New to this forum, but I keep seeing people reference T'erds.  What the heck is that?  Thanks in advance!

Aren't you going to ask him what S.H.T. is??!!! PORT ROYAL will tell you the truth again. I love that so much!!

Thanks PORT ROYAL!!

LMAO!!! 😂🥰😂🥰😂🥰😂🥰😂😂😂😂. 

The best part every word or what PORT ROYAL said was the TRUTH!!!

Keep reading threads in this St. Kitts forum and you'll find PORT ROYAL'S definition of T'erds!! 

On St. Kitts T'erds are normally associated with Carambola Beach Club.

PORT ROYAL🤩🤩😂😂😂😂🤩🤩

I love this!! You've done it again!!

OMG this is HILARIOUS!!

They needed too move it closer to the cruise port. The other sign was too far to walk for most, I found it by accident.

😎

I know exactly where it is. Walk out of port security, go right and keep walking, walk over the bridge about a mile or so. Easy nice walk.

The sign will be on your LEFT. Can't miss it. Very easy to find, I wasn't looking for it and found it.

The best tour on Antiqua…

Nice!! That sounds AWESOME!!

When I to go back to Magens Bay, the "restaurant and bar" are no longer an issue for me and I'm a big beach bar person. Exactly, a bag of ice, 3-6 packs of Stella, backpack cooler, keep walking down the beach and keep walking. Yep, keep walking and don't look back.😎

Thank you.

Yes, he is still in business, but I haven't used him.

Ms411 who have you used and who would you recommend for an island tour? I've always been with our CC group or been my own tour guide on St. Thomas. I was thinking about on my next visit to do an island tour in the morning, get dropped off at Magens in the afternoon and spend the rest of my day on the beach. 

I would even do a whole day tour if it was all-inclusive. 

Any suggestions on a nice guided tour of St. Thomas? Thanks Todd

Who cares it's a start from nothing. 

Like I said we never saw any food or drinks much less a menu. I've never been back to the bar at Magens Bay since and I've been to Magens Bay a half a dozen or more times since.

Only issue I have with Magens Bay, I need a bigger cooler and I found one.😎

our experience is from 2022, but even then 2 chaises and an umbrella was $40. See info at link. Dropped off at Coco Loco bar - will not go there again.

Sounds too me like they liked everybody else but you, and charged you extra😁!!

Coco Loco bar wawazzatt??🥴

You went left on us, straighten it back up Itchy. 

No really 😂😂 is a palapa and 2 loungers on Eagle Beach $50 now??

Jeezus!! 

Anything is better than what it was for decades. Between no menu and absolutely no service. 2 beach losers behind the bar drinking doing nothing, anything is better than what it was. 

Last several visits I never go to the bar anymore I don't trust them. I bring my own beer when I go to Magens Bay, I just didn't bring enough I got that covered from now on. 

That menu I've never seen before. The first and last time I went to the "restaurant or bar" at Magens we knew they served food or were supposed too but we didn't see any. We thought they served beer too, nope the 2 losers behind the bar washed glasses and walked to and from the kitchen doing absolutely nothing. Every seat at the bar was taken by a mother and their baby stroller.🤮 Worst beach bar experience ever. 

The menu looked great, because when we were there we never saw any food or drinks. 

If it'll make you feel any better I'm planning another cruise, St. Thomas is on the itinerary. I still don't trust them at Magens Bay. Our experience was so pitiful I'll bring my own food and drink until I know there's a new concessionaire. 

Thanks for the update.😘

I'm not downloading the file again.

Duh...

are you ok?

I'm fine I was just playing around sheesh lighten up.🥰

Did I just read where the price went up to $50 a day for palapa and 2 loungers? It was just a matter of time until they figured it out when it came to Eagle Beach.

where exactly at Eagle beach did you find this price? We were there in 2022, and 1 umbrella with 2 chaises was $40.

My palapa and 1 lounger I'm solo was either $25-$30. It used to be less than that, I've been going to this beach now for 20 years. The palapas for years were $10+$5 for lounger.

The days of sitting on any beach in the Caribbean for little of nothing is over and it should be. 

Me personally I wish they would charge more so Itchy&Scratchy would go down to Baby Beach and hang out with all the babies.😂

I would wrap my dinner tab up around 9:30pm-ish. Getting a taxi back to the port is never a problem. When you get back you may have a few extra minutes to walk around town before you get back on the ship.

Wowowowow!! Wow! Thank you SO very much for the thorough information! Much appreciated! I will defintely report back after our trip in March and let you know how the day went... And how/where do I review? Here on cruise critic?

Again, thanks so much!!! 

No worries, a little planning can go a long way on your cruise vacation. 

Yes right here on Cruise Critic, when  you come back post a review here in this Aruba forum and let us know how your day went.😎

In the event there's something else you need help with there's always someone here on CC to help. 

Have a great vacation. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

For those of you with families spending the day on Eagle Beach I thought I would mention this. As your walking down the ramp to the beach if you look to your left you'll see 2 outdoor men's and women's bathrooms very centrally located.

I say that because I've been to many beaches and the restroom is down at the end of the beach around the corner to the left at the rear of some building.🥺

Nope it's not like that, Eagle Beach bathrooms are right there, that comes in very handy when you drink on a beach like I do.😁😎😁😎

Or if you have children. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love Pink Iguanas at Iguana Joe's!!!

I was just trying to keep them close to the port. 

Palm Beach is the place to be in the evenings it's just kind of a drive up there and back, but it's never a problem getting a taxi. 

No problem.

You are such a great source of info.  Our family party of 5 has become a party of 7 so I think we will do the mini van route as well.  I assume we should plan to bring our car seat.

 

I'm glad to be of help. If you have a small group like that 7.  I would definitely hire a taxi van they'll take you right to Eagle Beach and pick you right up at a specified time your group wants to head back to your ship. JUST YOUR GROUP. Nice!! 

No worries have fun. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I'm going to check on the car seat for you, but just to be safe bringing one would be something I would keep in mind. 

Do not forget there are a million taxi drivers vying for your business. No worries. They'll be right there for you. Plus Eagle Beach is NOT far from your ship. 

That's definitely current!!! WE DID IT!!!

WOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO!!

That's all they needed to do. NICE menu too. Don't get me wrong I still don't trust them when it comes to beer so the first few times back to Magens ummm I'll be bringing my own beer.😁😁😁

Food menu looks great. Prices I felt looked very reasonable as well. 

Thanks Ms411!!!! Damn, We Done It!!

This is HUGE!! I'm happy for everybody!! 

Thanks again!!

Can you pay in US dollars for the bus?

Yes ma'am you can pay with US currency. I Love the bus. Nice peaceful cheap and very efficient. No worries. Have fun. 👌🌟🌟🌟🌟👌

I can help you out with that. 

When your group of 9(how nice!!) gets off your ship, your going to bottleneck out of port security to your left then go to the right into town. 

Your not solo like myself. If I were you I would find a minivan taxi never a problem and pay them to take you and pick you up at an agreed upon time to and from Eagle Beach. They'll be a ZILLION taxi drivers as you walk outside of security.

With a group that size your own taxi van with just your family is the way to go. You can work out a very reasonable fee and time to be picked up. 

I'm solo for me it's very easy to take city transportation but in your case you can all go together in the same van for a very reasonable price. 

Nice palapas for rent at Eagle Beach. 

It's nice. Your group if you get there early you can rent a couple of them right beside each other. With 2 loungers, I'm not sure what they cost a palapa and 2 chairs is around $25 a day. Great deal great beach. 

Passions at the Beach as you go down the ramp to the beach will be on your right, I recommend you getting palapas close to Passions. Get your palapas BETWEEN Passions and the Beach not on the side, go up front get you a couple of palapas where you can see everything plus if you get thirsty or hungry Passions is right there. GREAT food I found their menu for a beach bar, incredible. Best seat on the beach.

I don't know if you can rent palapas ahead of time. I've never done that I just get to the beach EARLY find me the nicest palapa, drop my backpack pay the man, and get the party started.  

I guess you could email Amsterdam Manor and check OR get your group together early and get to Eagle Beach.

Unless there's a large number of ships in port there really shouldn't be too much of a problem renting a couple of palapas. Have a nice vacation and when you get back please don't forget to give us a review. Take care
