September 12, 2009 ~ Last Call for Tortola! Thread 2

[katypop]

I just got a call from DCL stating our Day at the Baths tour has been cancelled. I'm so upset! That was the one thing we were looking forward to the most! Off to do some investigating.

No way. I am so sorry! I can't wait to find out WHY!

Hi Jennifer, I was just going to send you a pm but see you already found out the sad news This was the excursion I booked too, and was really looking forward to it! I was checking on line last night after work just in case a Palo brunch became available (it didn't ) and noticed that my Baths excursion was gone, and no longer available to book. I called DCL and they said the company providing this excursion to DCL had cancelled with them. Not sure this is true, but it's what they told me. Last night the only other excursion going there, the tour to Virgin Gorda was completely booked. I tried to get them to sqeeze just one more in (me!) but they couldn't and wouldn't put me on a waiting list either. Someone was supposed to call me back today but they didn't. I was at work all day but I do have call display...no calls! Anyway, I just went on their site and the Virgin Gorda tour is available again, so if anyone's interested in that one I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too. I wonder if they've added a second tour or if someone just happened to cancel? Does anyone have a starting time other than 7:45? I thought about doing this on my own too, but since I'm travelling solo it really would be on my own and I'm just not quite that brave

Wow Ian....that's a perfect synopsis of our cruise activities. Thank you so much for putting it together for us. This really is going to be a fun trip. I can't wait to meet and re-meet everyone. Sunday is going to be my favorite day.....Champagne Girls and Shots Around The Ship....with plenty of time to nap in between....hahaha. I can't wait.

You're welcome to go on the land and sea tour with us. Not quite as exciting as the Baths, but you know what an old-fogie Sukie can be. However, I promise that we can provide, supplemental (and amusing) commentary.

Thanks so much for the offer Ian I would take you up on it too, but I did manage to book the Virgin Gorda excursion that became available today. It will be shorter than what I had, but at least I'll get to see the Baths. I don't know how long your tour is,but mine is back fairly early, so I'm planning on walking around town in the afternoon...if you and Sukie or anyone else wants to join me I'd love the company, and commentary

Cheri, where are you I know I'm quoting myself but this just made me think of you, and our walking tour in Aruba! What plans have you made?

I need to remember this in case my tour gets cancelled again!

We are on an early morning tour and are back at 12:45 PM. It would be great to have a walk around with you after lunch!

What a great day....right? We're going to have a blast!

It's perfect that they're both on the same day and both at the beginning of our cruise. I'm so excited.

Hi from WDW everyone!!!! We're just down here for the weekend. We've been at Epcot today. We came down for the pin event this weekend so that's what we've done most of the day. MK's open til 2 this morning so we're heading over there in a little while.

Wow, 2:00 AM! That's late! I hope you have a great time

I don't ever remember MK being open that late, but, then again, I have never been down there in June. I've only been down in mid August for my 50th birthday party, otherwise our normal times of the year are in October, early December or early May.

HEY....Dianne and I will be done with the dolphins about 12:15 and we'll be looking for a place for lunch. I think we need to do some research for a good DIS lunch spot in Tortola! Someplace casual. Looks like I'll be on the web and over at cruise critic this weekend to look around. Anybody done any research on that already?

OR....we can meet at the ship for FREE lunch, then go do a 'walkabout'.
