    Hotel in Brooklyn

    in East Coast Departures

    Posted

    Sorry to highjack.   But .... New Yorkers -  hubby and I are sailing NCL Prima transatlantic cruise in September, London - NYC.    We are staying in Manhattan a few days after our cruise and would like to spend a day in Brooklyn.   I was born in Brooklyn (Greenpoint) but moved away when I was 4.  Any suggestions of what our best mode of transportation to get there from Manhattan, things to see, where to eat, bars, etc.   Thanks for any input! 

     

    Sunshine comprehensive trip report 7/7/18 Eastern Caribbean

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    I am loving your review ! We leave on The Sunshine on September 8th. We sailed her last voyage as the Destiny before they sent her to be transformed into The Sunshine. I am in shock that I read in your review that there isn't a dedicated nightclub. That is very disappointing. ! Thank you for the heads up on that ! Keep the great review coming !

     

    DH and I are sailing her on September 8th too!

    Orient Beach update...

    in St. Martin/St. Maarten

    Posted

    We were at Orient Beach yesterday, 7/27. Beach was beautiful. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas for rent. We paid $30 for 3 chairs and umbrellas. There is a brand new bar, restaurant and facilities on site. Waiters patrolling beach to take food/drink orders. They were working hard to make it a great experience. Parasailing and jet skis were also available.

    Thanks for the update! We are porting there next month and wondered how OB was.

    Snorkeling from the beach

    in Barbados

    Posted

    We loved Carlisle Bay in Barbados! This is one of our favorite ports and we always head straight to Lobster Alive which is next door to The Boatyard, but a lot quieter and less rowdy. I believe we pay $15 for 2 chairs, umbrella, and 2 drink coupons. We snorkel with the turtles about 100 yds off the beach every time we're there. The boat vendors will approach you for snorkeling and will start off with a higher rate, but we pay $20 pp and this was recently. We've walked both ways many times and it's no more than a 30 min leisurely walk. The walk is very nice along the waterfront and through the marina and over the bridge. We like to walk there in the morning and cab it back in the afternoon heat. You'll love it!!

     

     

    We'll have to try that next time. We've only been to this port once. Thanks for suggestion. [emoji267]
