sail7seas Posted February 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2013 There is very little activity here because so few cruise ships call at St. Barts. HAL is the only of the 'mass market' lines that stops a few times each season at St. Barts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp1 Posted February 21, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2013 St Barts used to included in the Caribbean-Other forum but now it has it's own page. Yes, it's been a year now- not so much activity/info here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted April 6, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 6, 2013 It's a beautiful port but not many people get there. After many years of cruising we finally visited there a couple of months ago. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryw Posted April 6, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted April 6, 2013 We were in St. Kitt's in Feb. for the first time, on Oceania. It was the last of 5 ports. The first four were spent at beaches, so we just hired a local taxi driver to give us a tour. St. Kitts was absolutely beautiful! But for future reference if we go back, if anyone knows where to rent umbrellas and beach chairs, please post. I heard that it is a challenge.

sail7seas Posted June 29, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2013 We've been lucky to stop two times at St. Bart's on Maasdam. She is a smaller ship so permitted to anchor and tender. We loved both of our stops there. Beautiful, luxurious, lovely vacation spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryw Posted June 29, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted June 29, 2013 We'll be returning in February on Oceania. If anyone knows where to rent beach chairs and umbrellas, please post. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2013 We really enjoyed St. Barts but not many cruise ships stop here which is one of the reasons we do enjoy it. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted June 29, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I don't think HAL any longer has port stops there ... or at least none scheduled for 2014. :confused: LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 1, 2013 #10 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I don't think HAL any longer has port stops there ... or at least none scheduled for 2014. :confused: LuLu ~~~~ I'll have to check if Maasdam is doing the 14 day cruise again...... I think that is the one on which we stopped in St. Barts. I'd be disappointed if they no longer go there. It's a lovely stop. Very pricey but we knew that in advance.

Karysa Posted July 12, 2013 #11 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I love St. Bart's and have visited on day trips from St. Maarten and St. Martin during land vacations. It looks much the same as it did on my first visit in 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podie Posted September 21, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Stopping for 9 hours in St. Barts on Celebrity Century in February. Planning on renting a car and driving around so if anyone has any specific recommendations please let me know! A few beaches will definitely be in the itinerary!

samom Posted September 25, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I second this request for information on where to go to the beach with chair and shade rentals. Traveling on Oceana in February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullsfan Posted October 8, 2013 #15 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I guess beaches are the only thing here? Is there anything besides a beach (unless there is plenty of shade somewhere)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryw Posted October 9, 2013 Author #16 Share Posted October 9, 2013 St. Bart's was the fifth and last port. At the previous four, we went to the beach. So as a change of pace, we visited the shops, then hired one if the numerous taxis to give us a 90 minute tour, which was fine. Samom - We're on Oceania 2/12.

twtudor Posted October 26, 2013 #17 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Podie, We will be on that Celebrity cruise also. We are thinking about renting a car. Who did you use and what was the cost if you don't mind ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
