Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thanks. I went ahead & booked a room at the Jazz Corner Hotel in Melbourne for the night after we disembark our cruise right after I made this post. Looks like I made the right choice.
  2. My husband & I just booked a Princess cruise that starts in Sydney & ends in Melbourne Oct 5th. The cruise makes a port stop in Melbourne Sep 28th from 7:00AM-10:00PM. We plan to visit the Healesville Sanctuary that day. We would prefer to fly straight to Queenstown the day we disembark but the latest nonstop flight is at 11:35AM. We are not priority on Princess but we always do self disembark. Would it be to much of a gamble to book the 11:35AM flight? Per Princess website… ’For voyages arriving in Melbourne, the earliest flight departure is 5 hours and 30 minutes after ship's arrival.’ Thanks, Juli
  3. Thanks Corobin. We have decided to go with a hotel day pass post cruise but haven’t decided which hotel yet.
  4. Our cruise ends in Miami January 24th. Our flight home is not until 4:50PM. We usually rent a car & explore for the day so we have something to do with our luggage until our flight. I remember there being long lines to rent a car at the car rental place near the cruise port & I don’t feel like we have enough time to Uber to the airport & rent a car so I am looking at some other options. I am checking out day use hotels. Has anyone booked the Cambria Hotel Miami Airport - Blue Lagoon for the day or do you have a recommendation for a different day use hotel, preferably not to far from the cruise port & airport? I have also looked at a couple of resort day passes. Has anyone booked a resort pass for the day? I also checked on some tours including an Everglades tour. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Juli
  5. Thanks Port Royal. That looks awesome. We have done the See Antigua by Sea 3 times & enjoyed it.
  6. Thanks Port Royal. We are considering staying at a Sandals All Inclusive but that is way to pricey for one day. We have been to Antigua numerous times but looking for something different this time. I will check out the options you gave me. We enjoyed Beach Limerz in January.
  7. Thanks Mitsugirly. I am just now seeing this post. We are going back to St. Thomas January 2024 & looking for another boating day. We will be in port from 11:30AM-7PM. Our day with Pat & Independence Sailing in January was AMAZING even though it was cloudy & the seas were a bit rough. Pat will take out up to 6 people but it was just my husband & I & 2 friends on our day. Pat is a feisty, little woman who definitely knows her way around her sailboat that her husband built. She raised her two kids on the boat. The lunch she cooked & served was delicious too! I would recommend Independence Sailing 100%. It was worth every penny we paid!
  8. Has anyone been to Sandals Grande Antigua lately? If so, how was your day there & what was the cost of a day pass? Thanks, Juli
  9. That stinks! We had an amazing long day in St. Thomas with Captain Pat & Independence Sailing. Captain Pat is an absolute delight!
  10. We did Tour #1 with Green Visions Tours. It was an AMAZING day! We felt like we were being shown around by a friend. We are going back to Ponta Delgada in April & are touring with Green Visions again. You will love Ponta Delgada. It is GORGEOUS! https://greenvisionstours.com/en/tours/
  11. Ms411, sorry but I don’t remember. I just remember that it was a really great day. We had not totally ‘sailed’ before. Fury only offers half day sails & we wanted to maximize our long time in port so we booked with Independence Sailing. Juli
  12. We already have plans for the other ports but NCL changed our itinerary recently & we have 3 extra hours in St. Thomas so I want to maximize our time there. I think we are going to book a day sail with Independence Sailing. Pat has been very quick to respond & has excellent reviews. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjPiKLjrJz8AhVxLkQIHR4EC1gQFnoECCUQAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.independence44.us%2F&usg=AOvVaw2QHmQG-sRvZHtmz8K91kbZ Juli
  13. I will. Our cruise is going to San Juan, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Barbados, Antigua & St. Thomas. We are going with Calabaza Sailing again in Barbados. It is one of the best excursions we have ever done!
