After one week our cruise ship returned to Pointe-au-Pitre. They wanted us to empty the cabin already at 8 am but Pole-Pole! we paid the money and we are on the vacations… The service on this big ship is only so-so, but they charged from us full amount of suggested tips for the crew – 12 euro per night.
I booked well in advance via the booking.com the room in Pointe-au-Pitre. We were walking from the port about 20 m8nutes to find the place – rather ugly house with Chinese restaurant downstairs. But the door was closed. After several phone calls and e-mails the owner called me informing that she is no longer in booking.com. But the reservation was active and paid! I contacted Booking.com and they found for me another room close to the port. They promised to pay the price difference. But we were waiting 3,5 hours in the heat of 29 deg for their decision… Shame…
After lunch and some relax I book a taxi to the airport (some 30 euro) for my son and grandsons. Time to say goodbye… Kids must go back to the school! I hope they will keep this exotic cruise among their best memories…
