Wonder if anyone has been on the eastern caribbean cruise. Any pointers would be welcom. Thanks in advance for your time

I and others here have been on plenty of them. We will be happy to assist you in whatever way possible. We appreciate the thanks but that is not necessary. It is fun to help people plan their cruises. For those of us temporarily stuck on shore, it gives us a chance to live vicariously through you in your adventures.

I just booked the cruise today. I will be visiting Half Moon Cay, St. Thomas and San Juan. Just welcoming any pointers/advise. This will be my third cruise. Last year I went on western caribbean cruise.

Half Moon Cay is the private island, great beach, decent snorkeling. If you've been to St. Thomas before, take the ferry to St. John and a cab to Trunk Bay. It is one of the top 10 beaches in the world with a self-guided snorkeling trail about 50 yards from the beach. Absolutely beautiful! If you've not been to St. Thomas and wish to stay there, any catamaran sail/snorkel will be good, Magen's Bay, Coki Beach, or Sapphire Beach are nice, and there's plenty of shopping. A tour of old San Juan is interesting and the Bacardi factory tour is yummy! Best wishes and have a wonderful cruise!

Luv2cruise, I always wait for Penny to reply. She does a great job with Caribbean information. She is also right on target with her suggestions.
