Will we have time?

[NurseMarla]

We will be in GC from 7a-4p, will that be enough time to do a 5 hour tour with Nativeway and do some shopping? We have never been to a tender port. The tour drops us back off at the port, but I would like to do some shopping before going back to the ship. We mainly are looking for BBD rum & rum cakes. From what I have gathered on here, we can get the BBD rum at the landmark building, but what about the rum cakes? Also, are these places within walking distance of the port?

Any info is GREATLY appreciated. :)

There are PLENTy of stores right across the street from the tender dock, but I don't know if they have the rum cakes (not a rum fan!)....totally walkable..you should have plenty of time!

 

If they don't have the cakes, you can probably order them online from home!

Loads of time and lots of shopping around port. The tender is about 6 minutes long and they get people through quite quickly.

 

There is a BBD store across the street from the port to the right. They sell Blackbeard's rum cakes. If you exit the terminal on the left you will see a (duty free?) store that sells alcohol and Tortuga Rum cakes.

 

You can also purchase Tortuga Rum cakes on the ship (well, for sure on carnival) and they are comparably priced to the land price.

You can buy the Blackbeards Rum Cakes at the same place you buy the BBD rum in the Landmark building.

 

There are LOTS of places to purchase rum cakes. The two major brands are Tortuga and Blackbeards.

 

You'll have to sample both brands to decide which is better. Buy some from each and let your family back home form an opinion. :D
