Paradise Eastern Itinerary Questions

[Devoli]

I have some questions about the Paradise Eastern itinerary...can anyone help?

1. what (2) nights are formal nights?

2. are there shopping markets right off the pier in Nassua? Dominican Republic? St. Thomas? or do we need to taxi to shop?

3. what are some good shore tours?

4. who is the cruise director, Jeff Bronson?

I appreciate anyones help. We leave on July 4th.

Since no one has answered this, I'll BTT this for you and will answer what I can. There is some shopping at the pier in St. Thomas. We did however, take a taxi into "town" for most of our shopping. We went in a few stores near the pier on our way back to the ship.

Unless they changed it, formal nights are Monday and Friday. Monday is the night of the Captain's Cocktail Party.

I think there is a market in nassau somewhere near the pier. I don't get off there anymore though.

To be quite honest, i've only gotten off recently at La Romana, and the pursers arranged a tour for us at Casa de Campo. We were able to go to the private beach at their artificial lagoon. Wonderful.

I don't know if Jeff will be the CD, but I'd say it is very likely he will be.

Thank you so much. You were very helpful.

I would suggest Godfrey tours for St. Thomas.
