Martinique, Bonaire and Curacao fun from Royal Princess

Do any of you remember seeing a place with free wifi near any of the ports. I usually find a café, etc that has this. Thanks for any info.

@jplewis - Amber Cove had free WiFi in a coffee shop and it used to at the shore excursions area for Fathom volunteer activities - not sure if that's still there at all. I think for the cafe that you might have to be a customer though.

Also saw a ton of people gathered outside a drug store. Figure that was for free wifi.

We, too, were on this cruise. Spent the day in Amber Cove in the pool - onboard ship. Martinique was a 2 stop snorkel excursion that spent a half hour at the first stop with a little reef, baby fish, and a few bats, then most of the rest of the time trying to find a 2nd place to snorkel (poor planning). Snorkeled by a black sand beach - you can't see hardly anything under water with black sand. We went shopping on St. Thomas, and stayed on the ship in our short morning visit to Grenada (we've been there 2x before and didn't like it).

 

Bonaire was the absolute highlight of our cruise. Went snorkeling with Woodwind Sail And Snorkel, spending hours in the water on a beautiful reef. I saw every other tour boat come and go while we were there - and we stopped at two locations along the reef. Woodwind topped it off with a great lunch onboard before returning us to the dock. Would go to Bonaire and snorkel with Woodwind again in a heartbeat.

 

Curacao was a planned relax and stroll day for us. To our delight we found better shops and a restaurant in the fort than we had seen in the past, and came home with souvenir Delft coffee cups with a design we've been looking for since we broke the one we bought in The Netherlands several years ago.

 

We missed getting together with our roll call folks, but this became a great cruise for us getting in contact with each other after the patterns of everyday life set in. We came back refreshed.

 

RE: the comment below about ABC islands. Love B and C, but have not been impressed with A.

Hi, can you tell me what the fort is, and where it's at? Thanks.
