norm2002 Posted January 13, 2006 #26 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Back to the original topic, it looks like I may get my chance to experience Caviar in the Surf (even though I don't eat caviar!). Just added the 7 day cruise from St Thomas to FLL before I do the crossing. Letting Seabourn do the flight from London via Miami to STT. Very expensive to do the bit from Miami to STT compared to the fare between Heathrow and Miami. Will fly out the day before and the hotel Seabourn will put me in is probably the Marriot Frenchman's Reef. The good thing about going to the Caribbean is I don't think they have pirates there, do they? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamboatman Posted January 13, 2006 #27 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Norm, Are you forgetting two things: "Pirates of the Caribbean" and your FREE cruise (which should take some of the sting out of the airfare pricing!).:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgood Posted January 13, 2006 #28 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The good news is that Seabourn has already secured its allotment of caviar for the season, so all's well for the nonce. It's good really that the UN is taking some steps, though, to get a handle on the situation. We all can't truly go blithely along and not face up to what's happening in the Caspian. Insh'allah they will come up with a reasonable solution that will allow our kids to enjoy some of the good eggs too. I would think that there's enough incentive for aquaculturists to create a great product, given time. bgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be on that leg too (had booked it with the crossing but I cancelled the crossing) as will the La Palomas and Jane from California, I believe. Anyone else?

We will probably see you at Frenchmans Reef, or at the Skybar. Should be a great cruise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norm2002 Posted January 15, 2006 #32 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Look forward to meeting you too. Not been to Charlotte Amalie for a long time. Presumably we'll have all morning to relax and look at the duty free shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMatt Posted January 15, 2006 #33 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Just a note - that is Easter Sunday, there will be some shops open but not too many, especially that morning. We ran into this on Easter last year at STT. We stayed downtown and watched all the locals heading to church in thier Easter finery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
