Thanks to both of you. I have been using that avatar for years on some other boards I frequent....LOVE THE WATER.
ok - maybe someone can help me out. We have been land lovers for our last 2 vacations and yesterday booked a quick 4 night getaway on a ship before we start work up again here in NY at the end of April (I am a highway construction worker).

We dock in Calica at 1pm until 10pm

I have contacted Edventure Tours and this is what I am interested in for around 6-11 of us.

Turtle Bay - I rescue turtles and would love to see/swim with some in the wild
Monkeys???
Beach Bar with reasonable and delish food & drink

Do any AI's offer a day/night pass?

From the reading I have just done of bars and restaurants it seems that 5th Ave area is the place to be - but after 9 days at an AI - I want to do a few other things and THEN DRINK

I think one of the couples traveling with us was interested in booking a beach break excursion with the ship for around $50 PP - but I never book with resorts or ships and prefer to find our own tours/guides etc.....

Would we be able to catch a cab from the port to the one bar I read about that is built into a cavern/cave?

Where is the bar La Buena Vida? I have read reviews and seen pics of it on other places and looks like a blast - but not sure if it is on the water?
thanks and sorry if so many questions - I am sure there will be more to come
