PORT ROYAL

Contact Rum Bus by face ache message, as they have cabanas, but heard there were also private chalets available for rent as part of Rum Bus/Conch Beach.

There’s another…. S.H.T. S = Ship Crew - Noisy variety H = Herds T = Towels

T'erds is a word constructed by my Bajan friends, being a combination of two words Towels and Herds. The T from Towels and 'erds from Herds to describe some tourists. TOWELS: Arrive by the cheapest means; deliberately take the most annoying spot on the beach to spoil a view of paying clients; spread the ship's Towles; constantly repeat the mantra "beaches are free" like a demented parrot; do not spend anything at the resort; bring food and drink browsed from the ship's buffet, all wrapped in a ship's napkin; bury their picnic debris in the sand; use the sea, beach and all the venue's facilities for free; if there is charge for toilets, decline and use the sea; return to the ship by the cheapest means. Then when back in the Ship boast they spent the day at Carambola (Kim Sha et al) taking lunch and drinks there. HERDS: Arrive loudly en masse; stay loudly; have shouting conversations on their mobiles, or with other herd members, albeit 2 feet or 20 yards way; bring coolers full of Supermarket bought beer and food, then demand ice for free; bring boom boxes and play on highest volume; sometimes pay for beds but insist a colony of friends is created; complain about the price of venue's food as the reason for buying a single slice of pizza. Seek to use Hotel or Beach facilities for free, failing that, turn the sea into a Urinal (aka going for a swim) Abuse or ridicule other guests, and members of the venue's staff, solely for the group's amusement. Basically, it's a group who knowingly do everything possible to spoil the genteel ambience of the venue, and to annoy as many people as it is physically possible. Then leave loudly en masse. Other items of annoyance can be added to each of the above definitions as required.

We joined at the cruise port, along with the majority of pax and there was a stop to pickup a 4 from a hotel.

The Restaurant where one dines will call a local reliable cab, just ask.

Sorry, have never visited, neither have friends, but can recommend Silversands AI Day Pass…

Something different? Then take a Day Bed & Plunge Pool, plus lunch, at Sheer Rocks

@majortom10 is spot on…. Book a Day Use Hotel https://www.dayuse.co.uk/s/london-heathrow-airport-lhr?selectedAddress=London+Heathrow+Airport+(LHR)&sluggableAddress=Heathrow+Central+Railway+Station&placeId=eyJsYXQiOjUxLjQ3MTE1LCJsbmciOi0wLjQ1NjQ5LCJ0IjoxLCJwIjoiY3VzdG9tIn0%3D%2Bf77b3ed7b31b7d025cd7e7f5f71cb94e&checkinDate=2023-09-12 Coupled with booking Airpotr…. Then no luggage check in…. Straight to Security. https://airportr.com/en/

Nothing of note close to the pier. Take a short cab ride to Sheer Rocks, the food, service and views are fantastic. Book in advance. https://sheer-rocks.com

Hi there, me again, sorry, If the requirement for a Hotel to just rest and relax for a couple of days, then think about a place on the outskirts of Rome. Have stayed at these on business. Worth a look? https://www.hotelcastelvecchio.com/hotelcastelvecchio/en/ http://antonellocolonna.it/resort-spa/ Maybe a slightly longer ride from Airport, but a shorter ride to CIVI. For Roma Cabs it’ll be no problem. Good luck….

Note regarding trains. It’ll have to be a cab from hotel to Station. There are no Porters to assist. The access to the train is up a steep flight of short steps (think ladder), then load luggage and chair, then find a vacant seat dragging all the cases and chair, then there is a problem with stowing cases, as the storage areas with line of sight from a seat fill quickly, gangways are narrow, with overheads narrow. Your party may not find seats together. On arrival at Civi Station more angst etc etc. Take a Cab from Hotel to Civi Port, arrive in style and totally relaxed. Questions are there to be answered. Ask away, CC members are happy to help. One’s Rome Hotel will know where the nearest off-licence is for the purchase of GROG supplies. For interest, the barrels of Rum used to be marked GROG, which was given to stand for George Rex Old Grenadian.

Airport to Hotel? Hotel to Port? Ask Rome Cabs for both transport legs. https://www.romecabs.com/contact-us.html They have many years of experience, also probably the best, therefore, they must have vehicles to fully suit one’s specific requirements. A personal favourite. Footnote: Think you’re are going to be the best informed “first time” person in the history of Cunard.😉 Enjoy….

Luggage from London Home or Hotel to Heathrow? Use https://airportr.com/en/ They collect luggage from origin (Home or Hotel), check in all luggage with airline, weigh, fit security seals etc and tracked. Then one just rocks up to Airport Security with hand luggage only. Simples…….. Consider a method of Home to Hotel We used https://send.dhlparcel.co.uk/resources/sending-luggage-abroad - no problems with tracking online Friends have used - with no problems https://www.sendmybag.com/en-au/quote?gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIk5KYyZvrgAMVOZFoCR3ZAQcXEAAYASADEgLvUvD_BwE https://www.mybaggage.com/shipping/luggage-to-europe/

Consider COSOL - https://www.cosol-tours.com (considered the best by many) ISLAND MAN TOURS (getting good feedback recently) - https://www.islandmantaxi.com

To save any angst. Move one’s flight to 12.00 hours, or later. There are protocols and procedures to be followed at the airport, these will mean one may have to queue. Nobody can predict how long these queues will be and amount of time eaten to cause distress. http://sjuairportsanjuan.com/departures

Consider the Chocolate Museum, plenty of hands-on experiences and fun (eating also) things to do. Little one could make a chocolate bar as a gift for their parents.

Away from S.H.T., book one’s genteel day and lunch at Catherine’s Café.

Try a left/right search …….. https://maps.app.goo.gl/fSTB2RFwvkQwHP986?g_st=im

In OSJ then one’s favourite is The Mezzanine who have a “Happy four hours” from 4pm. Take a few cocktails there, then head for Marmalade for Dinner. Must book very early and take the wine pairing Menu. One’s cruise line can confirm the actual berth position.

If only for one night, then consider a Guest House, such as Navona (other GH are available) Simple, clean and in OSJ

Kemplinski used to offer a day pass, not sure now. Give them a call 1 800 426 3135

Add one’s personal preference of Cap Maison to the dossier.
