We pack the soda in our wheeled carry on and take an empty large size bag for the items displaced for the soda.  Works out well.

I hate the fact that when you renew early you lose a LOT of remaining time.  We renew 6 months prior to expiry so that's six months wasted.  They should be like NEXUS and give you the full period.

@milolii  We stayed overnight at Premier Inn in Southampton and found a Poundland close by.  Their prices for canned soda was excellent and they even allowed us to use the wheeled buggy to take our 24 cans across the road to the hotel!  As per Princess policy; you MUST carry them onboard, can't go in checked luggage which is what the porters handle.

We renewed early to avoid the price increase.  Was pleased to see the expiry date remained our birthdays which is NOT the case if you renew your passport early.  Since we usually renew our passports 6 months in advance you lose a lot of time.

I do not but that is a GREAT deal.  Last year they were offering this with a $200. cap.

@Sugar2u  Lots of information in the Port of Call/Caribbean/Tortola board.

That's not been my experience when there's a drop in EZAIR price. 

It's the airline that reduced the price due to a sale, not EZAir.

Same request at 4am on our Caribbean Princess cruise.

I left mine on the table after one sip. 🔥

I like spicy but that was just 🔥.  Same with hot sauces; some are just too hot to enjoy.

You might to bring some larger clothes. The pieces of cake will fee 4-5 people

A couple on our last cruise ordered one piece of cake every day and shared it.  They were quite happy with it.

I see no reason why a passenger wouldn't order a specialty ice cream dessert and then later the specialty cake dessert from I.C.  We'll have the package in March and I fully intend having ONE ice cream dessert for the "photo" but intend trying the cakes over the 20 days.

There were 2 on the shelf of our mini suite on the Caribbean Princess in May.  I used them for laundry.

We applied for NEXUS renewal August 15th.  My husband received his approval letter today!!!!

@ninan

Do you mind me asking the name of the eye drops?  My husband's eye drops have NO restrictions, mine need to be refrigerated UNTIL opened.  So many different scenarios.

A couple on our May Caribbean Princess cruise from Southampton bid on an upgrade and were given the mini-suite as far forward as it was possible to go.  The motion was terrible, they didn't sleep for 4 nights, and they had a LONG way to go to their assigned dining room which was as far aft as you could go!

If you do write to corporate, please don’t mention he is ‘homely’, as that has a different meaning in the US. 
Maybe just say he was wonderful. 
 

I raised my eyebrows at the comment too.  I remember how insulted I was as a 16 year old visiting relatives in Northern Ireland when my aunt said how homely I was.  She was mortified when I told her in Canada it meant plain/unattractive. She meant how friendly I was.  😂

Have to be a fan of the spicy. Do you like Sriracha?

Not a fan really.

I always ask for MILD when I order the Strawberries on Fire.

Once was enough for me!  😂. I’ve never been a drinker.  Many years ago I ordered a vodka and o.j.  Second drink I asked for 1/2 shot of vodka.  Still too strong so I asked for 1/4 shot.  The bartender smiled and asked “why not just order an o.j.”.  🤣

The Strawberries on Fire was SO HOT, we couldn't drink it!  😂

We're booked on Enchanted 20 night in March and Tortola is the ONLY island we're interested in.  Sure hope they don't cancel our day there or we won't be getting off the ship for the entire cruise.

Yes I’ve shared the revised taxi fares in other threads, for others following this keep in mind these are cruise port fares only.

I don’t understand why no reply from Arnold as he has many loyal repeat guests, both cruisers and landlubbers….I hope they are all ok…
But I also don’t understand why you never called before posting?

It's not worth the long distance charges!  Also, if a company doesn't respond to requests, it's not up to potential customers to chase them down.  It's also not inappropriate to post my experience without calling BEFORE I post.  Since you are so concerned, maybe YOU could give them a call.  😂

Thanks... I've tried to contact AC Taxi by Text and email, but I haven't received a reply. Do you have any other tour operator suggestions?  

We had the same problem so their lack of response doesn't instill confidence in the company.  We're going to arrange something on arrival.  Here is a link for the government regulated taxi rates:  https://bvi.gov.vg/sites/default/files/si_no_106_of_2022-road_traffic_passenger_fares_amendment_regulations_2022_1.pdf

Been on all three and would not hesitate to book any of them again.  That being said, Sky is our favourite.  Found the mini-suite on Caribbean had a very "old world elegant" feel.

I contacted AC's Taxi and now, months later and a follow up email, no response.  Looking at the official taxi rates we're just going to get a taxi at the pier and do our own thing.  Like you, we want scenery with photo stops so this seems like the best option.  https://bvi.gov.vg/sites/default/files/si_no_106_of_2022-road_traffic_passenger_fares_amendment_regulations_2022_1.pdf
