Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. La Seyne is the port. I have already looked at all the ship has to offer and researched. Looking for opinions of from people who had a great excursion in this port. Thanks for your suggestions.
  2. Any suggestions for the Toulon/Provence, France port? Any great must do excursions? Thanks for any tips.
  3. Our little town is very walkable with about 5 main streets to explore. There is a port area and tons of beach-front restaurants. We have one of the world's largest Jesus statues (like Rio de Janeiro) that is about an hour hike from the ship (up hill) or you can catch a taxi. Taxi's will charge you more if they can tell you are a tourist or don't speak Spanish, but no more than $20 bucks round trip.(feel free to negotiate) On a clear day the view is amazing and you can see for many miles. Cristo de la Misericordia or Christ the Mercy is the name if you want to look it up. We have bay after bay after bay of amazing beaches, including ones where Survivor was filmed. You can walk from the ship to a hotel called, Casa Oro. They have daily shuttles to all the beaches in the back of a big truck with benches for less than 10 bucks. Just confirm the return time to make it back to the ship. Our favorites are Playa Hermosa - 30 minute one way where Survivor was filmed. Cost is about 3 dollars US to enter. They have restrooms, showers, palapas with tables and chairs and a restaurant. If you like surfing, catch a ride to Playa Maderas or Playa Remanso. They are more rustic but provide restaurants and restrooms along with surf board rentals and surf lerssons. Otherwise, it won't take more than a couple of hours to explore the town and then eat at a water front restaurant. Enjoy!
  4. We live in San Juan del Sur, so I will answer based on what we know. The government has been very strict since the beginning of the pandemic, so it would not allow any ships in port. Just last month they finally dropped the within 72 hour mandatory negative PCR test for entry into the country for those vaccinated. (residents and visitors) We truly miss seeing the cruise ships in our port, and they provide much needed income to the locals. Hopefully they will drop the required PCR test for all soon, then cruise ships can continue. As long as the PCR is required for unvaccinated within 72 hours, cruise ships will most likely not return.
