barbsie8 Posted November 22, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I had no idea that there was a fire! What happens on the tour? We are taking Godfrey's tour the beginning of January. Are we still able to go to the top? I wouldn't want to miss out on that amazing view (and yummy banana dacquiri!) Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted November 22, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The view is still there, the building and banana daiquiri's aren't. Someone reported it here right after it happened and I was able to find a news story at that time, but I can't remember if there was any info about what happened. You can always go to Paradise Point and have a Bushwhacker instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms411 Posted November 22, 2009 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2009 They moved the banana daiquiri to St Peter Mountain Great House, and most of the tours now go there instead. Beautiful view, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinDon Posted November 23, 2009 #9 Share Posted November 23, 2009 We did the Sunny Liston tour last month, and, as previous poster said, the tours are now going to Peter the Great House. The views are every bit as beautiful, and there is a little botanical area to walk through, and a gift shop. We had a Banana Daquiri and a Bushwacker that we shared. Pricey, but good!

awaldo Posted January 24, 2010 #13 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Any recent updates on plans for Mountaintop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted January 24, 2010 #14 Share Posted January 24, 2010 So when you get off the ship are there open air taxis that go to St. Peter Mountain Great House and take you back to the ship like they used to do for Mountain Top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted January 24, 2010 #15 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Yes, Ocean Boy, but you have to specifically ask if they're going to The Greathouse. Not sure if 100% of them do, but most do as of now. Never know when things will change though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted January 24, 2010 #16 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks. We have been to St. Thomas many times so this would be something different to do this time. We have enjoyed the open air taxi rides in the past so I think that will be the plan for the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nannerz Posted August 26, 2010 #23 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have yet to see ANY work being done on Mountaintop. I live near Magen's Bay. St. Pete's Greathouse is a good alternative, still has wonderful views and the same famous banana daquiri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nannerz Posted August 26, 2010 #24 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Maybe I was wrong. They must have restarted the project recently. From Papa Bear's website. http://havefunwithus.net/mountain_top.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
