Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Yes... for however long Disney will let them keep accessing the beach.
  2. Believe it or not, we booked a snorkel tour! Yes, snorkeling in 55 degree water in Ketchikan Alaska!!!! We are from the Bahamas... what am I thinking? We go in September on the Solstice.... We own a tour company in the Bahamas that takes people out snorkeling in our tropical waters, snorkeling on cruises never excites me because we do it all the time. But, after lots of research and things that did not seem to get great reviews or just seemed run of the mill, we found Snorkel Alaska. They go from shore and there are critters there we don't have in the Bahamas. You do get a 7mil wetsuit with gloves, booties, a hood... and the reviews and videos I am seeing look great and the people who have done it say you can't wait to get in the water bcs you're sweating in the wetsuit. So... yep, going to take the plunge.
  3. There's a good one near Princess Cays. Not sure if you're going there...
  4. Nothing in Eleuthera (Princess Cays) yet.
  5. Half Moon Cay is literally a private island in the middle of the ocean. There are nice beaches and quite a few natural things to do - sting rays, snorkeling. Loved the live music on the beach - pretty good band. Princess Cays is actually a rocky piece of beach on the 110 mile long island of Eleuthera. There is so much to see if you book a tour beyond the gate. There are deserted pink sand beaches, blue holes, caves. There's even a local company offering dune buggy trips out to see Lighthouse Beach before Disney changes it forever (I included some photos of Lighthoiuse Beach). It's still undeveloped and probably the prettiest beach I've ever seen. Even if you don't go on a tour, go through the gate and have drinks at the local bar "George's" (photo included). Great local music and pretty scenery.
  6. I agree with Rothko1, Lighthouse Point should not be missed. The cool thing is, you can actually see it now, before Disney changes it forever. If you go to Princess Cays, you can catch an excursion with "Eleuthera Tours" called "Pink Sands" - this will take you 2 miles from the point. You can walk the rest of the way (30 mins on hard packed sand) or hire a dune buggy to get out there. None of this is offered thru the ship, but again, there is a local tour company that can accomodate you. Google Lighthouse Beach Eleuthera to see photos and you will realize it is a MUST SEE when going to Princess Cays.
