  1.  

    Thanks, I tried Google and read most of those threads but I wasn't able to find any actual pictures or comments from anyone that had sailed in the cabin. I did find pictures from the Golden but I'm not sure if they are the same.

  2. We just booked the Caribbean Princess F315 for December 2016, I know it's a long way off, but I'm still excited. I was wondering if anyone had pictures of this cabin or have stayed in this cabin? My husband uses a wheelchair, and this is an accessible cabin so I was really curious about how the bathroom is different. I know it has only a shower, but wondering about the sink counter space, is it a double sink? Any info, will be greatly appreciated:)

  3. We also visited San Juan del Sur Nicaragua. We chose to do the excursion to Rivas. This was pretty much a waste. We got what was advertised, but there is not much to do or see in Rivas. We chose this excursion because the distance was about 45 minutes driving from the ship. We were planning on a tour the next day to Antigua Guatemala that was 1.5 hours from the ship, so we chose based on distance. On the drive to Rivas the guide pointed out his brothers house, his cousins house and his fathers house - all very sad. There is one church in Rivas. The tour guide did not go in with us. He then took us for a short walk of about 20 minutes. We did not stop or go into any buildings. We then drove to a hotel that was on the shore of Lake Nicaragua where we were givin a bowl of fresh cut fruit and coke. We could see the 2 volcanoes rising out of the lake. We spent about a half hour here, there was plenty of seating. Since the volcanoes were in the distance it may have made a nice photo oportunity but I am not sure if there will be enough clarity between the Volcanoes and the water and sky and clouds. All in all a very hot trip.

     

    San Juan del Sur was nicer looking than Rivas. As the OP described there were many nicer buildings in San Juan del Sur then Rivas and we would have been happier walking around here. There is also a beach within walking distance from the ship. On the day we were docked there were many locals at the beach because it was a workers holiday (May 1). I do not know if any ship passengers went to the beach or the safely of the water. Looked more like a Pacific beach with dirt rather than a Caribean beach with sand and blue water. Maybe someone else can comment.

     

    If I had to do it again I would either take the Antigua excursion without lunch or just walk around San Jan del Sur. Maybe I would take a taxi tour to see the volcanoes. I did not stop to see if there were any taxi drivers who spoke English.

     

    What did you think of Antigua? Was the tour worth the drive? We are also have difficulty deciding what to do in San Juan del Sur, we are thinking of just walking around the town and visiting some of the resorts as the OP did.
