I am so used to all the same ports - Nassau and Cozumel of course, but really St. Thomas and all the other Mexican ports are not much different, and then of course the private islands are nice in their way. What is different about places like St. Lucia and Barbados? They just seem fancier or maybe less overdeveloped or something but honestly I have no real clue. Barbados is powder sand, pink beaches. St. Lucia is mountainous, jungle and volcanic. Just crazy variety and the weather, sans hurricanes, is 80 degrees year round. Gorgeous. Adventurous. Beautiful. Caribbean. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TravelE Posted February 5 #31 Share Posted February 5 I'm here and excited to follow along! If Carnival is the Walmart of the Seas, I feel like Virgin Voyages is the Studio 54 of those same Seas. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister and I often wonder why we weren’t born early enough to go to Studio 54… I’ve figured out that if we had… we wouldn’t have made it this far. 😆🕺🏻 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted February 5 #44 Share Posted February 5 1 hour ago, MeganGC1983 said: Plan of attack: San Juan- El Yunque and Old San Juan. Excursion through viator Tortola: beach day… probably Cane’s Garden Bay Guadeloupe: it’s Mardi Gras! Checking out town and watching the Lunes Gras parade Barbados: headed to the famous Boatyard St Lucia: Happy Valentine’s Day. Island, land and sea tour with Spencer Ambrose. antigua: lobster lunch catamaran and then more beach!! Excursion through viator I’ve never been to Guadeloupe nor Antigua. So there are firsts for me as well this sailing. The majority of our group has never sailed before. Some of the repeat sailors have only sailed VV. This name is familiar. We zipped in a powerboat down the coast of St Lucia to in between the Pitons where we hung on the beach, snorkeled and then zipped back up in same powerboat. What's happening on your St Lucia excursion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MeganGC1983 Posted February 6 Author #45 Share Posted February 6 A little bit of background on the Airbnb: I started pricing hotels for San Juan, if you haven’t ever, prepare for sticker shock… like Miami with more tax shock. With so many of us, I thought the Airbnb route would be more budget friendly, but the needs and wants of 6 couples and 2 singles doesn’t always mesh. I wanted something in old San Juan, but anything that had enough beds didn’t have separate rooms. Some had large bunk rooms with 3-5 beds in one general area. That was NOT gonna work. This isn’t summer camp. I’m not sharing a bunk bed with my sister and brother in law. Finally, I found a place with 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a general sitting area, kitchen and what not in the Condado area. Previously, we stayed in the same neighborhood, before our April 2023 Celebrity cruise at Casa Wilson. Am I nervous about it? Yes. Am I just rolling with it? Yes. Each room ended up paying $408 for a two night stay. Hopefully it all works out. The reviews are fantastic and it’s ranked the 14th best location in Puerto Rico. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's happening on your St Lucia excursion? Spencer Ambrose does what you described. Our’s will include that plus a land option visiting waterfalls, the volcano and the mudbathes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
