Weezer72

Thanks for all the info;) We are looking at the Hilton for a one night pre-cruise stay/park in May 2018. Can you please confirm how exactly the shuttle service works pre/post cruise? Do you set up the times when you check in? Is it private or with other guests? How does the pick up from the port back to the hotel work?

Thanks in advance for you help!!

Welcome to the cruise critic family Weezer72! :)

 

Yes, Smuggler's Cove is a gorgeous beach. There have been no amenities there save a portapotty but one poster reported Nigel had returned with his grill and drinks. You will definitely want your taxi driver to return for you as Smuggler's is a bit secluded and no taxis will come there to pick you up otherwise.

If you want something "easier" Brewers Bay has a beach bar and lounge rentals and is also a nice beach and it's a regular stop for taxis. $8pp each way to BB, $12pp for SC...

 

Enjoy Tortola! ;)

Thanks so much

We are really excited and are looking forward to spend some quality time on a beautiful beach!!!

....what beach did you and your family end up choosing? My extended family of 9 (8 -70 years)will be travelling to Tortola during our April 16th Norwegian Escape cruise as well and I have been pondering the same thing!!! Based on multiple reviews we are leaning towards Smuggler's. Just worried that our time may be limited since our sail away time is 3:00pm
