TwoTexans Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Eastern Caribbean itinerary: PR, St. M, St. K, and Coco Cay. I have a Bluetooth speaker that I usually travel with, but I'm conscious of the line between enjoying my music and noise pollution. I don't want to be "that guy" but I also love listening to summer beach music while on a beach! I'm torn. Thoughts? Are there areas in Coco Cay that would warrant the speaker? Does Coco Cay pump music throughout the island, making it pointless to bring something to compete with the island music? I know the obvious: bring it, and keep the volume at a level that respects those around me. I'm asking about the presence of competing with other music, or breaking an unspoken rule such as "this beach area is supposed to be the quiet area, that beach area is for the speaker people" How about at the other ports? Will this just be additional weight and a liability in my bag? Plans to beach it up at St. Maarten, and to hike in St. Kitts. Speaker: altec Lansing boom jacket, approx. 6*2*2, 5lbs, waterproof, exclusively plays Zak Brown, Morgan Wallen, and assoc.s n.b. I'm just excited for my cruise and looking for a way to help pass the time before departure Terri Smith Johnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tira04 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I'm not sure what the music is like on coco cay, but could you not bring headphones? You can enjoy your music and not worry about it. TwoTexans and dr martini 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellipses127 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I brought a bluetooth speaker and used it in our cabin, but didn't take it out anywhere. I would say to invest in some nice comfortable waterproof ear buds so you can have the music when you want it and not worry about disturbing anyone Tira04 and TwoTexans 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr martini Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 around the ship and on the pool deck, no. in your cabin, sure. on the beach? again i would say no. there is music on parts of pdcc and the people who want that vibe will go there. the people who want to hear just the waves and the wind will scatter along the edges. don't be the blaring music guy. bring airpods if you must, but even then you're robbing yourself a lot of the experience (and you might not hear the bar staff coming by for the next round!)

Terri Smith Johnson Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 We plan on bringing ours, as well, but are def considerate of others; We are beach people and bring it with us, always! Enjoy! TwoTexans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoTexans Posted March 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Read the room, don't be selfish, and have a plan B. All very helpful advice! Thanks y'all! So from what I've learned, my plan is to bring my speaker and play it as loud as possible, at all times, everywhere, always. Cool? Cool.
