lv2cruz80 Posted March 2, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2005 We just got off the Constellation last Saturday and visited Casa de Campo. I had read on a lot of boards how lousy this port is but I was determined to make the most of it. We took the ship's excursion to Catalina Island and had a wonderful day. It was a pretty beach (not gorgeous like some other islands but still nice). There were chairs, drinks, and we had several hours there. In the evening we were invited through Captain's Club to go to a Las Vegas style Carbbean show called Kandela and we enjoyed it. I think you can go there also on a ship excursion at night. In Genada, we went into town for shopping, knowing that there would not be much to buy except spices and that's what we did. We then went to Grand Anse beach for the afternoon and had another wonderful beach day. We sat under a palm tree for the afternoon and the water was like a bathtub. A taxi driver approached us (one of many) and offered to take us on a tour and we took him up on it. so we left the beach a little early and he drove us all over the island and we saw some very pretty views. In all, I wouldn't rush back to either port but we had a good time while we were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On RCCL they have one playing in the Viking lounge. So was wondering if X does the same. Does the Pool band have a Steel Drum player?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2cruz80 Posted March 3, 2005 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2005 The guitar player ws Les Dranicki. We never saw him but our friends did often and really enjoyed him. He played both in the Seaside Cafe Bar and the Cova Cafe. The band Onyx was the steel band and they are quite good, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a Pan player in the band?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2cruz80 Posted March 3, 2005 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yes, Onyx was the pool band as well as nightclub band. I don't recall a pan player but I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjj111 Posted March 3, 2005 #7 Share Posted March 3, 2005 We stayed on board in the DR. We went with Camerion Reid in Grenada. He gave us a nice 4 hr tour and a stop at Grand Anse which was a very nice beach. Unfortunately, Grenada although still very pretty must have been exquisite. I hope that you enjoy your cruise.
