james'mommy Posted November 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2015 We will be sailing on the Celebrity Summit and be in Tortola on Easter Sunday. Not sure what we want to do yet. Probably a half day at the Baths or the beach. Will things be closed because it is a holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted November 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Easter Sunday is mainly business as usual. Some places may be closed but many shops will be open, and the ferries will be running. Holidays falling on the weekend are generally observed the following Monday by residents.

OCruisers Posted November 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Even if you don't normally book a ships excursion, a major holiday is a good time to do so. :) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted November 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2015 You are sure to find some places closed for Easter. The Caribbean observes these holidays and if there is somewhere special you want to go, why not e-mail them ahead of time to confirm they will be open?

blue_water Posted November 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Yes Tortola definitely observes these religious holidays, and if you are interested in a particular place (perhaps a store like Sunny Caribbee, or lunch at the Bananakeet, for example) you can email them to ensure they will be open. But for a beach day or the Baths it is business as usual for taxis and ferries... Also, Good Friday many places are closed and alcohol is not served until after 6PM if I remember correctly form staying on Tortola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snyniew Posted November 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2015 You should join our rollcall. There are a few of us who are doing an all day sail w/ Kuralu Catamarans in Tortola. We have 4 signed up currently and he needs a minimum 6 to sail. We have confirmed that he will be running on that Easter Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
