:huh:

We want to go sailing when we land in Tortola and wondered if anyone has used a specific group ---would like to get a group together of about 8 people....

We will be on the Zuiderdam Oct.15 sailing...

PLEASE advise if you know of a GREAT sailing firm or a TERRIFIC Guide to the island...

Thanks!

Hi Andy, Try checking Shoretrips.com I have booked with them myself for this Dec. and this board gives them high marks. They have an easy site to navigate and you should find excursions that are less $$ than the ship offers. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Hello,

Welcome again ANDY,,,,,

I am interested to hear of your yachting tale....

Hey Andy,

When we Visited in November of 04 on the Oosterdam we did the open vehicle island tour, which we thought was excellent, it provided you with an opportunity to visit a local beach to swim or frolic at the ocean side.. along with a nice tour highlights of the island.

I believe it was like $29 or 39 a person , but we thought it was well worth it.IOHO

Your gonna fall in love with BVI

We used Hal..... We Purchased Directly with them before we sailed... the excursion coupons were in our stateroom when we boarded.

Anything else I can help you with ..let me know

have you ever taken a HAL cruise and done a rear balcony cabin...

Specifically 7131....Were there lounge chairs on it or did you have to tip cabin steward to bring one down???

Thinking about this one....

Help===it's that or a cabin on Navigation deck..

Our last experience with HAL was The Oosterdam and we had a SS stateroom, Our Verandah was equipped with a table and lounge chairs. We did not get an Aft Cabin on that cruise we were mid ship, however if you get a chance for a true Aft Cabin I hear they are exceptional.

We have an Aft Cabin on Celebrities Millennium for The Mediterranean, in 06
