Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Blaise, I think you and I were on the same cruise. Jewel from 2/3-2/10? The umbrellas and chairs were at least 3 deep. But with so many food and bev options, we never waited for anything.
  2. We use Jo Junie Tours when we are in St Maarten. https://www.jojunietours.com/fun-day-tour/
  3. Cosol Tours!!! Here is a copy of the Cosol Tour. The tour is about 6- 7 hours. A non-refundable deposit of $20 pp is required to secure booking. Balance can be paid in advance or in cash. Confirmation reply required. You are guaranteed to be back in time. We will be stopping every 10 mins for your "wow" photo moments. Entrance fee to the volcano is included in the price. We will be visiting the banana plantation where you will learn about the banana growth. Then we drive through two fishing villages, Anse La Raye and Canaries. Also, if time permits, we will be visiting Marigot Bay where the movie Dr Doolittle was filmed. Then, we will be stopping to sample the local fish cakes, johnny cakes, coconut cakes, and a variety of local fruits from the Island. We will have a mobile bar with complimentary rum punch, water, local beer and sodas. As we descend towards the town of Soufriere we will have an overlook of the twin pitons. We will be taking the water taxi to Sugar Beach, which is located between the piton for swimming and snorkeling. During the ride you will enjoy the unbelievable views of the coast. Please bring along your snorkeling gears. It is also available for rental for US$10 per set. Then, to the only drive-in volcano in the world, you can either do the volcano tour or mud bath. For the Volcano tour, you will be getting an informative guide to show you around and give you a brief history of the place. Or you could dip in the mineral mud bath and feel relaxed and rejuvenated. We recommend wearing dark bathing suits for the mud baths, as the sulphur in the water may stain suits. There will also be a stop at Morne Fortune viewing point, you will have a brief view of the city and a view of the Governor General House. You can also shop for local souvenirs to take back home. Bring along your camera and towels. Because of the small changing room at the stops, it is advisable to wear your swimsuit under your garment to save time.
  4. Just got back from our cruise. LOVED Maracas Beach!!!! The vendors are very polite. There are about 5 Bake & Sharks to choose from. We ate at Richard's and were not disappointed. Two chairs and an umbrella was $20. The Sandwiches from the Bake & Shark were $9 each. Got a coconut from a vendor for $5. Beers and sodas were around $2-$3 each. A very long beach but I didn't find a good area for snorkeling. We will definitely return but will leave our fins and masks at home. our
  5. I never got any info. I will leave a response once we return from this cruise.
  6. As a rule I love Embassy Suite for a crowd. They sleep six and have a very nice breakfast.
  7. I buy a pack of 25 ducks to hide per cruise. I LOVE finding them as well. Normally I don't re-hide but save as my spoils of the game. I also wear Mickey Ears. It saddens me that someone would actively hunt ducks just to throw away. That's pretty mean-spirited.
  8. If you decide to just go to the airport, SJU has two clubs you can buy into. They can be found at terminals A & C. Food, drinks & WIFI offered at both for $40 a person. Both also have flight monitors so you dont lose track of time.
  9. Our cruise stops in Trinidad & Tobago. I was sad to see that every option I found for entertainment was for weekends only. Has anyone ventured over to this beach and eatery? We are all about trying street food and options that the locals like.
  10. Hi all!! I was wondering if anyone knew what themed parties they still offer in the evening. We are a 7 night of the southern Caribbean on the Jewel.
  11. Hello! I just watched a video review. They mentioned that there was a STYX cover band in June 2022. IS there anyway to learn if they will still be onboard, or what their replacement is?
