Did you book with Virgin Kayak? We did this last year and loved it. We got off our ship (Adventure of the Seas) as soon as the announced we could get off and had no problem getting there in time.

We booked a tour with SeaThru Kayaks which looks like it might be fantastic!

Having never cruised before, I am beginning to worry that I may have made an error in booking a kayaking trip independently.

We are supposed to be in port (Celebrity Summit 12/22) at 8am. Our excursion starts at 9:15 for kayaking up near Christiansted. We are renting a car at Budget to get there.

Does it take a long time to get off the ship? Will the rental car process take forever? I think that we will be fine as long as we can be in the car and on our way no later than 8:40. Is this even possible?:confused:

We did Eric's about 2 years ago and had a great time! Booked directly through their website.

My now husband and I went to Curacao for our honeymoon. We both felt very comfortable and were never given a second glance.

The only caution I would put in is that Curacao is definitely not the place to go if you are looking for bars/clubs/nightlife... we found it very quiet and laid back-- no vendors on the beach, no "braid your hair?", no timeshares... sometimes it was as if people really didn't care if we were there or not. I really liked it for that reason alone. Most of the tourists were European... lots of Dutch families.

It was beautiful and one of the most wonderful places I have ever been.
