Hey there-

I used Winsome Tours for their 6.5 hour Signature Tour On August 7.  We left the Dockyard at 10am and returned at 4:30pm.  We did a drive of the entire island and Julie and her granddaughter Taylor shared stories and history of the places we were seeing.  We made multiple stops at sights and had 2 longer stops 45 minutes in Hamilton for shopping and 1.5 hours in St Georges where we ate lunch and did some sightseeing.

Overall, I would highly recommend the tour.   The van was clean and the air conditioning was cold.  Julie and Taylor were entertaining and great storytellers.  

If you have any specific questions, please let me know and I will try my best to answer.

Don't know if this helps you or not, I am scheduled to go out with a different tour operator, Winsome Tours on Monday Aug 7.  I can give you a review when I get back.

I appreciate your concern with my financial situation but it really was a curious question. I am aware of how holds work, I simply fell down a rabbit hole on the internet and just got curious since I could find the specific amount of the hold and a bunch of other info

Thank you all for your help!  Greatly appreciate it 🙂

I have searched for the answer and I cannot find one.....and now I can't stop thinking about it 🙂

When you use a CC for your onboard account are the pre-authorization holds per person or per cabin?  My husband and are in the same stateroom using the same CC for our onboard account, should I expect to see 1 $99.75 hold the card or 2?

Thanks!

HI-

I searched for an answer to this question but apparently my search skills are bad 

I have made MTD reservation is the app for our upcoming August Liberty cruise, when we show up at the reserved time, can I request a table for 2?  Or should I do it on embarkation day?

Thanks!

When will you be sailing?  Are you flying?

Week between Palm Sunday and Easter 2021.  The dates are March 27 or 28 and yes we will be flying.

Thank you all for your thoughts.

The cruise isn't until March 2021 so I have a lot of time to decide.

For my next cruise, I have the option to go on any of the 4 current Oasis class ships?   Which would you pick and why?

This cruise would be a family cruise consisting of 4 generation, ranging in age from 75 to 18months.  All of us except one family has been on multiple cruises.

Thanks!

On Oasis back in 2011 and they showed both Thanksgiving Day games on the big screen in the Aqua Theater.

It was great way to watch the games!

I do have the compasses. Let me look through them and I will let you know.

If you are a martini drinker and if Adrian is still on board go to the R Bar and have him make you a martini. Excellent bartender.

My family was on this cruise in a balcony cabin 8636 and promenade cabin 8629. Stopped at St. Thomas, Curacao, Aruba and St Maarten.

I am not much of a writer but I took a bunch of photos so I am just going to post them. If you have any queztiobs5, I will try to answer them. I also have all the papers that were in the cabin.

We had a great time!

On August 17, we arrived at the pier about 11:30am, dropped our bags with a porter and were on the ship about 15 minutes later.

Much nicer than my last embarkation in Bayonne NJ.

Got off Freedom in San Juan last Saturday, our customs agent looked at the pasport, looked at me said "how are you doing Denise?" and that was it. The agent made my husband take off his baseball cap, and waved him through. No questions.

Another pic .

I was standing on the balcony of 8636 looking forward. The collection of buildings are the shops, I think.

Good post! These two photos show it pretty well. When we were there on Adventure in 2017 they were building the dock. I assume there is a walkway to where you took this picture. We found the merchants that were in the area right near the ship (Adventure) were nice, not pushy and had a decent variety.

In the top pic, you can kind of see the people in the background walking to/from the ship. The blue Curacao sign was near the vendor area. I will see if I have another pic from a different angle.

Looking back from land.

Thanks again for sharing your experiences!
