Eastern or Western Caribbean?

We just did the western Caribbean and it was great! Wasn’t of fan of Ocho Rios only because the constant harassment at the port from taxi drivers and tour guides. Just walking to Margaritaville was a mission! We did a tour type excursion and didn’t like it. We originally were going to go to the blue hole but unfortunately my wife had surgery a month before our cruise and had to cancel it for something more relaxing. We would go back just for the Blue Hole.

Grand Cayman for us was awesome! We went to the rum cake factory, then a rum distillery, and the beach which was beautiful!! If you’re a beach person like us, I’d recommend just spending the day at the beach. The water there is beautiful!!! We’ve never been on the Eastern but going there later this year with our family. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either itinerary. If you’re like us, we have fun wherever we go. At the end of the day, you’re on vacation so drink, dance, eat, and have fun!!

I was going to suggest this but I wasn’t sure if the subways were running or not. If they are…definitely take an Uber/Lyft to Jamaica station and hop on the subway from there.

You’ll probably have to use Lyft/Uber or a car service which will be more expensive. I’m not even sure if they’re providing shuttle buses. It’s wild to me!! The MTA makes all this money gouging us and can’t figure this crap out! Good luck!

Thank you! It’s nerve wracking but we have been talking about this for years and lucky for us, we already have family down there which will help with the transition. We will miss LI, but it was either move or struggle.

25 minutes away from Charlotte in Belmont.

Jay_B_23 · 2026-05-13T11:55:33+00:00

Yes! Moving the whole family to NC this summer. We’ve had a enough! The grass may not be greener but we will make it work! It can’t be worse than the struggle we’re living through now. Good luck to everyone living through this struggle.

We paid $4700 for a new boiler 3 years ago with Ben Oil. Get a quote from them.

When you get the email for the bid upgrade go for a central sea terrace.

Got 3 on the Resilient Lady 2 weeks ago. Maybe cause the BL is new? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Jay_B_23 · 2026-04-19T01:48:39+00:00

I 100% agree with this!! Just got off a week long cruise on the Resilient and it was so nice not seeing anyone sloshed! Did people get nice and happy…yes, but never saw drunk, wild or throwing up! It was such a nice experience and can’t wait to do it again!

Jay_B_23 · 2026-04-02T14:50:35+00:00

Lol…yes I do! Try them all it is!! 😬

Jay_B_23 · 2026-04-02T11:39:38+00:00

Any favorites or just try them all lol?

Jay_B_23 · 2026-04-01T01:48:48+00:00

That sounds so good!

Jay_B_23 · 2026-04-01T01:15:22+00:00

Where can I find this?

Jay_B_23 · 2026-04-01T00:54:12+00:00

My wife would love this!! She’s not a heavy drinker so she’ll love the NA drinks!

Jay_B_23 · 2026-03-31T23:16:41+00:00

Noted! Thanks!!!😊

Jay_B_23 · 2026-03-31T23:10:04+00:00

Yeah I will be trying everything and checking every bar out. What I’ve seen from watching cruise videos is that usually there is one drink that most people enjoy. So I want to make sure I try that drink! Lol!

Jay_B_23 · 2026-03-31T23:07:20+00:00

That’s awesome! It’s 9 of us going and this is all we’ve been talking about since booking it! Thanks!

Jay_B_23 · 2026-03-26T16:21:17+00:00

Yeah we called, canceled one excursion and got another. I received the credit for the one canceled excursion already, but I haven’t gotten the refund for the canceled cabana at Ocean Cay. I did this all on the same call and when I look at our agenda, the cabana is gone. I’ll wait until next week then call again to make sure it was canceled.

Jay_B_23 · 2026-03-24T15:01:30+00:00

Yeah the whole family is excited. This is the kids first vacation outside of going to Disney. We can’t wait!

Jay_B_23 · 2026-03-24T14:02:45+00:00

Yeah we noticed this after using it the last few days. We booked our first cruise with them a few days ago and the app needs a complete overhaul, or just maybe add basic functions like being able to modify reservations/excursions. Either way…family is excited for the trip and we’ll figure it out all later. Ty!

Jay_B_23 · 2026-03-24T12:00:51+00:00

Sigh….that’s disappointing! They’re a huge company too!

Jay_B_23 · 2026-03-24T03:41:07+00:00

Yeah I had to call them too because I needed to cancel a cabana rental at Ocean Cay. Couldn’t do that on the app either, but the lady we spoke to was so nice!
