ClevelandCruisin Posted July 4, 2021 #26 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Photos from the soggy dollar bar. We took an excursion through ncl which was on the rebel yell. The catamaran pulls right up on the beach to offload you. At soggy we had painkiller drinks, conch fritters and I believe lobster roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Blue Water...my wife & I are going to Tortola on NCL on Jan. 13th ( Thurs..) ..right now there is NOT an excursion to JVD because we arrive in Tortola at 6 am and they don't know if they want to do the excursion so early ( 7 am departure ) and NCL Encore leaves at 1 pm..they still might might do the excursion, but the NCL agent said to keep looking to see if they add that excursion to JVD..should I take the New Horizon ferry at 8 am and get the 12 noon return? Any other options IF NCL doesn't add this excursion? We had our hearts set on going to JVD and trying the Painkiller!! LOL... Big Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted November 21, 2021 #30 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Hi Al - I think the noon return ferry is just a bit risky. Even with no delays you’d be pushing it.. There may be a better option… Tyere is an outfit in Cane Garden Bay that provides transportation to Jost in a powerboat. Last time we used that it was $50/pp. But they will drop you right at the Soggy $ and pick you up in Great Harbor if you want. I would pose that question in the BVI forum on TTOL. The Tortola forum on TripAdvisor may also be of help, but not as much… Let me know how you make out!http://www.traveltalkonline.com/ubbthreads.php/forums/7/1/british-virgin-islands.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_water Posted November 21, 2021 #32 Share Posted November 21, 2021 TTOL is primarily home to sailing aficionados but there are many residents, business owners, and frequent land visitors who can help with questions like that. I hope there is a good option today. Taxi fare to CGB is ~$9/pp each way so if you can prearrange the water taxi you should have a great day 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_water Posted February 22, 2022 #37 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Your port times don’t make it very easy for you do they! Is there a ship excursion to Jost? If so that would be a good choice I think, as long as the bars are open! The alternative would be a taxi over to Cane Garden Bay or Brewers Bay… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaybeebee Posted February 22, 2022 #38 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi Blue Waters, You seem to have a lot of information. We are on the NCL Encore and will be in Tortola on March 31, 2022. Our port time is short, 6Am - 2PM, and the ship excursion only has one person availabilty. How would i find out and book the powerboat to Jost from CGB?

There always seemed to be one operator or another, but not sure about today.

2boxers Posted February 25, 2022 #44 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hello Im looking at the Celebrity excursion to Jost Van Dyke. It mentions lunch at the "beach bar" to include a burger or hot dog. Can I expect that the beach bar is Soggy Dollar or are there others? And then I can I choose to purchase off the menu?? Thanks for any info. This is our first time in Tortola. Thank you!

Thanks for any info. This is our first time in Tortola. Thank you! Not Soggy Dollar, it is in a pavilion sort of place down the beach. You can, of course, skip the provided lunch and walk to Soggy or Seddy's to buy lunch on your own, depending on how much time you have. Not a long walk, but all the bars operate on island time, so if they are busy, it may take a bit of time for your food to arrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_water Posted February 28, 2022 #47 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Seddy’s One Love is a fun spot if Seddy is there, we like his Bushwacker. His dad owns Foxy’s in Great Harbor. But several great spots in White Bay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were, as mentioned, supposed to de departing at 1PM. Due to the high surf we would not be going to Stirup Cay. They threw us a bone and we were not leaving till 4:30p. Problem we didn't find this out till we were leaving the ship for the beach. No time to plan JVD ferry! Double Wammy. Coulda planned ferry to JVD. but no notice. No GSC, high seas. Thankx for your help anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking for this information as well. So many include snorkeling or the baths and not just a roundtrip to the beach without taxi, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
