Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Personally I like it over at Redhook. It's a breathe of fresh air from the Havensight or Crown Bay rat race. Sapphire Beach is right there. Depending on what time you're ship disembarks you could always take the ferry over to St. John and chill out for a few hours. Once you get over to that side of the island I would spend my day over there in some capacity. Sapphire Beach is one of my favorite beaches on STT. Go to the beach first and then go up to Duffy's. It's a cool bar. Have fun.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
  2. Btw welcome to Cruise Critic. Just for the record when you need a taxi back into town, walk back down to the Redhook ferry terminal, they'll be a half a dozen or so taxis waiting on passengers to take back to either pier. No problem no worries.
  3. No I haven't taken that tour but I have been by the beach you mentioned $35 for transportation to and from plus beach chair lunch and a drink, can't beat it. That's a great beach I've been to all the beaches around it, they're all awesome. Good choice. If you decide to take this tour when your on the beach look to your left at about 10 o'clock the island with steam and smoke coming out of it is Montserrat(8 miles away) it's an active volcano or was when I was there. Great beach great views wonderful water. Go have fun.🤜🤛
  4. I've done this. Just take a taxi no problemo. Tell your taxi driver your going to Redhook when he drops you off just walk up the hill to the left and Duffy's is sitting right there at the end of the parking lot. Now taxi from Havensight or Charlotte Amalie $20 each way to Redhook.
  5. Yes!! The best!! Look no further. I miss Lawrence. Thanks PORT ROYAL 🤜🤛
  6. That has gone up a lot. $16 one way? We walked took less than 20 minutes each way. I walked it in my flip flops no problem. The $20 includes your deck chair rental? It was $11 the last 2 times I was there. $15 a drink that's about right, makes for one helluva bar tab every time.
  7. Iguana Joe's. It'll be packed go have dinner and fun with everyone else. Can't miss it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
  8. The whole idea of it is despicable. I saw those poor little monkeys my heart broke for them. What a crock and crummy thing to want to do on your cruise vacation.😦
  9. Just tell the Maitre'd when you walk in the Michaegelo Dining Room your solo and you would be happy to sit at a table with others. He or she will walk you to a big table with your fellow cruisers and seat you. Nice hello all, big smile and your in. Done it dozens of times, never a problem. Have fun no worries.😎
  10. I loved the Carnival Fantasy Class Ships back in the 90's True "Fun Ships". I sailed twice on the Sensation it was a blast. Got on the Destiny in 1997 Inaugural last Carnival Cruise. Jumped to Princess on the advice of a good travel agent and have never looked back. I was on the Carnival Destiny 4th of July 1997, it was a nightmare. Knew I could find another level of cruising and did with Princess. It's just like anything else you get what you pay for. Have fun sailing Princess solo. Alaska on Princess solo you need to forget about everything else and go have a time on your Alaska Cruise. 🤜🤛🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
  11. The Emerald Princess solo there's so much to do all day and night long you can't do everything. Explorers, Crooners and Adagio are awesome bars especially solo. Solo I prefer watching show's in Explorers Lounge more than I do the Princess Theatre. For several reasons mostly bar service and it's easy to get to the restroom and in and out of your seat. Princess Theatre is a nightmare. Crooners and Adagio are the finest martini bars I've ever been in. Great venues on the ship to hangout solo and enjoy a cocktail or two. The Emerald Princess is so solo friendly after my first sailing on it, 2007 Inaugural I went back and did it 4 more time's. I would cruise on her again solo I'm just trying to cruise different ships. It really doesn't matter what ship you cruise with Princess if you want to cruise solo like I do and do your own thing whenever you want Princess is the only way to go. Has been the only way to go for quite sometime. Have fun cruising Princess solo welcome to the party.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
  12. I cruised on the Grand Princess solo 14 days Eastern and Southern Caribbean back in 2012. 2-7 day cruises back to back. Other than the crummy passenger list and my first experience with a crew that was angry and hostile, everything else was great. Not a bad ship undergone extensive renovations over the year's. Grand Princess to Alaska you can't lose it's going to be nice.
  13. Nope I'm saying he takes you from the pier straight to Long Bay Beach on the other side of the island it's beautiful. Spend the morning on the beach get back in the van go straight to Turners right through the rainforest not the scenic route and spend the rest of the afternoon ON THE BEACH. I've done this twice, been to Antigua almost a dozen times and going with Lawrence is tough to beat. Lawrence will personalize your tour but your not going to find a better day than starting out at Long Bay swimming all morning at the beach packing up around noon and heading straight to Turners Beach. We had all afternoon on Turners it was great. Long Bay and Turners and I've been to A LOT of beaches on Antigua are my favorite the idea I get to go to both on the same tour is all me. Nice people nice bus nice drinks. If you don't want to take a tour and want to spend all day on the beach go straight to Turner's from the pier. You'll figure it out. Have fun.😎
