We did do this independently and had a fabulous time. Much less rushed than ship's tours usually are and much more personal. And cheaper too I think!

We booked through

Can't recommend them highly enough. Have a look at their Facebook page.

Ask if you want to know anything else!

Hi.

We are in Bonaire on Weds 9 November and wanted to kayak the mangrove swamps. The ship tours are wait list only. Is there a local firm that does a trip there? Woodwind look like snorkelling only. Or is it easy to make our own way there - rental car, taxi, bus - and then get on a licenced tour? Thanks in advance

Hey newcruzer2 that's exactly what I mean. We like a nice whisky but sometimes want a dry ginger with it. Does that push us over the $10 limit?

Hi all

We're off on the Caribbean Princess at the beginning of November and just have a couple of questions I can't find the answers to through the forum or Google.

What measures do Princess serve in spirits and wine by the glass? And if I order a $10 whisky but want a mixer in with it, does that take it over the $10 and make it all chargeable or is it treated as 2 separate drinks? We've used the amazing drinks calculator we found on here and think it'll be worth it.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Hi, we are booking a November cruise on the Caribbean Princess - 4 adults, mum, dad and our 2 30 year old sons. We're considering the Family Suite but have read quite a lot of negative posts about this - the balcony is very windy whenever you are not in port, there is no privacy on the balcony, the lounge area is small and the fold out bed takes up all the room. The intention is that one of the sons has the inside twin bedded room but the other either sleeps on a lounger on the balcony (he loves camping so is happy with this, but not so much the wind and people looking at him!) or the fold out settee bed. Is this practical with 4 adults?

The other option would be 2 cabins - 1 mini suite with larger sitting area and 1 inside cabin. Would there be room on the balcony of a mini suite to get a lounger on it? Is there a curtain between the lounge area and the bed area?

Or any other suggestions you may have! We all get on well but like to have our space too. Thanks for reading
