Going on this cruise in 2 weeks. Thanks for the posts... They must want to sell off the Crown, it seems to be the only liquor they advertise. 2-$37. Great price though. :whiskey-glass::cool:

Unfortunately there is no Starbucks available in Barbados at this time:loudcry:

Thanks, I don't drink coffee so I won't have to look now. ;)

Suggest the bar takes it to a outlet, have it unlocked and contact the owner.

They have a picture on their page posted of who they believe the owners are. Sure hope they get it back.

The Shipwreck bar found a cell phone in the water yesterday. It is in a waterproof case that appears to be working. It is a picture of a man and woman posted May 20. Hope someone knows who lost it.

$500 cards are sold out, $100 cards are available. I was able to order some on Saturday evening. They were delivered today!

Does anyone know if there is a Starbucks in Barbados? I have a friend that collects mugs with cities/countries on them. Would love to pick one up for her :D

Great advise from everyone. Looks like we will buy. I was afraid of how everything is cleaned and the fit as well. We are going on 2 excursions. After we get the hang of it, I am sure we will try it at every beach we go to! Thanks as usual to Cruise Critic friends!

I have been on many cruises but have not gone snorkeling. I am taking my granddaughter for her high school graduation gift. She wants to go snorkeling. Do you rent or take your own? I could rent a mask, but can't imagine renting a snorkel.. :confused:

Don't remember the cost but they're the thick rubber mats.

Thanks for the quick response. That is exactly what I hoped they had!

I haven't been to Megan's Bay in a few years. Can you still rent floats for the day? If so, do you remember the cost or type they had? Trying to see if I need to buy them before we go. Thanks! :cool:

Some Boatyard tips since this thread is here: Get a taxi/van specifically going to the Boatyard, they have their own entrance.

 

Get there early if you want an umbrella for your chair, even earlier if you want a good location closer to the water.

 

Don't get there too late - the day we were there they announced around noon that they were full and not letting anyone else in.

 

When you arrive make a reservation for the turtle boat if you want to swim with the turtles (free). They will call out your name when it is your turn to go.

 

The little stub hanging off your wrist tag is your ticket for a free drink.

Thanks for the tips, can't wait to go in June! :cool:

When you ordered gift cards how quickly did the get shipped to your house? I just confirmed the gift cards I ordered Tuesday.

I ordered mine and had them 4 days later. :)

I am looking at these 2 hotels as well for one night post cruise. Who does everyone use to book through, the hotel directly or a site like Priceline?

If you are flying out of San Juan, you can purchase alcohol in the duty free shops in the airport. You can carry bottles on board and don't have to worry about packing, you can't drink them though since they seal the packaging. Does know prices or what they have in the we can bring home from SJU that don't have to worry about breaking in the luggage? :whiskey-glass::tropical-drink::cocktail:

The only benefit I can think of is if you accumulate points from your local grocery by purchasing the cards, otherwise, what is the benefit?

On the other hand, if you use AARP, Verizon or Allstate points to save 10%, then that is hard cold cash savings.

I purchased a $500 Carnival gift card from Meijer. I received $50 in store credit by doing this. I paid using my Southwest credit card. I paid the $500 I had purchased the gift card with when I got home. I double dipped by getting money to spend at Meijer and point towards my Southwest Rapid Rewards.. winner winner :cool:

As of 1:00 pm CDT the $100 cards were available.

Thanks, I finally snagged some! :cool:

Thanks, I have flown from San Juan previously. However, it was several years ago. I remembered I bought rum at the airport and they put it in a sealed bag with a shoulder strap. I still have it as it was a great bag that you could carry 2 bottles in and they wouldn't break. Good to know the prices are the same so I can pick some up at the airport and I won't have to pack. It won't be to drink on the plane, it is to give as gifts on when I get home. :cool:

I will be flying to San Juan for a cruise this summer. I want to pick up liquor at the airport to bring home that I don't have to pack in my luggage. Does anyone know what the currently sell or prices? TIA

I looked at excursions right after I booked. I have never seen the offer. :-(

Everyone stays in San Juan pre-cruise. Does anyone stay post-cruise? Airfare is very high the afternoon of the cruise for us and drops in price the next morning. We are considering staying the night and flying out the morning after the cruise. The price difference pays for the hotel, and we get a night in San Juan before we head home. We wouldn't worry about what to do between the time we get off the ship and fly out. Would the same recommendations apply as where to stay if we want to wonder around Old San Juan when we get back?

I know this is an old thread, does anyone know currently how early the liquor store opens for flights out? We are spending the night in San Juan and are looking at an early morning flight out. Would love to grab a few bottles at the duty free shops to take home that we don't have to pack. :cool:

My 18 year granddaughter is a senior in high school and is on spring break that week. I am taking her for her graduation present. :)

5, 6, 7, and 10 I think.

Thanks for quick response!

Thanks :) I also shot this video explaining hidden decks on the Glory...

Do you remember what floors off hand the hidden decks are on the Glory? I am thinking of booking this cruise to take my granddaughter on for her graduation. It could be helpful in booking. :)

thanks in advance!
