  1. My Husband and I  will be in Curacao for one day on a cruise. We love to snorkel and a beautiful beach.  We are looking for a beach to rent beach chairs/umbrella a place for food and a drink.  We will probably take a taxi.  Some of the places we were looking at are Playa Porto Mari, Playa Lagun and maybe the resort Chogogo with a day pass.

    We would welcome any suggestions on what you recommend!  thank  you!

  2. We stayed at The Hyatt on the Hudson in Jersey  City.  Great choice!  We loved the view of New York.  We took the path right near the hotel to the 9-11 memorial and museum.  It was a great experience to see it.  We walked along the shoreline in Jersey City before we boarded the cruise ship.  There is a Starbucks 1/2 block away from the hotel.  I am so glad we didn’t stay by the Newark airport where we flew into.  

    It was about a 15-20 minute drive to Bayonne cruise  port from the Hotel.

  3. We were on Anthem of the seas.  We overnighted one night.  We had reserved a anaig quick through Oleander rentals.  We took the first ferry into Hamilton.  We wanted to start in the middle of the island and drive to different areas.    Our intention was to drive to some of the beaches to snorkel.  First mistake was the car is soooo small!!!  My husband is 6’ and I am 5’ 6”.  We are not overweight either.    I was squished in the back with our snorkel gear and beach bag!  So not comfortable and so hot!  My husband was squished while driving too!  We had a map that had the roads to go on.  Well, there are no road signs in Bermuda!!  We got lost three times!  We waisted three hours trying to figure out where to go!  Thank goodness this nice man on his scooter escorted us to Warwick bay and Horsehoe bay.   We ended up at Horseshoe Bay with just about everyone on the ship!!  We took our chairs that we rented for $50! to the other end of the beach!   Such a rip off to pay $50 buck!!  The beach was beautiful and the water was so clear and warm!  Bermuda has beautiful homes along the waters edge.  It is not so beautiful driving in the towns.  It would have been nice to have had two overnights to see the whole island.   We were surprised how large an island it was.  

    The next day we did a snorkel trip with Hat Tricks.  It was amazing!  Only 8 people on the Catamaran.  The spot Captain Keith took us to was beautiful!  Truly an excursion we will remember!

    Next time we will stay at a hotel and enjoy everything on the island in a relaxed mode!

  4. I have been to all the islands but St. kitts.

    My husband and I did the Soualiga destination boat tours.  The best snorkel tour I have been on ever!  It is a small boat with about 8-10 people.  He takes you to three different spots.  One to see turtles, the other a very small island, the other a reef with lots of fish.  Then he takes you to the famous airport to see the planes almost land in the water.  Then they provide lunch!  It is so well worth it!  Look it up on trip advisor.  It has the highest ratings.

    The beaches in Barbados and st. Lucia are beautiful!  St. thomas we did a snorkel tour but not so great.

    Another place if you ever go is Roratonga in Tahiti!  Gorgeous with lots of coral and fish!

    Good Luck and happy Snorkeling🐠
