Are the zip lines included in the admission price? I could see the admission being so high, if that was the case.

Yes, all the fun stuff is included in the cost of admission...zip lines, slides, lazy river, zip coaster, ropes course, pools, etc. The only extra costs would be snacks/food and beverages.

Ken, thanks for posting this great review and all the pictures. I've already bought my ticket and I can NOT wait!! I will be doing every slide and zip and course they have. I love this stuff. Totally worth the $89 to me.

KimKTN, this park is not located on the beach but there are lounge chairs around the adult pool. You can see them in the photo.

Thanks Bill! Ok, 2 people that have done it twice...I'm SOLD!! :)

Thanks for the feedback! I'm gonna do it :D

I have not done the tour with Leeward Island Charters yet but I've been in touch with them (emailing) about booking a large group. They have catamarans that hold 25, 45 and 75.

Has anyone done the Excellence Circumnavigation tour with Tropical Adventures on Antigua? Sounds like a great day and good reviews on another site. Catamaran, snorkel, beach, lunch & drinks.

Thanks for the feedback! Seems dumb to me.....unless we're all missing something :confused: but whatever, no harm done.

I think it's funny, one of the people requesting me as a friend has over 2,600 friends already. That just sounds exhausting!! Ha ha

When I login I have notifications saying I have 'Incoming Friend Requests'. Then when I click on it, it shows a list of people that have requested to be my friend. What are the pros or cons of having 'friends' here? Why would I accept these requests, or why would I request to be someone elses friend?

Yes, I'm on Facebook and I get the whole 'friend' thing there, those are people I know, but this seems odd to me.

Here is a porthole (2217) on the Glory, perfect for my daughter and I!! We loved it :D

I booked a guarantee cabin on my first cruise and got my cabin assignment 2 weeks before sailing.

If it's such a big deal why didn't you pay a little and pick your cabin in the first place.

 

I can't even put into words what an amazing day we had on Calabazza.

 

I agree, I went with Calabaza in 2010 and to this day it's still one of my all time favorites! :D

Magens also has a $4 per person entrance fee, Sapphire and Coki do not.

Magens is beautiful, not great for snorkeling though, too much white sand.

Here is Magens Bay

Here is Sapphire

You need to be aware that the limit for duty free is one carton per adult.

That changes depending on what ports you visit. From US Customs and Border Protection website: Once every 31 days, a resident returning from travel from American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), or the Virgin Islands of the United States may import 1,000 cigarettes (5 cartons), not more than 200 of which acquired elsewhere than in such locations

So, in other words, if one of your ports is St. Thomas your duty free limit will be 5 cartons.

I am not sure what the tax is per carton when you bring them into the country.

It's just over $10 per carton, and it must be paid in cash.

I went with Blue Water Safaris on my last cruise. It was an excellent day and I'd book with them again in a heartbeat. The catamaran is docked right within walking distance from the ship so you don't waste any precious excursion time travelling in a van. The snorkeling was excellent, we went to ****ten Bay (and I'm not ****ten you mon). I snorkel all over and I'm not easily impressed with most snorkel excursions but this one was right up there. Crew was great and they had their hands full on this trip with lots of first time snorkelers, everyone had a ball. Lunch was good and drinks were good.

I actually looked into booking with them again on my cruise next month but noticed that when sailing Carnival you can only book them thru the ship. I'm not big on booking thru the ship, for one thing it's about $10 more and I hate how over crowded the ship excursions are. I will only go with them again if I can book independently, like I did when sailing on Royal Caribbean.

RCI is now giving double points for solo cruisers.

Is this new? My last cruise was solo on Royal Caribbean and I didn't get double points.

I've been browsing pictures of the OV's. Looks like the windows are pretty dirty (salty/wet) most of the time......can you actually see out of them? Take pictures? :confused:

 

Thanks!

You are right, OV's have a salty film. You can definately see out enough to know if you are in port or out to sea, but no good for taking pictures.

Condado beach area

Government building

El Yunque Rainforest....

Old San Juan streets...

Fort San Cristobal....

Cemetery between the forts....

Whether its a 'good deal' or not really is different for everyone. I'm on a pretty strict budget so if I already have a balcony I would not spend $300 for a suite. I'd rather spend that money on excursions and having fun. But if you've got the money to spare and maybe it's an anniversary cruise or something special it may well be worth it to you to splurge on the suite.

Can you tell us why it doesn't work?

It works for me, already posted there this morning. As others have said try clearing cookies....

Anyone on this cruise? Wondering about transportation to Houston. Staying an extra night in town.

You might have better luck checking in the "Roll Call" section for your cruise. :D

I was hoping to get an upgrade.

If you really want a specific room, just call and pay for the upgrade. I've done it on my last 3 cruises.

I don't think it's very often that people are called and offered an upgrade for free, unless there has been a price drop anyway. Most people that get calls to upgrade are offered the upgrade for a price. Sometimes that price is worth it to them, sometimes it can't be justified.

I just made the upgrade to an aft for my upcoming cruise.

Do it....you'll never know until you try! :D You probably can't wait too long, by comparison there are not many 'aft' cabins available.

Frankly I wanted off the ship. I told DH I wanted to get off the ship and fly home. I didn't care how much more it would cost to change the flight, but I wanted off !!!

You wanted to end your cruise because you didn't get FTTF? Sorry I cannot see the crisis.

How is this my fault when I'm misinformed.

Who said it was your fault? Part of the adventure of travel is getting thru the little hiccups without a meltdown.
