Star Legend in Culebra

Hi cruisers. So we're booked on Legend in December. San Juan to San Juan Dec. 26th. It's a new itinerary.First stop is Culebra where Flamenco Beach is. One of the top 10 beaches in the world. I'm trying to find out if one can get from where the ship anchors to this spot. Any help is appreciated!

Understand that there are lots of taxi's available to the beach. We're going week before you and that's our plan.

We are on this cruise in February, so I will appreciate any information you all have from Culebra when you get back!

Sounds good! Any reports appreciated. Just not sure where the ship will anchor. Fun, funky little island.

Anything where the ship docks??

Town to stroll through?

Bars?

Thanks!

Tim

From LonelyPlanet, "There is taxi service on the island, but they’re basically público vans designed to get large parties of people back and forth between the ferry dock and Playa Flamenco for a couple of dollars per person." can also rent jeeps, golf carts, scooters, bikes. Beaches and nature preserve the top draw.

We were in Culebra last February. You will tender in. The town is very small. But there is a fun place to eat - the Dingy Dock. Good drinks, fish, and sandwiches. You can have a table right along the dock and watch the boats go in and out, as well as see the fresh fish get brought in. The taxi vans are very cheap and efficiently get you out to Flamenco Beach and back. The beach is gorgeous. We loved our relaxing day there!

We will be there in March and are hoping to visit Flamenco for awhile, then go to Tamarindo Beach to snorkel with the sea turtles there. Has anyone done both beaches during the 8 to 5 stop? I'm wondering if we are planning too much.

Does anyone know where the Legend is between Feb 18 and March 11? There is a big gap in the schedule and assume it is charters but I'm not sure. We embark the Legend on March 11 so I am just curious what's happening before that? Anyone know?

No idea, but I'll see you on the 11th!

@sunprince I was curious, so I called windstar. She's definitely booked for charters during that time frame.

Ok, thanks. I suspected it was chartered but 3 weeks in a row on charter seems unusual. Also looking forward to our cruise on the 11th!

And hopefully it is not partially chartered or large group booking on board for our March 11 cruise!

Agreed!

It is a Charter for my company sailing from San Juan. We have 2 full weeks beginning Feb 25 and have the whole ship. I am sailing the first wave on Feb 25. Can't wait!

Thanks for the update and enjoy your charter. Glad to have this over before we board. Never want to be onboard a Windstar cruise with a large group booking. It's just not the same experience.

Tell us who you work for, please. It's obviously an enlightened company! Have fun.

Some people on our cruise last week did both beaches. The taxi dropped them off at Tamarindo Beach and the driver gave them directions on how to walk over to Flamenco beach (a 20 minute walk). We saw them back on the ship and they said they had visited both beaches easily within the timeframe, taking a taxi back to the ship from Flamenco Beach.

I work for Edward Jones In St. Louis, MO and yes, it is a great company to work for!

So it's like a "sales incentive" cruise? Glad that you guys have the ship to yourselves!
