Beth & Rob Posted March 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I know that is is not allowed to solicit, however I think I am able to ask.... If not, this will be deleted... but I am having trouble finding a number to contact Nathan to reserve. If I type in Nathan's ...... I just get several CC hits and then many other rental agencies, but nothing that specifically said Nathans. Can someone (if permissible) direct me to the correct contact info? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevemar Posted March 26, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I would caution everyone, I recently prepaid for a Golf Cart with Nathan, unfortunately our cruise decided to skip GT, I have emailed Nathan to get a refund but no response. I guess that's the risk of booking something outside the cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's the risk of booking something outside the cruise ship. Damn it?! Are you kidding me! He already charge my CC and I am supposed to go there mid May. I highly doubt we are going as I do not think the issue with GT will be resolved for months. I was just coming on here about seeing how he is with refunds and saw your post. Oh well I hope he is ready to see a dip in his profits b/c I will be sure to tell everyone about this when they ask about him on this board. (That is of course if he does not respond to me.)

Rare crewsweeper Posted March 29, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Double check your spam filter box. There may be a reply there. Your original confirm should hav listed his cancellation policy. I fyou haven't received a response email him again. I fthe charges show up on your cc, you can dispute it with your cc company. Bit of a hassle but always a resort . Check with Nathan again first.

disneylynn Posted March 30, 2013 #9 Share Posted March 30, 2013 On March 11, 2013 I reserved two golf carts for my stop to The Grand Turk on May 28, 21013. I just received my charge card bill and I was charged $160. If we make it to the Island I'm fine with the charge but if we can't stop at Grand Turk I hope he refunds my money. His emails never had any cancellation policy. The email was very brief all it said was he needed my cc number to reserve a golf cart for the day. I sent him a email. If anyone get a answer from him please let me know Thank you Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vigurl Posted April 1, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 1, 2013 He's already having a dip in profits due to the port being closed for an extended time period Maybe I should have said permanent dip. Anyway, all is good as he has responded to the other poster so I am sure things will be just fine. (even if it takes 4 emails to smooth it out!)

excited1sttimer Posted April 4, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I would caution everyone, I recently prepaid for a Golf Cart with Nathan, unfortunately our cruise decided to skip GT, I have emailed Nathan to get a refund but no response. I guess that's the risk of booking something outside the cruise ship. We missed our stop in Grand Turk in January and Nathan refunded our money with no problems. I just emailed him when we got back, he said he refunded it, and it was in my next statement. I'm not sure how the port closure has changed his situation, but we had no problems getting our money back. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boomers Posted April 15, 2013 #12 Share Posted April 15, 2013 We just got back from an 8 day stay on Grand Turk. We rented a cart (locals call them "buggies") for 6 days. Cart ran great, and a great way to see and explore the island. Nathan was very accommodating and genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa65 Posted April 15, 2013 #13 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Here another positive experience with Nathan. I had 7 carts reserved 2 weeks ago for our Grand Turk visit and the ship skipped this port. Within 3 days he refunded the total amount and was very accommodating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vigurl Posted April 16, 2013 #15 Share Posted April 16, 2013 does anyone know what the cost is to rent the golf carts? he told me that all carts are $80 but reading back in this form I have heard of people paying $60 and or $70 so I don't know if the rates have been going up.

MilVet Posted April 17, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 17, 2013 As of last month the carts were $80. Our ship also skipped GT last month and sent Nathan an email for a refund. I think the email is a little hinky in GT so had to send a second time. Got a response next day and a full refund the following day. BTW, we rented from him before and have never had any issues.

spinnychick Posted October 12, 2013 #17 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I reserved with Nathan for next year, decided to cancel. Have emailed and called multiple times and he won't respond. I have had to call my credit card to cancel the charges. Would never do business with him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoJayhawk Posted October 13, 2013 #18 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I've emailed him 3 times about renting scooters and haven't gotten a response. I just hate to call and do it over the phone and then not have any confirmation in writing. Frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmtre2 Posted October 30, 2013 #19 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Nathan was off island for personal business for a few months, if you have not received your refunds, try again. I know he is back on the island now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgetrucksrule Posted November 25, 2013 #24 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Our experience with Nathan: We sailed on the Breeze earlier this month. I had sent Nathan several emails back in August/September about renting a golf cart but never got a response. I finally called him in early October. After a couple calls back and forth I got one rented and paid with my debit card. After everything I had read here I was nervous but this is the one thing my hubby really wanted to do. So we arrive in Grand Turk and walk through the port area. I am not really sure where I am to meet Nathan so I ask at the taxi stand. The guy points to a beige building waaaaaayyyy over there. He tells me Nathan will be about 1/2 a block to the left of that building. I was crushed – I have many mobility issues and there was no way I could walk that far. The guy then calls Nathan and tells him where I am and to come in to the port and get me! Less than 5 minutes Nathan is here and we are on our way. The golf carts are old. They are not in the best condition – the blinker on ours was broken and the engine made a strange noise. But it ran just fine. Nathan did give us a map and a couple phone numbers to call him if needed. He showed us how to operate the cart and reminded us that they drive on the Left side. We were on our way. We had no problems at all from the cart. We drove around for about 3 hours. It had started to rain and having seen everything we wanted to we returned the cart and Nathan drove us back to the port area. I would have no concerns, worries, and problem renting from Nathan again. If fact I am sailing with a large group next year and we have already reserved everything he had to rent.

swimgirl1 Posted November 25, 2013 #25 Share Posted November 25, 2013 dodgetrucksrule, I am so glad to hear your experience was a good one. It has been a few years since we rented from Nathan, but we also had no problems back then, glad to hear it "should" be the same. Thanks again!
