Cruise tips
Bonaire, Netherlands Special Municipality
This island has a few beaches and all are Rocky. We were going to Klein Island but they don't have Beer nor Bathrooms. We went to Spice Beach Club and got chairs and an Umbrella !! Great Day and did not depart until 9:00 PM that night which was very relaxing !!
Margaritatville is very nice but very expensive !! I would take a left off the ship and spend the day at Jack's Shack about a 3 block walk down the beach and play with Topher the dog.
Go to Saona Island but it is a 40 minute boat ride
Too many things to do !! You can stay near the ship and shop and do all the things by the boat, Hit De Palm Island (Pass on it ), We hit the Donkey Sanctuary (Free except it was a 25.00 cab ride) which has 150 Donkey's that we were able to feed Apples that we took off the ship. We purchased food there for $3.00 and made a donation. Our driver waited then drove us to Palm Beach which was amazing !! We got chairs and an umbrella near the Hyatt Hotel. We also had lunch from Scott's Bratz which is a Chicago / Wisconsin Tiki hut bar with great food !!

We just got back from our 8 Day Cruise on the Carnival Vista and the ship is much bigger than any other Carnival Ship. The only complaint that I had is they should have TV's at the Casino Bar since that is where most of the action is at night. I understand there is a Sports Bar right around the corner but it seems like most people hang out in the Casino area at night and TV's would be a welcome addition. The rest of the ship is great and I love the way they have all the pictures on your phone (download the Hub app before you cruise) or on your in room TV. Steakhouse was great, Italian, Asian, Sushi, Havana Bar etc...All great. The new boarding process is streamlined along with getting on and off the ship with their handheld scanners. I heard a lot of people complaining about the ship ?? Can't please everyone !!
