Regatta and time for Orient?

[firstcruisebuzz]

Do we have time to do both the Regatta tour and a trip to Orient if we are in port 8-5? And if so, how what is the best way to handle the logistics? It is myself (mom) and daughter and we are not savvy when it comes to getting from place to place. We are really just trying to get in an excursion and see a great beach at the same time. If this is not possible, any other suggestions on what to do with our day? Thanks!

Do you mean the America's Cup racing?

 

Since those are ship sponsored tours, it would depend on the time of your sail.

 

An early sail, and you might have some time. Anything mid day or later, the answer would be no, unless you grabbed a taxi first off the ship and headed to Orient Beach and then left there an hour or more before the AC tour starts. either way not much time at Orient to really make it worth while, IMO.

We did the mid-day America's Cup and wanted to go from there to Maho beach. A local told us "don't go" as the traffic coming back to town was bad at that time of day. So we will save Maho for our next trip.
