We just got back Nov 14. We took  Bernard's tour also, we loved it. We had Junior for our driver and he kept his cooler full of rum punch and ice cold Carib beer.  He dropped us off at Orient beach for 2 hours,  where we rented 3 chaise lounges and an umbrella for $10.00. I would have loved staying there all day.

Just a few of my observations from my first cruise. I planned this cruise for 18 months for my 32 year old daughter and myself (my husband came along also). VIP embarkation was wonderful.  Went right up to Lido, it was great we had a server named Jerome who looked for us and took care of us all week.  I hear that after our first 3 ...

Which seating were you at?  I was on that cruise and in the Platinum dining room early seating.  I never met the Maitre'd. Our waiter and assistant waiter were very good.  The supper club was totally awesome. The food was so beautiful that it was a shame to eat it. My daughter was upset on debarkation.  We went down ...

So am I, I think alright cruising in 4 days and then I think I'll be back to work in 12. Sick, huh?  The scary thing is I still cant decide on excursions or go on our own in St Maarten, St Thomas. Any ideas anyone?

So would you say its an easy place to get around?  Like walk to shopping, get a cab to a beach, etc?  I'm in charge of all of this for the group and am a nervous wreck about choosing right.

Which St Maarten tour? Was it Bernard's?  I am about to book one but am afraid to commit. I booked with Godfreys in St Thomas, I heard good things about them, hope were not sorry,

I have been planning this cruise for 18 months and am down to 6 days and havent chosen an excursion for St Maarten. I've heard good things about Bernard's tours. Anybody with an opinion? I need help fast please.  We really want to snorkle, relax on the beach and do some sightseeing (and when my husband isnt looking, some shopping). ...

I'm already getting depressed for when they kick us off. I think I'll hide under the bed. Last week they bumped me from a Cat 11 to a Cat 12, I havent told my husband or daughter yet.  They are going to be so surprised!! This is the first cruise for all 3 of us.  It makes all my overtime worth it. We are also going the day ...

Boy you're lucky, our ship leaves at 2:00 pm we're only in the Bahamas for 5 hours   b

 I work in Othello100 miles from Yakima, its a small world. Yeah its a long way, we fly from Spokane Wa to Orlando (an extra $1500. which made my husband crabby)
