sk8erguy1978 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 How about a little throwback to our first Royal Caribbean cruise in 2007 to Bermuda. It was our second cruise (first was a carnival 3-day themed a few months prior) and we fell in love with Royal Caribbean and Bermuda. We did the shipwreck tour and Horseshoe Bay. accio7, JLMoran, FionaMG and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaMG Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Great idea! Some of my fave beaches: Eagle Beach, Aruba (Navigator of the Seas, Nov. 2018) Magens Bay, St. Thomas (Adventure of the Seas, Nov. 2019) Our local beach, Praia da Falésia ("Cliff Beach"), Algarve, Portugal (May 2020, first time out after lockdown measures began to be lifted) Ogilthorpe, sk8erguy1978, Spang1974 and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even got married there! The people are so friendly. The island is beautiful and so much history. We have not even touched the surface on things to do in our 7 visits. Mainly because we do same thing... Get scooter, go to beach, go shopping in Hamilton, etc. We did do the caves one year and Swizzle Inn after. Totally recommend!

melmar02 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 DH was nominated to hold the meeting sign for our America's Cup excursion in St. Maarten on our first cruise because he's 6'4". And DS was nominated to hold the meeting sign for our excursion meeting in Roatan this past September because, well, 7 year olds are just cute. He was the smallest kid on the excursion.

Ampurp85 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 @Andrew72681 That Detroit dog easily and I am from Chicago. I would say expensive in a sense, that doesn't seem too bad for a tourist trap. I once paid $12 for a chilly dog from Revolution brewpub in like 2015...no beer or sides included.

Ampurp85 Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 @Ogilthorpe New taxes for July will be 11.75% for restaurants downtown and 10.75% in city. Don't smoke because cigarettes are like $15 a pack, property taxes are almost 3%...all of that will increase soon. That's why I love traveling, I get more bang for my buck almost everywhere.
