Yes, we definitely need a vacation after the vacation, but it was a lovely time.

To us, a med cruise is church and rubble history class.
On our first med cruise our last stop after 12 days (10 stops) was Barcelona.
We have to see Sagrada Família. Reaction: not another church. But it was the best one.
Need a vacation after the vacation. But a cruise is a good way to hit all those spots.

Ok whatever😂

Rick--yes we did. I do not wish to discuss it further.

Hate to hear that as I offered contact info for the outstanding tour guide for just the two of us. Did you even get off the ship?

Rick--sore subject. Princess shore excursion sucked. Used credits, so didn't spend our money, but very disappointing.

Did you make it up the cliff to your Santorini?

Thanks for the tip. Is there any bars/restaurant on Canouan, Union Island and Mayreau?

There are so many to choose from... I'll start with

Carriacou: Anse la Roche and Tim's Bar/Restaurant ashore. There's a path up the hill behind the huts that is a nice walk (you can take a detour to find some ruins and cannon) to a dirt road, which can extend the hike to go around to the northern end of the island.

We're back home. Great trip, although very busy.

We will be chartering and cruising from St.Lucia through to Grenada. (Bequia, Mustique, Union Island, St. Vincent, Petite Martinique). Any beach bars and restaurants that we should not miss? Any good hikes you could recommend? We will be cruising with people who will want to get off the boat. Thanks.

Beautiful photos and great report. Reading it made me breathe easier...... like I was there. The bahamian waters are unlike anywhere else.

Nice trip. The best provisioning is Grenada, but that'll be a little late for you! Stock up as much as you can in St Lucia, then if you get to the southern tip of St Vincent, around Blue Lagoon. There are charter bases there so you'll be able to get advice once you arrive. After that, you are getting limited. Bequia and Union are good for top ups. I've made the trip many times but not recently. Hopefully Zanshin will be along to give you more up to date info.

I don't think this particular forum gets much traffic anymore. Southern Caribbean or BVI will likely get you more responses.

Hello, we are chartering a Moorings powerboat from St. Lucia and plan to cruise to Grenada. We are experienced cruisers, but this is our first charter.
Do you have any advice for us? Provisioning advise? anchorage advice? Grocery availability through the Grenadines?

Went to Pompeii yesterday. Amazing experience! Day at sea today, which is very welcome, to relax a bit.

We're onboard, went to Pompeii today. Amazing, again.

Great news, tomorrow is a day at sea!

Civitavecchia, have fun

Nice. Have fun Carol.

Saw Trevi Fountain this morning. Transfer to the port in a few minutes.

7 day cruise from Rome. Should be fun!!

I mostly like to use public transport whenever possible.

Just returned yesterday from Punta Cana. We were at an adult only all inclusive. ( Royalton Chic Punta Cana) You can’t beat the price? We travel the Caribbean often. The DR is booming. We paid nearly 1/2 of what we spent in Cancun last year. People are friendly and they love the tourism boom. Go save your $$

Lovely report Eva. Thanks for posting. Never got to the Bahamas during my time in the Caribbean. Always intended to go but just never happened.

Back from Cat Island, Bahamas, having stayed at Fernandez Bay Village. Here is my trip report: Cat Island 2026

Rosemary--thanks, although it was so long ago, I don't remember it! LOL! It comes with getting old!!
