    The table is Likely outdated. I’m on the 11/17 Meraviglia sailing and we’re supposed To be at Ocean Cay on 11/20.

    We are also on Meraviglia Nov. 17th, and as per reservations VP we will dock at Ocean Cay.

  2. We just returned from our cruise and want to share some information for a great and cheap day trip from Limon.

    You need to have a sense of adventure, but the payoff is fantastic.

     

    My husband and I walked off the Island Princess at 7:30 and quickly went through the vendor building to exit the port. Turn left and walk about 8 minutes along this main street to the MEPE bus terminal. This is the local bus company. Go up to the ticket window and purchase a ticket from Limon to Cahuita using US $$$. Give them $6 and you will get two one way tickets and change given back in colones.

    We got on the 8:00 bus on a Sunday morning. The bus is not air conditioned but the windows open and you will be fine. It is safe and you will spend time with the locals. The bus stops along the way to drop off and pick up other passengers. You take the road that follows the coast line. it also passes the Sloth Sanctuary.

    At 9:00 we pulled into the small Cahuita bus station. Exit the station and walk to the right along the road about 5 minutes into the tiny town. Very safe. You are heading to Kelly Creek entrance for the National Park. There is no entrance fee, but they do accept donations. You can get a guide here. There is also bathrooms and ooutdoor cold showers. You find the beginning of the level walking trail here. Passing swim beach and campsites, picnic tables. It was a Sunday so there were families out enjoying the day together.

     

    The path is very easy to follow and you can find wildlife all over. Just walk slowly and listen. We did not have a guide. Groups of monkeys in the trees. Leaf cutter ants, a snake sleeping on a branch. A park ranger pointed out a sloth sleeping in the tree. Shore birds. No problem with mosquitos or other biting insects.

     

    We stopped and swam in the calm warm ocean. Fantastic.

    You come to a place where you must cross a small river, the water is knee deep.

    Continue along the path to the Point. We met another park ranger here more picnic tables. Great photo opps with the ocean and palm trees. Walk past the point another 10 minutes and then turn around and walk back.

    Monkeys came down to see us. Wonderful photos.

    Took a cool fresh water shower before we walked back to the bus station.

    The 1:30 bus left at 1:40 and was crowded. Returned to Limon at 3:00.

     

    We spent a total of $11 for the two of us. Very safe, amazing wildlife. Great plants and trees. No bugs. fantastic day.

     

    wlbox, We will be at Puerto Limon Dec. 2016 on NCL Pearl. I would very much like to do Cahuita National Park like you guys did. Only difference is our ship gets there at 0900 hrs. instead of 0730 hr. In your opinion is it still a good idea, with much later arrival. Don't want to miss the boat. Your input.

  3. Casofilia - you will be pleased to know, at the moment, answer is yest - those small chocolate croissant (and regular ones) are still available as part of free Continental Breakfast Room Service, with a service charge or mandatory gratuity ... at least on the Breakaway. Here's the "Order Form" - fill it out & place it outside the stateroom by 4 AM for morning delivery, from 6:30 to 10 AM (and, you get a "wake-up" call that it's on the way, usually in 5 to 10 minutes.)

    You can also find them still in the Garden Cafe (buffet).

     

    Hello friend,

     

    Is continental breakfast completely "FREE" or involves service charge / mandatory gratuities?
