We actually prefer to take a ship's excursion too. This time, we had booked (thru Princess) "A Day at Jungle Reef Resort". It was cancelled AT THE PIER!  Everyone was standing around waiting when we were informed the excursion had been cancelled due to labor disputes with the resort employees!
Fortunately, last year, we had been to Reduit Beach on our own so we just did it again and did have a very good day....
Several years ago we took that "Northern Highllights & Beach" excursion offered by HAL with my aunt and uncle who have some minor mobility problems. The beach part was to a hotel at Reduit Beach. Because we were only at the beach an hour and a half, it didn't seem worth the effort to rent chairs and get wet. Also, it was a rather windy day and the surf was QUITE rough! We did enjoy sitting around on the deck in the hotel's beach bar area which overlooked the ocean.
The way back , thankfully, was directly to the cruise pier with no "Northern Highlights" (not bad, just didn't want to see them again). So on our next port stop there, we felt comfortable taking a taxi directly to Reduit Beach on our own because we had done the drive before and knew we could always easily find another taxi if something happened to ours. |
