laurelguy Posted October 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hi cruisers. So we're booked on Legend in December. San Juan to San Juan Dec. 26th. It's a new itinerary.First stop is Culebra where Flamenco Beach is. One of the top 10 beaches in the world. I'm trying to find out if one can get from where the ship anchors to this spot. Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb44 Posted October 5, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Understand that there are lots of taxi's available to the beach. We're going week before you and that's our plan. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTCOP Posted October 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2015 We are on this cruise in February, so I will appreciate any information you all have from Culebra when you get back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurelguy Posted October 17, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Sounds good! Any reports appreciated. Just not sure where the ship will anchor. Fun, funky little island. Edited October 17, 2015 by laurelguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timandnancy Posted December 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Anything where the ship docks?? Town to stroll through? Bars? Thanks! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet987 Posted December 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 26, 2016 From LonelyPlanet, "There is taxi service on the island, but they’re basically público vans designed to get large parties of people back and forth between the ferry dock and Playa Flamenco for a couple of dollars per person." can also rent jeeps, golf carts, scooters, bikes. Beaches and nature preserve the top draw. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/puerto-rico/eastern-puerto-rico/culebra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTCOP Posted December 27, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 27, 2016 We were in Culebra last February. You will tender in. The town is very small. But there is a fun place to eat - the Dingy Dock. Good drinks, fish, and sandwiches. You can have a table right along the dock and watch the boats go in and out, as well as see the fresh fish get brought in. The taxi vans are very cheap and efficiently get you out to Flamenco Beach and back. The beach is gorgeous. We loved our relaxing day there!

kcparrothead Posted January 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 19, 2017 We will be there in March and are hoping to visit Flamenco for awhile, then go to Tamarindo Beach to snorkel with the sea turtles there. Has anyone done both beaches during the 8 to 5 stop? I'm wondering if we are planning too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunprince Posted January 19, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Does anyone know where the Legend is between Feb 18 and March 11? There is a big gap in the schedule and assume it is charters but I'm not sure. We embark the Legend on March 11 so I am just curious what's happening before that? Anyone know?

Ckelman Posted January 19, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 19, 2017 No idea, but I'll see you on the 11th! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ckelman Posted January 19, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 19, 2017 @sunprince I was curious, so I called windstar. She's definitely booked for charters during that time frame. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunprince Posted January 20, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Ok, thanks. I suspected it was chartered but 3 weeks in a row on charter seems unusual. Also looking forward to our cruise on the 11th! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunprince Posted January 20, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 20, 2017 And hopefully it is not partially chartered or large group booking on board for our March 11 cruise! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott2667 Posted February 10, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 10, 2017 It is a Charter for my company sailing from San Juan. We have 2 full weeks beginning Feb 25 and have the whole ship. I am sailing the first wave on Feb 25. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunprince Posted February 11, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thanks for the update and enjoy your charter. Glad to have this over before we board. Never want to be onboard a Windstar cruise with a large group booking. It's just not the same experience. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toucanbritz Posted February 12, 2017 #18 Share Posted February 12, 2017 We will be there in March and are hoping to visit Flamenco for awhile, then go to Tamarindo Beach to snorkel with the sea turtles there. Has anyone done both beaches during the 8 to 5 stop? I'm wondering if we are planning too much. Some people on our cruise last week did both beaches. The taxi dropped them off at Tamarindo Beach and the driver gave them directions on how to walk over to Flamenco beach (a 20 minute walk). We saw them back on the ship and they said they had visited both beaches easily within the timeframe, taking a taxi back to the ship from Flamenco Beach.

Sunprince Posted February 17, 2017 #21 Share Posted February 17, 2017 So it's like a "sales incentive" cruise? Glad that you guys have the ship to yourselves! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
