While there we also took a walk down to the black sand Shipwreck Beach which has a bar/restaurant and some chairs too if you prefer to go there. Carambola has website where you can make reservations in advance, which we had done. Even had towels on seats and on floor in case we were wet.


We set up a time with Dawson and he came back to the beach to pick us up. There was sanitation supplies in car too.

Our cab driver, Dawson Ramsey was great! He explained that they had to do special training, be fully vaccinated, the vehicle had plastic covering all seats and there was a plastic divider between driver and back seats. They can be pretty aggressive on this island getting customers (in my opinion). One guy started calling after us very hard and the officer told him to calm it down. There was an officer near the cabbies keeping them "in line". Island #2 - St Kitts: We took a taxi to Caraboloa for $28/each way (set price). Island #1 - St Croix: We took $5/pp/each way cab to Rainbow Beach by Rhythms beach bar. Regarding the sailing we heard there was about 1600 passengers, so only about 55% capacity and crew was either at 70-80% capacity (I forget what they told me). The government approved tours seem to be "tour bubbles" to allow tourism back and seem to follow certain protocols. We found out that government approved tours does include just a taxi to a beach, which was great for us because that is what we typically do. Three of our islands more strict and were told must take Celebrity Excursions if want to leave ship however could do government approved tour if want to leave port. We had to mask as exit ship and through terminal, sometimes until got to destination. Celebrity gave sheet upon arrival listing "rules" but can change weekly, so best to keep watching boards or reading up as things progress. Basically islands just coming out of Covid restrictions and needed to follow whatever rules they had in place. So I thought I'd include a few notes in case they'd be helpful to others. Typically go very researched and know exactly what we will be doing on each island, but with Covid there hadn't been a lot of good information online before out trip, even on these boards. Just returned late last night (after an very long drive!) after our 12-day Southern Caribbean cruise. Brief review of Celebrity Equinox sailing:
