Like aimodels said, it's an easy, safe walk to The Boatyard.

 

Here is a overhead showing the dock in the upper left and The Boatyard in the lower right. Just keep the water on your right and you can't go wrong.

 

Enjoy your holiday on the island! :)

 

Thank you for the map. Looks easy to navigate.

I can't remember if there's any signage for the Boatyard along the way. It's very easy to get there, just head away from the cruise port and keep walking with the ocean on your right.

 

You can always ask a local if you're unsure. They are generally quite friendly and willing to help out.

 

There is good signage in front of the Boatyard, and generally a good collection of taxis in the parking lot. You can't miss it.

 

Here's a good photo of what the street view looks like:

You will have to pay your entrance fee before you go inside.

 

The walk is safe and quite scenic...

 

Cheers, P:)

Thank you very much for the info!

Both are within walking distance if no one in your group has mobility issues.

 

From the cruise terminal to downtown is about 1/2 mile, maybe a little more.

 

From the cruise terminal to The Boatyard is about a mile, maybe a little more.

 

From the terminal, head southeast to the roundabout at the south port gates. Keep walking along Princess Alice Hwy. with the ocean on your right.

 

Eventually, PAH becomes Wharf Rd. as you pass the marina on your right. Turn right at the bridge and go across.

 

Now you should be on Bay St. and the ocean should still be on your right. Keep walking about 100 yards or so and The Boatyard will be on your right.

 

Cheers, P:)

Are there signs along the way for Boatyard? I was thinking we might walk and then taxi back unless it is not safe or scenic? Just don't want to get lost, lol..

What is the cost for the water taxi? And what beach does it drop you off at?

Thank you!

My kids had a blast on the Ecstasy. 10, 14, 17 at the time during Thanksgiving.. I think if you go during a school vacation or summer time when more kids are on board you can't go wrong no matter the ship. My children loved the kids programs on board, even my shy 14 year old had a blast and made lots of friends.

Thanks. How much are the buckets on the ship and how many beers come in them? The pre order 4 packs through BV start at $22..

From my calculations We would save between $200-300 buying from BV on a 7 day cruise.

Is this a recent change? I cruised with friends a couple years ago and I am pretty sure they pre ordered 3 or 4 bottles from BV. Also, can I order another bottle once I get on the boat from room service?

I am trying to pre-buy a couple bottles of whiskey and one of rum for our cruise and it will only let me buy two bottles for my booking. Wth??

Is it cheaper to buy buckets of beer on the cruise or to pre order the 4 packs online before the cruise?
