Come promesso questa volta non faccio la pigra come al solito e cercherò di postare durante questa crociera

Questa crociera l'abbiamo prenotata a settembre a bordo di Silhouette e avremo un credit onboard di 300 dollari, inoltre ci hanno fatto scegliere che tipo di tavolo volevamo a cena (quante persone, di che nazionalita'...). Io ho scelto un tavolo da 6 persone e come nazionalità, dato che dubito ci saranno italiani, ho solo espresso il desiderio di non avere tedeschi, non per motivi particolari, ma per il semplice fatto che nè io nè mio marito parliamo tedesco. Sono curiosa di vedere con chi finiremo a tavola..
Per il momento ho prenotato 3 gite, non con celebrity, ma in organizzazione con altri crocieristi che postano su cruise critic, per il resto pensiamo di fare spiaggia ed eventualmente organizzare altro in loco.
Le isole le abbiamo già visitate tutte esclusion fatto di Dominica e St.Croix.
Vi posto il dettaglio delle escursioni che ho prenotato, così come mi è stato inviato via email:
Prima escursione a BARBADOS con Bolador Tours:
"Our catamaran has the capacity for 40 people but we limit our numbers to 14 people which allows for a personal experience. Our rate for a 5 hour lunch cruise is US$85.00 and our price includes transport to and from the Port, an open bar (rum, rum punch, beer, soft drinks, juices), buffet lunch and three stops (turtles, ship wrecks, beach). We have adequate shade and we also have life jackets, snorkel masks and flippers on board which are available at no extra cost.
We usually collect our groups at 9:00 a.m. from the Port and you will need to be at Gate 2. Our representative will be holding a Bolador Tours sign. We will take cash payment before your party boards the catamaran. If you need to cancel your booking, please advise us within 48 hours of your cruise otherwise we will incur catering costs."
Seconda escursione a Santa Lucia:
"We pick up from the cruise ship dock between 8:30am - 9:00am and sail down off the island towards Soufriere. On the way down we do Whale / Dolphin Watching as the majority of the sightings are in the Soufriere area. *We then head into Soufriere where we stop off for snorkelling at one of the marine reserve. There would also be some beach time for those not interested in snorkelling. After, we head back up the coast passing through Marigot Bay and then back to the cruise ship port. The tour last around 6 hours and we provide beverages, snorkel gear and light
snacks. ( sandwiches, fruit , chicken wings). US$70 per person"
Terza escursione a Dominica:
"Roseau Valley Treasures (wet tour)
Champagne Reef: (1st stop) One of the most unique snorkeling areas in the eastern Caribbean. Take a short 5 minutes walk to the end of the stony beach, until you get to a cliff where you will gear up, walk in and begin a very different under water experience. You will be swimming in bubbles like you were in a giant aquarium. If you do not have snorkel gears, we can provide gears at $5.00us per set (complete snorkel set with fins). If you would like to get gears from us, please let us know your shoe size, since we do not carry all sizes in the fins and only carry gears for those who request it. If we do not carry your size, it could be rented at champagne at $12.00us a set.
Titou Gorge: One of the most unique areas on the Island and it's also a spot where part of Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 was filmed. Like just about all fresh water swimming areas on the Island, The water at Titou Gorge is a bit cold. To enjoy the gorge you would have to take the short swim (about 2 minutes) up a cave like area (you do not swim under water). The swim is about 100 feet and the water is about 10 feet deep at its deepest point, but it's only about waist high when you get to the middle of the cave-Like area. There is a small waterfall one can swim to, if the water is not flowing too heavy (must do). One can also climb the waterfall (5 feet) to get to another waterfall but has to be very athletic since you have to jump about 6 feet out into the water on your way down to avoid a ledge in the water. This part is not for everyone and is optional even if you can make the jump. (There is an easy 5-7 minutes walk to Titou Gorge). We provide swim belts to all our guests.
*Trafalgar Falls: (two waterfalls in the same area) 10 minutes walk one way up a few steps. The walk is not too difficult but can be a bit challenging if one has any major problems with their backs, legs, hips or if one is short in breath due to lungs or heart condition. After the ten minutes walk, you get to a platform where you view the waterfalls and take photos. There is an optional extra two minutes walk where you can soak in the HOT mineral water (natural hot spring). This part of the tour is not for everyone since it's a bit challenging getting to the hot spring (uneven and slippery). Visitors should take their time walking to and around the hot spring since the area is a bit rocky, slippery and steep. Climbing to the base of the waterfall should be avoided as much as possible because of the danger involved.
Botanical Gardens: (There you will see different plants trees and flowers grown on the Island) 5 minutes from Morne Bruce. (drive through)
Morne Bruce: (an area where you can see the entire city of Roseau from the top of a hill) 7 minutes drive from the ship. (Great for taking photos) (optional)
The estimated duration of the tour is about 5 to 6 hours and has about 1 to 1.5 hours driving and about 30 minutes walking, total. The tour cost $47.00us per person (adult). Children under 14 years but older than 5 years, pays $10.00us less ($37.00us). There's no charge for children 5 and under, all they pay is the government sight pass fee $5.00us.
Adesso non mi resta che chiudere le valigie e caricare in macchina, un saluto a tutto il forum a quelli che sono già imbarcati, a chi sta per partire e a quelli che partiranno...
