    Opinion on St. John Eco Hike ?

    You can catch a ferry to St. John on your own and catch the bus or a taxi rather inexpensively when you get there. If you like to snorkel, go to Waterlemon and snorkel around the rocks there. Everyone goes to Trunk Bay but it tends to be crowded. Waterlemon doesn't have amenities like Trunk...

    Ferry question Tortola and St. Thomas....

    It really depends on the weather. I have taken the ferry from St. Thomas to St. John multiple times. Most were uneventful rides with hardly any waves. There was a time we were on the car ferry and it was like we were in a massive wave pool. It was really choppy but kind of fun. I don't...

    Dramamine Vs. Transderm Patch

    Do do know you're not supposed to do that, right? Patients should be advised not to cut the patch. http://www.transdermscop.com/prescribing-information.htm#PATIENT My doctor recommended it. So I was following his direction. He said it helps reduce the dry mouth and the blurred vision...

    Tortola store to buy wine/beer?

    Havensight at the cruise dock has several liquor stores. There are plenty to choose from but if you take a short walk across the street and up a block there is a KMart and they have some of the cheapest prices on liquor. Check Havensight then take a walk.

    Biggest waste of time?

    The food was great but I found Remy to be a huge time waster. I had to be rolled out of the place because I was stuffed. It was well worth doing at least once but 3.5 hours of dinner was just too much for me. :flower1::snail: The drive to Florida is also a huge time waster. It is a long...

    Any POSITIVE experiences at Coral World?

    We have been to Coral World several times. It is a fun little sea park. If you want to go on your own you can get a St. Thomas this week and cut the coupon for a discounted visit. They also have lockers that you can rent to keep your beach items in while touring. We went 2 years ago with our...

    Those who have visited St. Thomas

    We have been to St. Thomas many times. We loved it. We even stayed on St. John one year and were more uncomfortable there than we were in St. Thomas. There is crime everywhere you go. Just like with being at home, while on vacation you should be careful of your surroundings and not assume...

    Best Fish Extender gift received?

    My favorite FE gifts were a web keychain with a ribbon with the aquaduck and the Disney cruise logo. I use this every day and it is getting dirty but I love it. We also got light switch plates that have Mickey and Minnie and Pluto and other characters. My son and daughter have these in their...

    The pressure to provide "excellent" service

    Sorry I was referring directly to the automotive industry.

    The pressure to provide "excellent" service

    They do this because it directly affects their pay. They are straight commission and it is cut when they score below the highest score. In addition is can hurt the dealership. They can actually loose the service line if they get enough scores that are low. In other words, Ford could remove...

    The pressure to provide "excellent" service

    I wonder if their pay is directly affected by not getting an excellent. My husband works service and their pay (commission only) will be cut for anything below an excellent. Also in the hospital industry, the hospital loses money for anything below an excellent and the next rating below...

    People that have been to St. Thomas...

    That was our thought. Tour a little, relax by the pool a little. Take the steps to town and catch a cab back to the ship. Cabs are plentiful in St. Thomas

    People that have been to St. Thomas...

    It is a small shopping mall with t shirt shops, souvenir shops and a bar with great banana drinks. You can take a cab. There are very few steps there.
