Got it!! Thank you. Nice diary btw. 👍

You can try this, I've been doing it for years. Dinner at Iguana Joe's right across the street from the port. Can't miss it, take your family upstairs and eat overlooking everything, best ticket in town. A crew and passenger favorite. The building is pink, great deck and views plus it's 2 minutes to the ship. Iguana Joe's look it up you'll figure it out. Great food, good service excellent vibe. Best drinks on the island.

I'm very easy to accommodate, one of those loungers overlooking those rocks with sea in the background, the little dock out to the water access thingy, and a bucket of pretty much anything IN MEXICO, I'm in. That place looks great and maybe a bit more me than Nachi. Probably a lot more me than Nachi🙂. In my case just to eliminate any misunderstanding I try and do the AI day package. I've had lots of luck with this approach😂, pretty much what the AI package means to me, it means all day is pretty much Happy Hour, it's a problem🙄 but just to me, I keep the fallout close to home. Btw the Sky Reef Bar that's da bomb. Water in the background ME ME ME and ME.😁 You will be there before I will, I'm looking forward to your new review. A chapel, how awesome I love chapels I do 1 almost every Sunday. 👍👍🙏🙏 Appreciate you. Chapel, that's genuis.

No I haven't seen it but I will. Thank you. In all due respect I hadn't even heard of The Sky Reef, that place is AWESOME. Appreciate the information and recommendation, you made the decision for me in choosing what to do and where to spend my day on Cozumel. We call that BIG. That layout is SWEET looking forward to checking out her photo review. The photos I have seen, the Sky Reef it's all me. Happy Hour?? Happy Hour has been my middle name for the last 40 years!! Thanks again for your assistance. Great choice👍

Yes!! Thank you for the recommendation. This is exactly what I had in mind. Excellent choice. Appreciate your help.👍

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm going to try this. Last two times on Cozumel I did Nachi planning a cruise now for next year, there's a good probability I'll be heading back to Cozumel. Nachi is a great deal really enjoy my day there, I was just going to try something different and The Money Bar fits the bill. Had planned on going to The Money Bar last time on the island but got bushwacked by my fellow CC'rs who wanted to go back to Nachi, went back to Nachi we had a time😉. Can never go wrong with Nachi I'm going to try something different this time. Does The Money Bar have an AI option like Nachi? Easy enough water access? I saw they don't have a beach but there is access to the ocean. Looks nice, I'm looking forward to the visit. Thank you for your help. BTW I read The Money Bar's menu food options look great.

Your welcome. You have quite a bit of time. This is just an idea, after your tour with Cosol with the time you've been given, the beer garden right at the port beside your ship is a great place to chill and relax before getting back on the ship. Really nice open atmosphere it's in the secure port area, lots of fun. 😉

Took Cosol's Best of St. Lucia by Land and Sea Tour twice. At the time the cost was $80(US)+tip. Great tour, nice bus's, best tour guides. This is a full day tour. Always something to drink, nothing but fun and a great day. Highly recommend this tour. Tell them you want Baptiste as your driver, he's the best on the island. Have fun.👍👍

Thank you!!🙂

Yes you want a beach excursion, yes sargassum is a problem. By the time you get to the beach at the Marriott it will already be cleaned up and it won't be an issue. Best beach on the island will be at the St. Kitts Marriott, don't worry about anything except having fun. Later

The Santa Barbara is now Sandals Curacao. They sell day passes to cruise ship visitors just like the Sandals on St. Lucia do. If anyone has anything new to add when it comes to spending my day at this resort again, any help would be appreciated. 🙂

This sounds wonderful, PORT ROYAL if you weren't a salesman you should have been one. 👍👍

Hey thanks for the info. this excursion has become so popular Goffs Caye is a cash machine. It's hard telling what renovations and improvements they're making, I'm sure they figured it out looking forward to going back and seeing all the new upgrades. Clearest water anywhere near Central America the place is one of a kind. 👍

Thank you very much for the info and update on Coki. Appreciate it. 👍

Coki must have come a long way, it's been a very long time since I was by there but when I was it's definitely not one of the nicer beaches especially on STT. I certainly hope this is the case, I would love to go back to Coki and spend the day. Anyone know the status of any beach bars on Coki? Thanks.

Take the city bus to Eagle Beach spend your whole day on the beach. Beautiful Beach water is awesome. Great beach bar. Head back to the ship around 4pm-ish get a shower and change of clothes, head back out and have dinner and cocktails at Iguana Joe's. I did this for years lotsa fun and makes for a great long day. 👍👍

🙂

I didn't hear anything specific but if they're closing for a few months it would probably be to make some improvements or upgrades. The Goffs Cay excursion has become incredibly popular. I'm not sure when I return to Belize I would do anything else. We had a blast there a couple of times. 😉 Some of the nicest water in Central America bar none. 👍👍

I don't know anything about snorkeling on Aruba. If you choose to do a beach day you want to take your family of 6 to Eagle Beach and spend your day. When you get off the ship walk outside the security area and directly across the street to the bus station, tell them you want to go to Eagle Beach cheap tickets I think $3 very easy very quick bus stops RIGHT ON Eagle Beach. Walk down the sidewalk they'll rent you palapas and chairs. Everything is there nicest beach on the island water is AWESOME, Amsterdam Manor Beach Bar one of the top 5 easily best beach bars in the southern Caribbean. Have fun. 😉🙂

That beach looks like the palapa rentals on Eagle Beach. Right next to the Amsterdam Manor Resort. I could be wrong. It certainly does look like it though. The best Resort day pass on Aruba is at the Barcelo did it like 5 years ago with a group from the ship. Couldn't believe how much fun we had.

BTW our CC group in December 2011 we had 5 vans with Cosol, 4 full of people 1 van was a rolling bar, nothing but everything to drink unlimited bar. It was Killer!! When I finished drinking a Caribe Baptiste handed me 2 more. Drove to the falls and mud bath thingy up in the rainforest. Tons of people in the middle of a rainforest sun's out pouring the rain?🤔😂. Ice cold beers all day long👍👍 Stayed wet the entire tour it was GREAT. There's no way whatsoever to stay dry in a rainforest. 🙂.

How far is it from Bathsheba? Thanks!!

Highly recommend Barbados Scenic Tours. Our CC group did this quite some time back. It was a highlight of our vacation. Carlisle is a great beach beautiful water. If your the only ship in Port, Carlisle is a great day, two or more ships in Port The Boatyard and Lobster it's sardine can city. Just too many people for me. First trip take the tour the beach it's not going anywhere. 😉 Go see Bathsheba it's worth it.
