bayou cruiser Posted October 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I need someone to jog my memory. We did a Southern Caribbean cruise out of San Juan and I remember lots of people returning to the ship with lots of wheels of cheese. Does anyone know what port that would be? The shop was right at the port, close to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted October 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I'd think it is Curaçao or maybe Bonaire. Dutch islands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wineaux007 Posted October 19, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2022 There was a cheese shop in Bonaire, but it closed down when we went looking for it last February. We picked up some when we were walking back to the ship at some of the kiosks in Curacao. You could pick some up in St. Maarten. There's a grocery store on the left 1/2 way when walking from the port to the town. It's all hard cheese and safe to bring back thru customs.

ARandomTraveler Posted October 19, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Curacao. I still have an 8lb block of Gouda in my fridge from my last southern Caribbean cruise out of Puerto Rico 😂. Theres a seller right outside of the ship at that port. I'm sure you can also buy it in Aruba since I've seen the same brand of cheese in the Aruba airport.
