Thank you! I am sure that many people will question the date, so it is good to have your explanation!
I meant to add a question mark after handover. LOL
I think this is a reliable source, but not from the 'horse's mouth' so to speak.
Thanks for all you do!

Paul is supposed to be leaving Grandeur Oct 26.
There is an Oct 22 sailing (slight handover) and then Oct 31.

There was a post on a different site stating that "Bobby" will be taking over on Grandeur in November. "Bobby" is a new CD.
I was hesitant to post this information since specifics are lacking, but w/ all the vast knowledge on this board, someone may know who "Bobby" is.
I am trying to nail down an exact handover date. Stay tuned!

There are a couple of other things for visitors to be cognizant of when planning a trip to Water Island. They are not usually a show stoppers but are things to be aware of. Transportation to Water Island is via the Water Island Ferry. It is NOT a water taxi that goes on demand; the ferry has scheduled departure times. Also the ferry is a much smaller boat than most visitors expect (nothing like the St. John Ferry). The Water Island Ferry carries only 25 passengers. During holidays, “high” season, or when there are two ships in Crown Bay the ferry will almost certainly be filled to capacity on its scheduled runs. Be prepared for possible wait times on both sides of the harbor. When heading to Water Island, waiting for the next run is merely an annoying inconvenience which wastes up to an hour; on the way back from Water Island DON’T assume you will be able to get on the last ferry before your "back on board" time. Allow a little extra time because nearly everyone heads back to the ship at approximately the same time and the ferry may be filled. Hope this information helps you to have a pleasant day in St. Thomas. :)
Thanks.

Thank you Ms411.
Can you estimate the walk from the dock to the ferry?
Snorkeling not a consideration... just looking for rest and relaxation while swimming in the blue water... Coki or Water Island?
-
I am debating between heading to Water Island or Coki beach for the day in port.
I can't seem to locate clear information. We will be docking at Crown Bay. Only ship in port (currently). Is the water taxi in the same 'location' as the dock for the cruise in Crown Bay? Easy to navigate? (well marked?).
Would anyone advise not going to Water Island?
TIA!

Exactly! Mine is a 9-day cruise so the difference is $75.60! Do you remember what the average price is nowadays for a virgin drink? Maybe I can skip the first couple of days and then buy the package a few days in and save some $?
$4.50+grats last year on liberty

You could put one near the cupcake shop or coffee place to cover the cost of a tasty treat.

Not that this will help this particular poster, but for others who are reading this, it's not accurate info.
Some cruises on Oasis (no other ships reported yet) are being given the opportunuity to use OBC pre-cruise.
Any word if this will be rolled out to all sailings and all ships?
-
Maybe I missed it, but when are you sailing?
-
Frozen toasted almond, frozen mudslide.
-
Aren't frozen cocktails up above that limit now?
$10...11.80 w/ grat in April
-
Oh so this explains...around 3 weeks ago the beverage packages for my March 31 sailing all disappeared and got the not available yet message, they had been there previously and I had decided to wait...damn
I'm sailing next sat on harmony with pre paid premium so interested to see how that one pans out
Please report back.

We will be in Barbados in February and would also love to swim with turtles. We were there a few years ago, and although the catamaran was fun, we were taken to a place where there were many other boats, and hundreds were looking at 2 turtles. Would love to avoid that next time, so I would love others advice. Thank you.😊
I just booked the Thriller Ocean Tour one that was previously mentioned. Will be going Nov 6 if you want to wait and Ill provide feedback. But based on all I read on Trip Advisor (only 91 5 star reviews LOL) I think it will be amazing.
Limited to about 12 people. $70/adult $40/kid 12 and under. I'm in port 10-7p Pickup is 1130a at the dock. Excursion starts at 12p. 3 1/2 hours long. 3 snorkel stops and beach break. Drinks and snack included.
-
I just had an awesome experience snorkeling with Thriller Ocean Tours. Only 12-15 people on board, owner operated, all equipment provided and a full day of snorkeling! And giant turtles :)
Best tour I have ever been on!
Will you provide details... cost, pick up/drop off, etc.
Thanks :)

The weekend getaway (3 night) on Anthem in March did not have entertainment bookings until the 60 day mark.
While you may not agree w previous poster about what shows to have, it is the reason.

Hi Donna Paul is on until end of October
Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app
Did Paul give you a date by chance? Sailing 10/31 and not sure if that means that will be his last or will have someone new...
-
I totally agree with Donna. One of the best I have had the pleasure of sailing with!

A roomette is certainly more comfortable, and cheaper on the Silver Star than on the Silver Meteor, since the Star doesn't have a full dining car. There is no way to lock the roomette from the outside (only from the inside), but I've never had anything go missing. If you have anything really valuable, I suggest locking it in a suitcase and attaching the suitcase to something with a cable lock (also very handy if you're traveling by train in Europe and have to store your case out of sight on a coach trip during the day).
There's a baggage car on both trains for checked baggage; you just need to board the train at a station where they will accept it. Otherwise, it goes in the room with you.
I love flying, but I also like the train trip and find it relaxing.
Thank you for all your insight!
