Me, my DH and son (15) will be taking our first cruise June 24th on the Carnival Legend out of NYC. We decided at the last minute to go and we have 14 days before the cruise leaves.
I have read a gazillion message boards and forums and now I am OVERWHELMED with all of the information I have found. I am mostly confused about the shore excursions. We will be going to San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola.
I have found excellent suggestions, ideas, reviews and comments on this and other boards about all the things to do in these ports. The problem is trying to decide what to do. Book through Godfrey or explore on our own? Book through Carnival or go on our own. It seems that opinions are split evenly on what is the best thing/beach/tour to do. As you can imagine, being a first timer, it is extremely intimadating!!
My husband and son love the beach and water and swim very well. I on the other hand do not know how to swim but like the beauty of the beaches. I love to shop and I know that I am trying to plan the perfect vacation in a short amount of time. Before I stress my self out further, I decided to stop lurking and turn to the experts. For starters, We will be entering San Juan about 3 p.m. and leaving at midnight. The next day is St. Thomas. We enter into port at 7 a.m. and leave at 6p.m. Finally, we enter Tortola at 7 a.m. and leave at 2 p.m. Any recommendatins and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! :huh:
