3 ships in port-Marriott or Carambola?

there will be 3 ships in port for our spring break. Oasis docks 3 hours before our ship. We have a chair/umbrella reservation @ Carambola, but I am worried it will be massively crowded by the time we get there @ 10:30am. We don't need solitude, but don't want to be in the water with masses of people. Should we just get a day pass @ Marriott instead?

It would probably be quieter at the Marriott. Looking at the cruise schedules, there will be about 13,000 cruisers in port that day.

I too would select the Marriott.

can you swim in the ocean @ Marriott? we have teens who would want to bob around on rafts, but not is rough water.

We were thinking of doing a day pass at Marriott but after reading the reviews on trip advisor I am really not sure. It mentions that the beach can be ruff and it is not clear because it is the Atlantic side .. If anyone has ever been there what was your experience ?? We have small kids who will want to be in the water we did Carambola last time we were there and it was really nice I just didn't like how the water dropped off as soon as you got in and the day we were there it was rather ruff but other than that we had a great day there.

I too would select the Marriott.

How much was the typical food and drink at Carambola?

thanks to all who posted. We decided to just brave Carambola, as our kids will only want to stay 2-3 hours and have do have chairs/umbrella reserved. Has anyone been on a packed day? Any photos? Is it about the same as Royal Palms in Grand Cayman?

Palm Court may be one you might possibly consider.

While there is no access to the beach, it has a large pool with comfortable lounge chairs and a great view overlooking the water.

Does anyone know about how much are beers and frozen drinks at Carambola? I've seen the food menus but they don 't show a drink menu

Thanks!

In the UK we have to pay up to 4 times the price for drinks compared to the USA and Caribbean. But we are on vacation, being happy to pay what it is, and not count individual beans before leaving.

Carambola asks a fair price, but if you wish to save a dollar or two, suggest a walk down to Shipwreck, where beds are free when eating/drinking. If it is not washed away by now.

An idea in US Dollars for snacks and refreshments at Carambola

Burger $12.00

Pizza $12/18.00

Beer $3/4.00

Glass of wine from $6.00

Gin & Tonic $6.00

Good selection of quality rums from $5.00 (have El Dorado 21 & 25 )

If you require a detailed list just send an E-mail to Carambola for the drink and snacks menus.
