smokinmike Posted July 26, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted July 26, 2011 First time on the SC for me too but my wife has been aboard several times. We did a 10 day aboard the Royal Clipper in March of this year and we were both very happy with that cruise in all respects. I'm sure ya'll will be happy - the Caribbean in March is a good place to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinmike Posted December 16, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Just returned from a week in the western Caribbean aboard HAL's Nieuw Amsterdam - a great time and a nice counterpoint to the clipper ships. Can't wait for the flight to St. Maartin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm close to bodily harm. I gotta go where it's warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CassNJ Posted January 14, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hi Just booked 3/10 as well for my kids spring break. My family did the Costa Rica to Panama cruise last year and we had a ball. Can't wait to do a repeat! Anyone have any advice on hotels. Flying in 3/9 and flying out 3/19. Don't want to spend a bundle? Any advice would be appreciated.

2bamboo Posted January 15, 2012 #10 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We stayed at Divi Little Bay before our cruise. Lots of different room types to choose from. When the ship departure was delayed a day, Star Clipper put us up at the Sonesta Maho Bay. Nice hotel but it's right next to the airport runway so you need to get a room facing the water, which raises the price. All the Hotels in the area are struggling with hurricane damage, bugs and general tropical moisture. It comes with the territory. Lots of Trip advisor reviews mention poor service. The pace of life is slower, take a deep breath and enjoy :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinmike Posted January 19, 2012 Author #11 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My wife and I are booked in La Plantation near Orient Bay for several days post-cruise - seems like a nice place, not all that expensive and it's about a five minute walk to the beach. We've never stayed there but people on TripAdvisor seem to be happy with their stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habenicd Posted March 19, 2012 #22 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Well, we made it home late last night. Today, dirty laundry and dive gear are scattered everywhere. Groceries have been purchased (we have to cook for ourselves now -yuk!) and the dogs have been reclaimed from the kennel. Smokinmike and CassNJ it was very nice to meet you, your spouses and family. We hope to see you again sometime on another Star Clipper ship. Thanks to the officers and crew of the spv Star Clipper for another great trip!

smokinmike Posted March 23, 2012 Author #23 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Nancy and I had a great time meeting everyone, enjoying the conversations, the laughter, great food, beautiful islands and an outstanding ship and crew. Thanks for the memories! . . . we're thinking about the Amalfi Coast aboard one of the Clippers . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
