Tortola from 3-9pm

In Tortola from 3-9pm. It sucks but I really would like to see the Baths. Do you think there would be enough sunlight to enjoy the Baths in March.

Is your cruise offering an excursion? If so it will be very short and if not then you will not be able to do it using the ferry.

As Chris said in our Noordam thread, you will have about an hour more sunlight than we had. Under those conditions I'd definitely go for it.

Sunset in March is right around 6:30, if your ship arrives at 3 you probably won't get off much before 3:30. It's a 45 minute or so ride to VG so that's 4:15 if you leave right away. So you can't really get a lot of time at the Bath's in my opinion and considering what cruise lines usually charge for excursions I wonder if it's worth that short a trip. But that's just my opinion.

 

As for the ferry, you would be taking the last ferry from Tortola and once you got to VG you would pretty much have to grab the next ferry back to Tortola since it is the last one.

 

To each his own, I'm just putting out my thoughts and Bob may be absolutely right.

Thanks for you posts. Even if we get 1 1/2 to 2 hrs there, that should be sufficient. I was wondering about the return trip to the ship as it would be dark by the time we get back. Maybe Cane Garden Bay would be a better idea.
