They have a cool spice market that is neat to walk around, kinda like a flea market.

I am glad to know this for I have seen 2 itinerary showing conflicting reports. When I booked this cruise for Jan 04 I booked it with the intention of going to Grenada. It is the "spice Island," the people are friendly. It is unspoiled and one of my favorites. Great beaches. St. Lucia is very different. It is lush, tropical, but lacks nice beaches.

Hi Diann:
I'm thrilled!
This is going to be our first time. I'm taking my two boys (16&18). Actually don't have any desire cruising as I love going to Europe in fact that's where my husband and brother right now (spain/portugal)on an escorted tour.
Before my son goes to college I would like him to experience and see the caribbean as he is a beach bum and both of them hates being on escorted tour.
Who are you traveling with? We are going to be arriving a day early -flying from Dulles Washington.
My TA received a fax from Celebrity of the port change and she informed me immediately - yes there were 2 conflicting itineraries to begin with.
talk to you soon.

enjoylife99-I am traveling with my husband and there will be 2 other couples going with us. We are leaving out of Philadelphia. We are all early 50's. We have done the Caribbean cruises one last year, on RCCL, and one on Carnival several years ago. The Southern Caribbean is my favorite with the best Islands. I think your teens' will find the water awesome if they have never been and they love the beach!! Especially during the time frame we are going. I hope you and your teens enjoy this cruise. By the way all of us woman have blond hair and all three of our husbands are "light" on the hair!! This is my clue to you. I hope we meet up to say Hello. Which hotel are you staying at when you arrive a day early? There is one across the street from the docks it is a Wyndham.

Ok I'll be the fat one!
I don't know which hotel yet, I am still searching/bidding thru Priceline.
Surely we will be able to come up with something how to exchange hellos as the day draws near.
