Crawl is great for small children and novice snorkelers. Giant boulders create a small "lagoon" of clear calm water, complete with some reefs, tropical fish, and even an occasional sea turtle. Prickly Pear Island (Vixen Point) in the North Sound. A nice calm swimming beach with a beach bar. Hike up over the ridge through the Prickley Pear nature refuge to North Beach for outstanding swimming, snorkeling, sightseeing and beachcombing.
Take a ferry boat ride over to St. John for beaches and tropical siteseeing or St. Thomas for rum cake and very excellent jewelry shopping-best in the Caribbean! Fares between Tortola & St. John are approximately $40 adult round-trip Fares from Tortola to Virgin Gorda are approximately $20 adult round-trip. Smith's Ferry and Native Son stagger departure times between Tortola and St. Thomas by 30 minutes.
Other Islands near Tortola: Norman Island, which is the reputed setting for Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. It is still known for tales of hidden treasure. Treasure Point has three caves which are good for snorkelling. Peter Island, location of one of the territory's better-known luxury resorts. The island also offers peaceful quiet beaches. Deadman's Bay. Considered one of the Caribbean's most beautiful beaches, Deadman's Bay is but one of five beaches on Peter Island. Deadman's Bay has good snorkeling at both ends. Deadman's Bay Bar & Grill is right on the beach for lunch. Salt Island, where, before the days of refrigeration, salt was harvested from two large ponds for curing local fish and for sale to passing ships. This is also the site of the famous Wreck of the Rhone Marine Park. Lying east of Salt Island is Cooper Island, where there is a good swimming beach.
