mentioned it because.....chankanaab had poor snorkeling last time we were there....nice beach, nice places to walk, marine animal shows etc....but we enjoy a few hrs of snorkeling and not "beaching" it for a day....

at least 5 years since we went to channkanab....and it was not good....since then have taxied to the Money Bar on two trips since then and it is much nicer AND free (except for the taxi RT to our ship). drinks good...good service too.

dont need a beach, just a way into the water....this is great info. thanks again

thanks! fab pix too! now i remember the name "eden rock" ! did not know about the other spot further down....will surely check it out. our friends do not have their own gear, does either place rent?

i am not on facebook, (refuse to) but will check trip advisor and see if they have email.... thanks

It has been several years since we were in the caymans...in the past, we walked to the right after getting off the ship to a beach bar where you could use your own gear and snorkel from the beach. anyone know if this is still possible?

we will be in cozumel in a few weeks and had planned on taking our gear to the Money Bar for a few hours of snorkeling and drinks. anyone been there recently? is the area still open to snorkelers from the beach?

exactly why i put quotes around FREE !! there is NO free lunch! but, after you paid the fare...it feels "free" while onboard despite the higher price tag....😉

when we went to alaska a few years ago, i used the local libraries when they were close to where we docked.

guess my google search of internet on HAL was way off! will just get on while in port at a freebie (or drinkie buy)

how bad is the internet on nieuw statendam? (i am now spoiled by oceana and viking where it is "free"...) i usually only check emails twice a day, delete spam and send a few imessages....I know where several wifi spots are in the ports we will visit....but it might be worth buying the 100 min package if it does not take forever to connect on board...any advice?

thanks! for the clarification

for $49confused....if you only do one bag mid week...it's only $7? i wouldn't need a bag daily!

? forgot to include "notify me of replies"

we are on the nieuw statendam soon....no more self launderettes....(boo hoo)....is there a special of $49/cruise for unlimited laundry done by ship's laundry?
