Does she offer island tours? -- Yes Does she speak English? -- Yes What kind of vehicle is it? -- I believe a Toyota Camry

What type of information are you seeking?

If you are planning to head to the beach or need a independent tour guide during your stop in Antigua, consider pre-arranging your taxi with Sharon (1-268-724-2283). Very reasonably priced for our trip to Jolly Beach. Plus she is a music/vocal teacher and blessed us with a couple of songs during our trips to and from the beach. You will be helping out a single mom attempting to make ends meet. We've had lots of taxi drivers, but none impressed us as much as Sharon.

Aplmac --- Short answer, Yes. I don't want to come across as rude, but I agree with reedprincess, " only you know your risk tolerance ". And as worried and concerned as you seem to be, you probably should not cruise or fly or go out in public until this epidemic is over.

Thanks Port Royal --- We appreciate all of your posts here on the cruise critic boards! We will check with Chris. He is exactly what we were looking to hire for our time in Grenada.

Howdy Fellow Cruisers, Due to outside issues our preplanned driver for Grenada has fallen through. Does anyone have any last minute recommendations for a driver? We will be needing a ride down to Calliste to visit a special location for approximately an hour before heading back north to see a couple of sites. Your recommendations are appreciated. Thanks ddaz GBY

Howdy alfaeric, Thanks for the heads-up on the road conditions. Yup, we are heading up towards Adjuntas on 10. As for the warm weather clearing up the snow, with a high of only 23 degrees, I don't think that will happen. Have a safe flight back home!

Howdy alfaeric, Glad things are well at your MIL's place. Thanks for the update on Ponce. How is Hwy 52 from the port to the airport? Our plan is to take a taxi to the airport to pick up a rental car and drive out Hwy 10. Thanks ddaz PS: You missed 4 to 7 inches of very wet and heavy snow, followed by misty rain today. ❄️❄️❄️

Howdy Clochette, How much more was the private tour for four(4) versus their standard tour? Thanks ddaz

Howdy Alfaeric, How is driving in the Ponce area? We are renting a car and driving up into the mountains to visit a coffee plantation. We don't think it will be an issue, but just wondering what you thought? In addition, have you heard anything about the Ponce area and the earthquakes? We visit there in a little more than a month and I am hoping that we don't get re-routed away from Ponce. That was one of the most friendliest ports of call. Thanks ddaz

Howdy, We just hiked out to the Notre Dame du Saguenay statue. It was very difficult with all of the steps and climbing, but well worth it. The trail is easy to follow. The staff at the visitor centre were excellent and very helpful. Most of the signs were in both French and English. I would recommend this hike to anyone fit enough to continuously climb about 1200 steps (with breaks to catch your breath). The views are amazing. Hope this reply helps. ddaz GBY

Thanks for the link and recommendation to check for previous topics. The link was helpful --- We are going to try the hike out to the Statue of Notre Dame du Saguenay from the Visitor Centre.

Howdy, Part of the reason we are looking for cruise critic assistance on Saguenay Fjord National park is this review comment for this park: The park has a Beluga visitors centre. Don’t expect any English here. With the number of English visitors we saw there was no attempt to accommodate them which was disappointing.All French, no English, same on the trails so polish up on your French before you go (or look at the pictures and guess). Looking for any recommendation on where to go and what to see during our time in Saguenay. Thanks ddaz

Howdy, We are renting a car during our stop in Saguenay and planning to drive up to Saguenay Fjords National Park. Rather than head initially to the visitors center to obtain maps and advice on what to see, I was wondering if anyone has been to this park and what are the highlight attractions that we should plan to see? I've see a photo of a walking bridge that doesn't look like it is for the faint of heart, but still looking for details on it. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks ddaz GBY

Howdy jmaedcruise, A couple of years ago, we used Budget on Water St. It was just a couple minute walk from the ship and super easy to find after getting off the ship. That would be my recommendation. Good Luck! ddaz GBY
