I've picked up coffee from Belize, St Thomas and San Juan. Look for Blue Mountain.!

Try Jacks Shack, turn left at the pier and go about 1000 feet. Great food and drink prices.

Just a new note, the doors on the Carnival Freedom are not metal. Magnets don't stick :-(

We're considering booking a trip with Greg's Safaris. I'm waiting on more information from them to find out their availability. Does anybody know about how many participants go in each vehicle? Do you know if they meet you at the dock area?

 

Thanks in advance for any info.

I recently took the 4x4 Safari and Beach tour excursion (from Carnival) w/Greg's Safari. It was fantastic. Probably the best excursion I had on my cruise.

Our tour had 3 vehicles with about 8 people per vehicle. You leave/return just outside the side gate at the pier area.

Greg does a fantastic job (try to get in the front vehicle as he typically leads the parade). He does a narration while driving. He knows all the local flowers/plants/fruits and points it all out for you. He stops at all the great sites for pictures.

You get a great trip up the mountian, over the back side (to the atlantic side of the island), and back to the caribbean side to stop by a great beach (Frigate?). You can get a discount on lunch and a drink at the beach bar.

I made the following door sign for my upcoming cruise:
