The first one has the same tour guide. He stayed with us the whole time. We just jumped ahead to take video without a large group of people in the way. He’s the one that told us about the nutmeg in the first garden and was talking to us in front of the buses. If you take this excursion, he will be able to tell you all of the different flower types!

Yes, the taxis will be there at Magen‘s Bay to take you back. When we were done, we just walked over and hopped on one. I don’t remember the exact length of the trip but I believe it was about 15-20 minutes.

We are so glad it helped!

😂

We hope so too! It can be stressful when things change last minute. Just be prepared with plenty of patience and know that once that part is over, you’ll have tons of fun!

We didn’t have any issues. In our opinion, the lower decks and mid or aft have the least amount of movement.

@@ThereToHereTravels I just booked one today for my cruise in Feb ‘25 😊

Awesome! You won’t regret it!

It was May 😊

@ThereToHereTravels thanks a lot!

@@binaldoshi495 you’re welcome! Have an amazing time! I know you will!

We like a variety of cruise lines for different reasons. Nobody has better piano bar and trivia than Carnival!

You won’t regret it! Have an amazing time!!

I edit the videos after. If there’s anything notable to mention, I try to include it afterward. We really enjoyed this cabin!

Normally we do, but we forgot to on this trip. There were so many ports and we didn’t have a lot of planning time. Great tip to share though!

If I remember correctly, yes it is!

😂😂😂 please let us know if it’s still there 😂😂😂

That’s amazing! Happy anniversary and enjoy your cruise!!!

Cheers! 🍻

Wish we could have seen it then!

That’s awesome! We picked up our rental car right at the port when we got off of the ship. It was exactly 8:30 AM. We dropped off the car at 4 pm. Our adventure would have taken less time if we did a few less pullover stops for photos, or a little less time at Caribou Crossing. Since our ship was in port longer, we took our time. Every turn had a new beautiful view that we had to stop and take pictures of! Let us know if you have any other questions! We are happy to help!

Yes! They are so good!!

Thank you so much! ❤

Excursions are great options too! This particular trip was an 11 day sailing and we had a lot of ports. We decided to skip excursions on the ports that were walkable. This port/city definitely has walkability for those interested!

I’m sorry, I don’t remember. If they have gluten free options in the Dive In, then you would be able to order them!

Yes it was. We booked it directly from Holland America for a Koningsdam sailing.

That’s amazing! We love the pinnacle class ships also! Thank you for watching!

Thanks!!

Thank you so much for your comment! We love getting messages like this! You’re going to have an amazing time!❤

Thanks for watching! Have a great time!

Hope you enjoy it!

That’s what we add the chapters for. So you can skip to the parts you’re interested in 😉

It was! We loved him!!!!

It was very spacious and comfortable. It has granite counter with stainless steel appliances. And at least the are white comforters instead of old outdated floral print covers & curtains 😂. It’s not the most modern, but was very comfortable for a week stay and we’d be willing to stay there again.

We really enjoy the interior cabins! We don’t spend much time in there as it is. We like how dark it gets when we want to take a nap. Have a wonderful cruise!

We were in port from 7:30 AM to 8 PM. We took our time getting off the ship though and got to our rental car at 9:30 in the morning. We dropped it off at 4:45. We also took a lot of extra time pulling over and taking photos. It can be done quicker if needed!

The gentleman we spoke with, said that he purchased the land along time ago, and it was just brush back then. He cut it all back and did all of the planting himself.

@@ThereToHereTravels Unless the man you spoke to is one of Brisbane's relatives, he's not being honest. He may have bought more lands and expanded it, but Montreal Gardens was always a beautiful place. I had a friend who owned a restaurant in Kingstown, and most Saturdays we would drive out to Montreal to buy flowers for her restaurant...they used to grow the most beautiful Anthurian (sp)Lilies. My Brisbane also supplied the banks and other businesses with weekly flowers.

I can’t watch footage right now because we’re on a cruise, but I believe he said he made it in the 70s. Maybe it was earlier. Does that sound right? I can double check and get back to you after we return next week. He might even mention it when he’s speaking around the 12:30 minute mark of the video. It won’t play because our internet isn’t that good here.

@@ThereToHereTravels No, I left SVG in the 80's and that Garden was already a destination for beauty and tranquility for a lot of people, and it was well maintained. IIRC, there was even a small river running through it. So unless the man you spoke to is Mr. Brisbane...and I can't imagine he is still alive...then he's not telling the truth. I will ask one of my friends in SVG if he is still alive, and if he is, God Bless him because he would be in his 90's now and still getting around. That would be the only thing that makes sense, or one of his children or family member is running it. If you could find out the gentleman's name that would be awesome. Enjoy your cruise...I'm sure the weather is beautiful as usual...and HOT, lol.

@@dianad1968 thank you!!

Around the third week of May.

I’m sorry, I don’t know that information. Sorry, we can’t help! Thank you for watching!

@@ThereToHereTravels no problem thank you

@@jeannaelawrence1532 you’re welcome!

Thank you!

It made sense after we did it, but I didn't know at the time. Now we do! Thanks!!

It's the only sailaway party I've been to where they give away a bunch of free stuff! We had fun!

Sounds fun!
