Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. You are welcome! Unfortunately many sites still have the pre-Irma/Maria hurricane schedules posted. Interisland used to do it multiple times a day. Aquatic Rentals ferry goes from WE to St John then to Red Hook daily at 9am, 11 and 3pm but it doesn’t stop in St John on the way back in to the BVI and you won’t have a ride back. The ferry from red hook to Cruz bay RT is a great plan and enjoy your stay!
  2. Currently there is no ferry from StJ back to west end or Road Town Tortola and the only ones that stop in StJ to clear customs into the USVI from the BVI are those bound for Red Hook. Just keep an eye on schedules and have a plan B. We have a place in the BVI and use the ferries often.
  3. Grey goose/ soda and grey goose martinis …no charge. That is what is drink/drank 90% of the time.
  4. I use Insubuy.com to search various providers. You can filter for CFAR on their site. You probably already know but CFAR policies typically require you to buy within 14-21 days of your first deposit of the trip you are insuring.
  5. Cannot use OBC in advance. But you can book it now, cancel on board and rebook immediately using OBC.
  6. We did this tours a few weeks ago. It’s with Marc’s Huahine Nautique https://www.huahinenautique.com
  7. Thank you! Yea just a “temporary” visitor left me feeling icky. We’d definitely do the mantas again in Bora Bora; they were magical! Also saw some crown of thorns out there in Bora bora too. 😞 We had a trip on Silversea planned for our honeymoon but decided we want to come back to PG instead as we enjoyed it so much. Did you do the Canyons, Gallery and/or Ledges on Moorea?
  8. @sjkoen Beautiful!!! Did you do the manta dive on Bora Bora? That was our fave and because I got sick and called off our Moorea dive, was sadly our only dive day 😞 Looking for a re-do! Oh no so sorry to hear about your camera! Glad you were able to salvage some pics from the card at least. That happened to us in St Lucia at the mud baths…the latch came open just a tiny bit and mud got inside of the camera. No please don’t shut up 🙂 this is all such amazing info! We did look at the flights from PPT to Raro and right now they’re only one day a week RT (Sundays). I wish we could do a week on Cooks…sigh… A private lagoon tour is right up our alley! Will have a look at your recommendation!
  9. @sjkoen thanks so much! Hopefully you were able to get some good diving in! my fiancee is stuck on the notion of doing the Cooks and it will be our honeymoon Sept 2024. Those Bali itineraries sound so wonderful too and wish we could take more time off of work for one of them. How was the lagoon there in Aitutaki? It looks amazing in pics! I wonder if we maybe just try and dive in Raro (plan with outside operator) and enjoy a lagoon tour in Aitutaki.
  10. Welcome back! You did the 11-day cooks right? Do you have the dive info sheet by chance or can tell me the sites? We are looking at the 11-night for Sept 2024 🙂
  11. We had the biz class seats and it’s was a delight. My fiancée never sleeps on a plane and he slept well. Don’t get the first 3 rows…a lot of the overhead bin space was being used for crew stuff and pillows/blankets. In SFO you board and deplane in the middle behind row 8/middle galley. In PPT they have the middle/front doors open. We had row 7 there and 3 back. I’d pick rows 5-7 both ways next time. 5 and 7 is a pair that is close together if there is two of you. We stayed at the Hilton for one night pre cruise and really enjoyed it. Food was good and a got a solid nights sleep. Had a lot of fun at the grocery store across the street and there is a small Tiki Tiare outlet there we also walked to up the street with the oils, lotions and soaps.
  12. I’d be confident in doing it again. The GE people were zipping through! There was a verrrrrrry long line off to the right as we were approaching and my heart just sank. As the overhead signs came into sight, turns out it was the foreign visitors line and not ours. You’ll likely land at a G terminal gate and we got through everything and over to F easily. Killed an hour in the Amex lounge before our flight home started boarding. The United bag recheck was super easy (and maybe the other airlines have it too) but as you exit CBP, you go towards the United bag recheck just about 100 yards away with 4 walk up lanes. They just scan your existing bag tag with a hand scanner as you walk up, they direct you to drop it off in a roped off section and you’re on your way.

  14. Hello, Fresh off of our first PG cruise. I sent copies of the drink menu to a friend and thought I’d post them here too. Also the Connoisseur wine list that I downloaded from the QR code on board. In the afternoon I really enjoyed an iced cappuccino with Baileys or Gran Mariner. You can also call your liquor on the drinks (e.g. grey goose martini). My fiancée got Don Julio in some of his Paloma’s and margaritas for $6 and they had pours of Blantons for $5. Included wines rotated each night; we were generally happy with what was on offer and didn’t buy wine. House champagne was Charles Heisdick.
