We took an open air cab up to Magen's Bay -- wow.... breathtaking!   The ride up and down the mountain -- as exciting as a trip to an amusement park!!  

Our cab driver was nice enough to stop for us on the way back down the mountain at "Udder Delight" for a milkshake with a "splash" of adult flavor... I'd been told we needed to stop there and I must say it was worth the stop. 

Nice water in Magen's bay and equipment rentals are available.  Don't waste time snorkeling, though, you'd see more in a swimming pool! 

Shopping after our beach time was good, too.  But go "downtown" instead of right by the port for the best stuff. 

Cab drivers CONSTANTLY asking if you want a ride was you're walking up and down so don't be afraid of walking too far and being too tired to make it back to ship.  You can get a cab ANYWHERE.

This was a beautiful place and I can't wait to return.  Wish we'd had more time there!

St. Thomas

Beautiful place, again, and a lot of fun.   Only port I have ever been too, though, where there is not a lot of English!  Not even right where the ships dock.  

I can't give this place a typical review because I had a local who I work with pick us up and show us "his San Juan".  Friendly people, fantastic food, and Old San Juan has a very nice feel to it despite the tourists. 

Things seem very "business as usual" even with swarming cruise passengers wandering around.  A lot of things were closed because we were there on Columbus Day, though. 

The castles are beautiful and worth seeing.  Skip rum factory tours -- I mean, come on, it's just a FACTORY! :-)

San Juan

I'm probably not fairly rating Nassau because it seems every cruise I take lands you there so I'm just personally a little tired of it. 

Nice enough place to walk around.

My one tip -- there is an ATM in the marketfair area (where the ships let you out) that charges NO FEE!!   This will save you $8 or so over ship ATM.  Your bank may still charge you its fee of course, but to find this no-fee ATM did kind of shock me. 

Kind of difficult to get out in the city without 29 people either trying to sell you a tour or braid your hair.  If you want a tour, negotiate away here and you'll definitely beat the ship's prices.  If you don't, just tell them that you're already meeting someone -- every other version of "no" doesn't seem to work.

EVERY store here seems willing to barter on EVERY price -- so if you like that sort of thing, you'll have fun here. :-)

Nassau

Lots of storage place, nice view from balcony.  Location is perfect for getting to pool, guest services, Four Seasons, and buffet very quickly.  Very close to elevator and stairs.

If you are going on the Sun in the next month or so please look for an Edwin on the bar staff and tell him "Stacee and her friends" sent you to him --then maybe you can get the kind of VIP service that we got from him, too :-)   He was perhaps the best single crew member I have encountered on any ship anywhere.The only time I did call the guest services desk was when I was looking for pool towels (ours hadn't made it to room yet) and they told me just to go check them out poolside so that we wouldn't have to wait because they were "very busy".
