Posted by Neil in cruise ship

The cruise ship season has started again, and that means that on some days the city, sights and the beach will be a little crowded. Unlike many other islands, we usually don't have more than 2 ships in at the same time, but sometimes it can get a little busy when 3 or more ships call at the port, which rarely happens. The schedule for Grenada, is listed here.

In this blog, we will give some tips to both cruise ship passengers and overnight visitors alike, on how to avoid the crowds and enjoy what Grenada has to offer.

Cruise ship season starts.....

Posted by Neil in cruise ship

ImageTourism in Grenada is a major industry, and the tourist dollars are very important to our island. Like the government slogan says "tourism is everyone's business".

Every couple of days we have at least one cruise ship in port and sometimes up to three. We have noticed a few quirks, over the years..you tend to, if you go people watching.....

For instance, Moni worked for a couple years as a rainforest hiking guide for the german cuise ships, and was always amazed how some tourists came dressed to go hiking.

I mean really!! High heels, fully made up, wrong type of clothing. You would think that they don't expect to get muddy and sweaty, much less soaked by a passing shower of rain, especially as the tours started in the rainy season. After doing this for so many years, her biggest wish was to get a t-shirt which said 'I am not a tourist'!...
