Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8E

On Lido deck and room was only 2 rooms away from all the action. From the balcony we could hear the music and activities but was never bothersome in the evening bed time, unless your someone that goes to sleep at 9pm.

Took ferry for $7 pp or $14 pp round trip, takes 20 minutes. Took taxi to trunk bay $6 pp plus tip. $4 pp to enter trunk bay. Was wonderful snorkeling. Lots colored fish all sizes. Popular snorkeling place. They do rent chairs snorkeling equipment. I heard $50 deposit for chairs that are lawn chairs and tiny umbrella. Don't know cost to rent.

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Took taxi to Marriott on frigate bay. Be careful of taxis from cruise port. Told us at port the charge was $12 to Marriott. The taxi driver tried to charge $12 a person. Doorman at Marriott straighten out the taxi driver . Actually doorman got upset with driver for trying to rip us off.

We got a day pass at Marriott for $35 that got us use of their beach umbrella 2 chairs and their 3 swimming pools. The grounds are beautiful. Beach is on Atlantic side so wave were big but the resort has break wall .

Walked down beach couple hundred feet and got umbrella and 2 chairs with cushions for $20 , beautiful white sand and all water activities you want, jet ski, banana boat, para sailing.
