Hi Jennmaybe -- Thanks for sharing the pics. So, did you actually see the Oasis of the Seas from your room at the Hilton Marina !! Exciting !! Didn't realize it was that close to the ships.

We sure did! That was the view we woke up to! I got up early just so I could catch a glimpse of her coming in that morning. Of course, I zoomed in on the pic, but you can see her plain as day from the balcony.

We loved it!! Will definitely stay there again! Here are a couple of pics. The 1st one is the view from our room---port side.

Has anyone ever asked the photographer to take a picture using their own personal camera? Just curious if it's like Disneyword where the professionals will take a picture for you or is this is not allowed on the ship. Cruising on Carnival Liberty. Thanks!

Just to answer your question---just don't buy them.:)

We did not purchase a single photo on the Oasis last month. We had others take pics of us and that's what I will frame.

They will not stop an American citizen from getting back into the Country without a passport. They may have a more difficult time getting back in, but please don't make people feel they will NEVER get back in the USA because they don't have a passport!

I don't think the poster was trying to make anyone feel this way. I do see his point though. It would be more diffiicult and can be very time-consuming.

I would, personally, never leave the country without my passport. We feel much more secure by having it.

Just make sure you have the originals with the seal imprinted on them.

LOL, I'm not going until 2012 BOO HOO!

But knowing about 90 days out helps me.

Does it matter if you are Gold, Platinum or Diamond? Or does it open up for everyone at the same time.

Thanks!

Oops...sorry-I didn't see the 2012...I just saw July.

We're going in Oct 2011 and it feels like an eternity away, so I can only imagine how you feel right now....at least it gives you plenty of time to plan!

We are also booked for the Oasis next year, but from what I've been reading, we can't begin booking for those until around 90 days out....

Anyone out there been able to book sooner than that?

The tours listed above do not include the Railway. The tour that includes the Railway and Brimstone Hill is $110 per person; I think without Brimstone it is $90. The St. Kitts Tour Store sent me an e-mail including a form to complete and fax back including payment information as well as hotel or cruise ship information. Interesting that some people are being told that they have to book through the cruise line.

I emailed the tour store last week and I was also told that I needed to book it through the cruise line.

Thank you so much for all of that info! That really helps us decide what we want to do. There is just so many excursions and beaches to choose from, that it's been really hard deciding!

You are doing an awesome job and I know many others out there appreciate it as much as I do!!

:)

This is just fabulous!! We're on this one in October and it's killing me to look at all these pics....:D

Did you guys take any excursions or did you mostly do the beaches? Can you give us just a quick run-down on all the beaches you did at each port and if you would recommend others going there?

Thanks so much for your very-detailed reviews! We have not been to any of these ports before, so I am really reading everything very carefully!!
