Wow..what a review! Awesome job! I will be on the Nieuw Amsterdam for the 3rd time, in 2 weeks. Like yourself..we really love Half Moon Cay... So glad we will be going there twice on our 11 day cruise. Thank you for your time and expertise of that review!

RV Tours provided a fantastic tour for us. Their prices are listed on their web page. Highly recommend.

I went to RV Tours web page and did not see any prices....you have to email with the number of people to find out the price. Am I missing something?

We just returned from St. Marteen and used JoJunie. Google and find them. We paid $35 pp and had a private van. The only drawback for me for this tour was going back to Maho Beach after 6 years......last time we were there.....nobody was on the beach....now.....there are literally thousands of people there. So...if you don't like crowds......just a fair warning. Other than that we loved JoJunietours. Would highly recommend.

Love your video! Thanks for sharing! Will be there next week on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Love Half Moon Cay!

I would love to get a couples massage outdoors in Puerto Rico Or St. Marteen. We are cruising the Eastern Caribbean Sep19th. -Any suggestions? Rates? I think we'll pass on the on board spa experience and was hoping for a romantic massage at port. Thanks in advance! :) -Shelley

Shelley, I am curious...were you successful in finding a couples massage in either port? Going in a month and we are looking for the same thing. Thank you in advance.

Hi, Interesting enough, I'm planning the exact thing in a month! We have been there countless times and this time we are taking our 26yr old Son with us. We want to spend 3-4 hours and Lunch at Orient, then to Maho for a bit, maybe an hour then back to Phillipsburg. I found a Tour outfit that will meet us at the Pier and do just what you and I are planning for $35pp. Email me at messengerc21@yahoo.com and I will provide the name and email! I understand we are not supposed to include that info on these Posts. Regards, Mark

Thanks Mark, I just emailed you!

Howdy Neighbor! :D;)

 

What show is that from? ;)

I'll just peek over the fence....LOL

Ah, are they any other private islands that aren't man made in the sense you imply? Plus, most of the stuff there was put there by Holland America before HAL merged into the Carnival family.

Sooo much better before Carnival, right Bruce!

BTW...I'm from Petaluma as well! :)

We love the Riverside Hotel! We have had the newly renovated rooms as well as the old rooms. Both are nice, but we prefer the new ones. The hotel is about a $15-20 cab ride from the airport, and even closer to the cruise port. Las Olas Blvd. has a lot to see and experience! I would highly rec. it. :)

The people that get up at the crack of dawn, everyday, and go up to the pool deck, and put out their towels, use their little clippies, and always have the same spot....everyday. Ohhh that's right...the chair hogs! Doesn't matter if it's a cruise, or not....they are breeding, and are.everywhere...LOL

Also, having to disembark....

Now that that cat's out of the bag everybody will be asking for them!! :D

Did I say that, "I needed one to relax and enjoy my cigar with?" ;)

I asked for, and received, a lounger for my "regular balcony" on the Dec. 7 sailing! Loved every minute of it!

Hmmmmm, no complaining about the "Smoking" Club 21 deal....sorry had to.

Thank you Cruz Chic! Very much appreciated! Looks like we'll have to bring the antique! Along with the pleather document holder....hahaha!

I thoroughly enjoyed your first review, and will be following along on this one until we board next week. Question I have, and I have searched the threads.... "Do they still have the Complimentary Holland Beach Bags, that they put on your bed on the first port day?"

:cool:

This happened to us on our Virgin America flight from SFO to FLL next month. We booked it in March. Virgin emailed us in July and stated that they have cancelled the flight. But.....I have to say, they were very accommodating in changing our flight to what would work for us. Plus...they gave us a credit to use for our extra luggage. Yes, it was a little unnerving at the time....but....Virgin came through and that's why we fly them! :cool:

Thank you! Looking forward to using this in Dec. :D

Thank you!!!! Brings back memories.....remember seeing the Tropicale...the new ship in port when we got back to Miami!! You never forget the first! :)

Carnival Mardi Gras out of Miami in 1982. I remember that inside cabin was TINY!!!

Totally agree Jen!!! Still horrible construction on the Narrows in Novato. Best bet is to get off at Hwy 37 and hit hwy. 12 to the Sonoma, Kenwood area....Great wineries, and beautiful scenery. :cool:

Thank you Bently57 for your review. My wife and I are looking at the Silhouette as well. We have sailed Princess many times and are going to try Celebrity for the first time.

I like the more subdued for sure. Pool games....no thanks...LOL I'm leaning on Celebrity. Thank you!

Which would you choose. 7 days E. Car. on Celebrity or 8 days R. C. Independence of the Seas. Have not cruised either cruise line. We like to dine at our own leisure. It's been awhile since I've been on the boards! Thank you all in advance. :cool:

Visiting the Embera Indian tribe with Anne was the highlight of my Coral Princess cruise last March. I highly, highly rec. her. You don't have the crowds with the ship sponsered tour. Very initimate. There was only 11 of us. I can't say enough about it. Here is a link to her and her website.
