jancru12 Posted February 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Is it feasible to do the Rum Factory and go to sandcastle in one day? Would it be better to do beach in the AM and Rum factory in the afternoon. Or my other thought is Cruzan and Rainbow Beach. Any Suggestions?

I recommend you do the rum tour in the morning as the beach is much closer to the ship and there won't be any stress to make it back in time. Sandcastle beats Rainbow as far as I'm concerned so I suggest you come hang out with me and the beach club in the afternoon (presuming your ship is on a Sunday).

jancru12 Posted February 24, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Drake2014 thank you so much!! Our ship will be in port on a Saturday March 14th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drake2014 Posted February 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Saturday means it will be a less crowded beach, good choice! I still stand by Sandcastle as the better choice but you probably won't see me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is incorrect, this changes.....everything.:confused: Cruzan is open on Sunday IF there is a cruise ship in town. 10am-2pm usually on ship days. Tours start every half hour. NO CASH.

EatonDoolittle Posted March 4, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Sorry to Drake (and others) if this has been asked and answered, but is there retail attached to the factory? If not, somewhere in town to pick up a few bottles? We can get it easily here in Florida, but I find it so much cheaper, almost half price, in STT, so I assume here in the motherland as well? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks No problem at all, Cruzan has a great retail section right off the tasting room where you can fill all your rum needs. They also have all the Cruzan branded stuff you would expect, shirts and hats and things. I'm going to mention this on every post about Cruzan from now on: they do not accept cash, cards only.

drake2014 Posted March 4, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) "Tasting Room"??? Decision made, I'll be there.:D Of course, that's why you do the tour right?? Here's the secret, you get two mixed drinks with your tour but "samples" (basically shots) are unlimited. The Estate Diamond is particularly delicious!

We'll be there on Sunday, April 12 so we may see you. :cool: Our plan is to go to Cruzan and on to sandcastle afterwards. Can you give me an idea of what it will cost to take a cab to Cruzan and is it easy to get one after the tour to take us to the beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give me an idea of what it will cost to take a cab to Cruzan and is it easy to get one after the tour to take us to the beach? Sure, figure $20 per couple one way. It'll probably be a little less than that but you should budget on the high side. You can arrange with your taxi driver to pick you back up after the tour or if you have enough people you can get them to wait for you. If all else fails Cruzan will call a taxi for you or you can just wait for the next group to be dropped off and snag the return ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our plan is to be at Cruzan when they open before the rest of you drink all the rum. We have friends from Canada who we sail (and drink) with so I'm just being careful. Lol Drake, if you post your picture, you may not have to buy any drinks that day. :D Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotcom012 Posted March 20, 2015 #24 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I will be down that way in June. Since I've always booked excursions through Royal and never did anything on my own. How easy is it to get off the ship and just get a taxi somewhere? This sounds like something my group would like to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the roads around the pier are closed to everyone but taxis on ship days, therefor there are dozens of taxi vans lined up around there. You will have no trouble getting one.
