Cruise tips
The port had a few boutique stores on the pier. Go across the street to shop at a few nice souvenir stores. Lots of pot smokers in town.
A beautiful port with a nice boardwalk. Take the boardwalk to sightsee and souvenir shop. We also walked 5 blocks to a grocery supermarket for snacks and soda pop. Do not miss the Peggy’s cove excursion, a scenic tour thru fishing villages and the ocean shoreline.
A beautiful port in a country side setting. We took the 7 hour Cabot Trail excursion. Lots of scenic stops, only one shopping stop at a Gaelic college store.
Carnival Venezia
Get to the shows 30 minutes early, especially the comedy show.
Limited shopping, not a great town to sightsee
A gated shopping area with several shops.
Regal Princess
Get to shows and trivia games early.
Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)
Nice clean beach ,lots of lounge chairs. Very crowded ship tenders, took over 30 minutes to load and unload passengers.
Great shopping and beach close to the dock
Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Only a few port shops, and a craft market nearby. Pretty harbor but not much to see walking in town.
Our island excursion was on a modern bus with a/c and bottled water for the guests. Went to see Sacred Heart church on the hill, beautiful view, a huge botanical garden, and the Clemon estate and rum factory. Very scenic drive with many sugar cane and banana fields.
A large city, but not very scenic. Our excursion stops were a small waterfall, a cemetery and St Francois beach. A 5 hour bus ride, not at all impressed.
Enchanted Princess
All specialty dining was reserved but I checked daily for openings and did find a few openings.
A lot of shopping, very clean and easy to walk shopping areas.
Masks required and could only shop in limited areas
Masks required and could only disembark on an excursion.

Frederiksted, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.

Celebrity Equinox
No USB outlets in cabins
Mardi Gras
Full ship with crowded venues, Plan to get anywhere early.
Limited shopping, nice beach area.
Always very hot, we always stop at CVS for snacks and items we forgot.
Only excursion guests could disembark. We stayed on board, very disappointing.
Brand new terminal , easy to get around
Carnival Breeze
Get to comedy shows early (30 minutes). We tried to get in 15 minutes beforehand and had to stand.
Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas
A shuttle will take you to several areas. We has a Oasis lagoon cabana, which provided towels, water, bar and food service. The oasis lagoon was very clean ,only waste deep and had a swim up bar with a DJ playing music. Loved it all!
Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
Went to Maya cay excursion. A local resort island, with snorkeling, beaches, a fresh water pool and a animal rescue center. They had a cash bar for alcoholic drinks and served a delicious lunch that was included with the excursion.
Limited excursions, a large pool, bars and a lot of shopping. Before COVID there were local entertainers, with music and dancing, nothing right now.
Many shops at the dockside port. Margaritaville and Senor frogs open for drinks by the waterfront.
Symphony of the Seas
Day one book all shows on the app, they fill up fast. Also make dinner reservations for each day.
