lgbteacher Posted March 15, 2008 #453 Share Posted March 15, 2008 lgbteacher~ I would LOVE to hear about your past experiences there. From what I have heard...if you liked it before, you are gonna LOVE it now! (Many upgrades are being done to the road and amenities, while keeping the costs down.) I would love to tell you about it! We went 5 years ago before they were hit by the hurricane(I think Wilma). It was beautiful. We booked on the ship because they told us at that time it was the only way you could book this excursion. I remember the rough ride to the ferry.Yikes! then we rode the ferry over to the island. It didn't look like much when we got off the ferry. They took us over and showed us the palapa where we would eat. Best guacamole I had ever eaten. The grilled chicken and fresh fruit was good too. Then they walked us through the trees and out to the other side of the island. I had to stop and catch my breath because it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. The corona commercial with the ship in the bottle was supposedly filmed there. I believe it because it was just that gorgeous. The restrooms were very clean and they had an attendent to sweep up the sand that you dump out of your suit while visiting the restroom. She was vey curtious and made sure the supplies were well stocked. Lots of people say the drinks are weak. I am not a big drinker so I didn't really notice. But, they are free so just drink more is what I thought. My husband would get 2 Coronas at a time and they had no problem with it. They would smile and say enjoy. We went back 2 years ago after the hurricane. There was damage visable. What I noticed most was the trees. They had planted new ones but they were still small. They were not all gone but many were. It made me sad. They had rebuilt all the huts bigger and better. We took a huge group of friends that were really picky so we were worried they would not like it as much as we did. They said on the bus ride back to the ship that they could not ever remember having such a good day. Whew! We are cruising in June of this year and are planning another trip to Passion Island. This time we are taking my DS and her family. We told them we did not have to go to PI but they said yes we do, we have to see it for ourselves. I can't wait. Hope you like it as much as we have in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanKim Posted March 15, 2008 #454 Share Posted March 15, 2008 lgbteacher~ Wow! It's a small world... We are going to be there the first week of June!! Which tour do you plan on taking to get there? I hope you saw the notice that I just posted about the 2 DAY SALE that Carrie is offering for new bookings!! (See posting above) We want to do "The Twister" as a group (they have a great discount rate for groups of 10-20!!), but are going to do the VIP tour instead (Plan B) if I can't get enough people for the group. I have heard so many wonderful things about this island, and am so glad that you have had good times there too...now I KNOW I've made the right decision!! Many thanks.........

Just 19 days to go before I can relax on the Inspiration CarribbeanTina271.... Where do you live? I am right outside of Atlanta (on Lake Allatoona) and we've been glued to the weather on the news virtually ALL night and day! I have a roll call started on our sailing in June, and have 3 other Ga. families that will be on the same ship...and we've all been on pins & needles all day. I hope everything is going okay for you now, and that you & your family are safe. Thankfully, it looks like the rest of the week is going to be much better! (Well - DUH! Of course it will be...you're doing your final packing!!) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenf333 Posted March 21, 2008 #465 Share Posted March 21, 2008 is it just me or is it odd that a company is using hotmail addresses? Its actually not all that suprising, I have several things planned for my land vacation, and alot of the providers used hotmail, or gmail. Rarely did I get a reply from the dot com address.
