cruisers without kids

I am on the 8/31 sailing and we too are changed.  I received an email from my travel agent on 12/30 indicating the island change and port time changes.  I am glad to read people like Tortola better.  

Cool Cruiser,

One warning about that flight you have.  I was booked on that late flight, Jet Blue for a cruise in 2017.  I always book far in advance.  About 3 months prior to leaving, they cancelled that flight.  I had a choice of much earlier in the day (would have had to take another day off from work) or early the next morning.  I choose early the next morning.  Got in 10 hours later than planned, but saved a night in the hotel.   I told jet blue that I was going to miss an tour that I had booked and they moved me to a more leg room seat at no charge.  I hope your trip goes as planned but wanted to make you aware.  BTW, I was flying from Newark.  Have fun!!!

And which dock (pier) does Celebrity use?   Thanks for the info!

I have not done this specific tour yet, but I have it booked for early September. I have used Irie Tours on each of my last three visits to Curacao and have been happy with each one.

I would say overall we wouldn’t stay at the Holiday Inn Express again. The area is nice, but the hotel was just…too basic for me. Since we normally don’t get suites or anything fancy for our cruises, I love getting a nice pre cruise hotel and next time I’ll stick to resorts. Free breakfast and wifi didn’t really make up for the small room and accommodations. I did take a little walk through of the La Concha, which is also in Condado area, and next time I will stay there – WOW!

I stayed at La Concha 2 nights pre cruise in September 2016 and have my reservation there for 3 nights in September 2017 already. Loved it!!!

Good evening all. I tried to attach 2 files but i think they were too big. Instead, I have put in a dropbox link. I scanned them with 600 dpi so they would look good. One with days 1-3 and the other with days 4-7. This is from the September 3-10 trip that went from San Juan to St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Aruba and Curacao. My DW wife and I had a wonderful time and met some great people. Please let me know if this worked. It will be the first time I actually used dropbox. Happy Cruising!

Thank you very much for your time and effort in doing your review. We sail in September on a different itinerary, but I enjoyed your thoughts and pictures very much. Thank you again.

Thank you all for the nice comments. Both Scott and I loved this cruise - and the ship. In fact, we'll be sailing her again September 3rd, and can't wait!!!

Thank you so much for the review. MY DW and I will be on the same cruise with you on September 3rd. Come join the roll call! I hope your experience with AOS will come in handy. Thank you again!

Following along for your review. My DW and I sail in early September and I want to soak up as much knowledge as I can. Thank you so much in advance for spending your time so that others can benefit and learn.

My wife and I are on the Imagination in November. It will be our first time on Carnival. I love your writing style. It is such a great read. Thank you and I am looking forward to more.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I will raise a glass to him next week on the Star.
