The 1 Liter bottles were $8 each when I bought them, that was Nov. 2014.

Cruzan's website says the tour is $8. I understand this includes 2 cocktails.

Questions:

1. Do they sell rum at the distillery? I assume they do, but wanted to confirm.

2. Does anyone else in town offer good prices on bottles of Cruzan rum (since we can bring back 5 liters per person...)?

That is correct. They also allow you 4 samples of whatever you would like to try.

Yes. They do sell rum at the distillery.

I'm not sure about buying in town, we didn't bother to check as we were heading to the distillery. We did notice on some of the islands, prices in the stores were maybe $2-3 per more per bottle than what we paid at Cruzan.

We just hired a cab at the port (there were 4 adults). Our driver took us to the rum factory, then to a beach. Came back and picked us up at the appointed time and took us back to the ship. We don't recall the cost of the cab but it was reasonable. The tour of the factory was about $5 pp. We are planning to do it again in Jan.

Thanks for sharing. I'll be in St. Croix on Sunday, and want to vist the rum factory.

I hope they will show the Thanksgiving Football games. Gotta watch that Eagles Dallas game! I will be on my honeymoon on the Summit at that time.

Thank you for the excellent review with photos. Very well done, and detailed. My fiancee and I will be sailing the same ship and itinerary Nov. 22, 2014 for our honeymoon. We can not wait.

Good to know. Thanks!

Thank you for the review with so much detail and many beautiful pictures!!! My future husband and I will be sailing the same ship, same itinerary, in November for our honeymoon. It will be my first time cruising and I can't wait!

A2Mich: Thanks! I'll definitely need to make sure I pack the extra batteries.

Alpha84: Thanks! I'll be sure to check that board out.

I just got a waterproof case that has an armband and lanyard for cash and phone to be put in whilst snorkeling whilst onshore so I wouldn't worry about leaving them on the beach unattended.

Great idea!

Thank you for the advice everyone!

Roz, I never thought of a backpack, that would work great! I have a small one for my laptop that I'm now thinking would be perfect.

Hi all. I will be cruising for my honeymoon, Southern Caribbean, 7 night, in late November on Celebrity.

1. What types of clothing should I pack for the time spent on the ship, and for time spent in port? (For both myself and future husband.)

We have appropriate clothing for the formal nights, so we are good on that end.

2. Also, ladies, what type of purse or bag should I use to bring on shore? I am a Type 1 Diabetic, so I will definitely need to have my glucose meter, as well hand sanitizer, and my glucose gels in the event I experience a low blood sugar.

3. Any other Type 1 Diabetics out there, how do you figure your supplies for cruising? I am a notorious over packer for insulin pump and glucose testing supplies, but how many snacks/emergency glucose packets should I plan for the shore excursions.

4. I have gone deep sea fishing in the past with my dad, and I know I didn't get seasick on the fishing boats with some pretty good rollers. But should I plan for the potential of the ship being different? What is a good brand of motion sickness meds so I can be prepared?

Thank you!
