Comments for Cruise ship season starts..... at http://webcamgrenada.com , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://webcamgrenada.com Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:25:22 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://webcamgrenada.com/content/view/78/1/#comment-47 I'd never do one of these floating hotels. Just not my style. I agree with moving the floating jetty or at least make a nice sign to attract shoppers. But I suspect most tourists buy stuff in the ship's gift shop versus spending their money locally. For the European Biker...i would not recommend biking in Grenada. Carriacou perhaps but you would have to have a death wish to bike the main roads in Grenada! That is something else that could be improved: wider roads with bike lanes. Maybe in 50 years. - brewa Wed, 28 Nov 2007 13:15:50 +0100 http://webcamgrenada.com/content/view/78/1/#comment-46 You describe the American way of travelling - not the European. We don´t need a car - only a bike. Rent a bike and meet the people near the road. It´s to fast with a car. I like to tell people I´m an old European biker. - Guantanamera Tue, 27 Nov 2007 13:57:47 +0100 http://webcamgrenada.com/content/view/78/1/#comment-45 May I add my two cents to this please? From my own experience traveling to many Caribbean islands in the past 17 years, the reason cruise ship travelers book a cruise to begin with is the fact that they like to have everything arranged for them and in most cases are actually afraid to venture out on their own. It's the same with people who stay in all-inclusive resorts.(I call them fancy jails) We( my husband and I) have been asked numerous times after talking about our adventures: aren't you afraid to do that? Do what? Rent a car and explore a new destination, see the whole island if possible, eat at local little restaurants and meet the lovely residents? One of my favorite things is to shop at the local markets and talk with people, find out what their lives are like, etc. It's always bothered me when I hear people say, oh yes, I was on a cruise and went to Grenada. No, you did not, you merely stopped for a few hours, maybe soaked up some sun, bought a t-shirt, but you did NOT see Grenada. Or any other island... I like to tell people I'm a traveler, not a tourist :) - Doris Fri, 23 Nov 2007 21:34:28 +0100
