bdaddyiii Posted October 25, 2011 Author #9 Share Posted October 25, 2011 last thing you see when leaving the tender port. Sunset on a great day at Great Stirrup Cay. The lazy river is not done and I could not find where they were building it. Some areas were closed due to the construction so I assume it was in one of those areas. Hopefully they will be done soon. but hay teh Hippo Slide is there and hasn ot been blown away by a storm. Happy Sailing. If I can answer any questions I will. Oh the drinks made on the island were freepours and really strong.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdaddyiii Posted October 25, 2011 Author #10 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks for the pictures. Will be there in a few weeks. How much are the clam shells? Can you reserve on board or only first come first served? They were 29.99 and you can purchase them on board at the excursion desk. I jsut walked up and picked one and paid for it there. Remember that there are clam shells next to the Hippo Slide in teh family area and their are some in the adult only beach. Have fun and happy sailing.

Rare CruisinCrow Posted October 25, 2011 #13 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I can see them. Thanks for posting! We'll be there in a couple of weeks and I was hoping the lighthouse would be open by then. Bummer. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonntags Posted October 26, 2011 #14 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Do they have clamshells in the adults only area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdaddyiii Posted October 26, 2011 Author #15 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Do they have clamshells in the adults only area? Yes they do. You do not see them in the photos untill someone rents them and they open the clam shell up. Otherwise they are lying flat on the ground. The clam shells are very nice and since the beach is so large you can actually move them around a little so if you can ont get on the front row just pull yours out for a better view. I saw people doing that and it did not appear to be a problem. Have fun.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal54 Posted October 26, 2011 #16 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks for the pics, they have changed a lot since I was there. Is the swimming area still full of rocks? When we were there you had to watch out for the rocks in the water or you would hit them with your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdaddyiii Posted October 26, 2011 Author #17 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks for the pics, they have changed a lot since I was there. Is the swimming area still full of rocks? When we were there you had to watch out for the rocks in the water or you would hit them with your feet. There were some rocks in the water but not many. I think I saw five or six rocks while I was in the water. They are really working hard to make it a great island and it is coming along. they would be furhter along if not for the storms. I enjoyed the buffet. The bar-b-que was really good. I could have stayed and ate teh ribs all day long. Have fun. Smooth Sailing :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherry Baby Posted November 6, 2011 #20 Share Posted November 6, 2011 bdaddyiii- you have answered the questions of so many people on this board by posting your photos! Thanks so much for taking the time! The pictures detail everything we need to know! We'll be there in Jan. 2012, so now I'm curious how much more progress will be completed. Is there a walking trail of some kind, other than the beachfront? Or is it just too hot to pursue moving too much? Looks like you had a windy day!

krolyat Posted November 10, 2011 #22 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I was reading a Sky Daily that was posted within the month and notice that it listed hammocks as being available at GSC. Does anyone know where they are located there and if they are one person or two person? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
