September 17, 2006 - 11 Night Southern Caribbean Part 2

[icunurse_celeste]

Hi guys....does anyone know if the Cosol Tour in St. Lucia still has room for 2 people? I saw the post a few days ago but now I can not find it. I am trying to decide if I want to go on it. Since there are so many of the DISers signed up on it I figured it would be lots of fun. Right now I am on the Cruise to the Pitons but may change.

If anyone knows how I can find out about this, please let me know.

Thanks!

If you would like to see the 2 pins that were previewed for each of the Southern Caribbean cruises, here they are:

At least they learned something from the repositioning cruises........these are limited to 1 per person and will be sold starting Sept. 18, on our cruise. The one on the left is for the 10 day folks. Ours is on the right.

Those are cool. So one per person, I can handle that. I still think they should use my idea for special cruises. They need to send out brochures with pics and descriptions of all the special merchandise available. Then you would have a deadline before the cruise to place your order and everything would be waiting in your stateroom (like CC gifts) and you could either pay before you get there or have charged to your onboard account. It's also limited to 1 per person for each item. This way there's no fighting. There would be supply onboard for exchanges up to a certain point and then what remains would go on sale to whoever.

Someone had posted loooooong ago that this tour as well as the Eli ECO Tour were completely booked but I am passing along the info that there are spaces available on the Extreme Tour.

Contact Fran for more info info@antiguaadventures.com

The Xtreme Circumnav - Using our 45 ft offshore racing boat, specifically designed for our excursion.

Eli Fuller of Adventure Antigua has finally come up with another Adventure to match his wildly popular Eco-Tour. You have probably heard all about the Eco-Tour which was designed to be a re-creation of Eli's childhood days, spent exploring the secret spots of the North Sound. This new Xtreme tour takes adventurers right around Antigua's rugged, 365 beach coastline. Count them if you can!

Eli designed this tour to stay within the same theme of his famous Eco-Tour, but to be different enough for you to enjoy both on the same vacation. The main highlights of this Xtreme adventure, making it totally unique, are the high speed Miami Vice style run, through the amazing islands of the north sound with its myriad coral reefs, the Stingray City Marine Park swim where you can have your picture taken actually holding one of these ancient and beautiful fish; the Robinson Crusoe style, buffet lunch at Green Island with your toes in the water; the tour of Nelson's Dockyard with your own on-board local historian; the guided snorkel trip at the awesome Pillars of Hercules with its volcanic boulders below the surface, and the swim and beach combing at the extremely secluded and beautiful Rendezvous Bay. This tour is done within the same timeframe as the Eco-Tour, and we manage to do this because our newest boat is FAST. Between stops our new boat will race you past the beaches and shores of Antigua so you'd better be a quick counter to get the 365!

There are however a few things you have to keep in mind before you decide to go on this tour because, like the Eco-Tour, this tour is not for everyone.

1) The boat is a high performance 45-foot power boat using three, eco-friendly, 225hp Four Stroke Yamaha engines that sip fuel. Top cruise speed is an exhilarating 40 MPH which we will be doing passing the islands of the North Sound. If you "feel the need for speed" then this will be your favorite part of the trip! But if high speed thrills have never been your thing, then you would definitely be happier on the slower paced Eco-Tour.

2) Although the boat has been designed for offshore racing, the 5 mile run from Stingray City to our Lunch Spot on the North of Green Island could be a little "bumpy" for some. This tour is not recommended if you are preganant. However, if you are the extreme kind of person who likes some excitement and wants to experience what an offshore powerboat race feels like then the spray of this wild, open water section will keep you smiling.

3) This isn't the booze cruise your parents did in the "good old days". If you are "young at heart" (and not "faint of heart") it could just be the thrill of a lifetime. With five stops along the 50 miles run around the island this tour is action packed.

So if you are up for some extreme action and are loving the idea of getting into the water with dozens of very friendly rays (they will come up and touch you!!), and if the image of that 40mph burst past the islands of the North Sound, and the adventurous ride in the Atlantic - if all this turns you on… then you are an ideal candidate for the Xtreme adventure! ….. And speaking about booze, we do serve our famous Eco-Tour rum punch, but only at the end of the tour when the adventure is drawing to a close.

Our new Xtreme adventure is unbeatable as a way to see the coastline of our beautiful island and it could definitely be the most fun you have ever had on a holiday excursion.

Nov-May US $170 - Snorkeling gear, food and drinks are provided.

Vicki - I've known Candi since 2000 also. I forget her DD's name (is Candi the DD or mother??) but they both sell and buy together. We have many tr/actions between each other.

Kay, I'm afraid that is not the same Candi as Candi Rose. Candi had no children. Unfortunately, Candi passed away a year ago June from complications and other issues related to her diabetes. But she will always be in our hearts.

Two H2 blockers, but for some reason Axid knocks down my seasick flutters but Zantac doesn't. Benadryl just puts me to sleep. I forgot to mention that the Mucinex that I get is the DM (dextromethorphan), so if either of us gets one of those dry coughs, we're all set.


Has anyone tried Ginger Tablets for seasickness, we have in the past and they worked great for us,no side effects, you can get them at most health food stores.

I use Ginger capsules all the time. Pick them up at Wal-Mart.. (of course!) 100 caps for around $4. I take them pro-actively since they do not have any side effects. Also found the ginger altoids in case I need a bolus...

That makes too much sense.... Disney would never do it!!

That and the fact that they won't take outside suggestions.

 

[LetsGoSteelers]

The only drawback is it would probably require a full time person to assemble orders, pkg them in Disney fashion, anything less is not Disney, and then distribute. Then with last minute upgrades, room changes, it could be a logistical nightmare......guess its easier just to have everyone walk to the giftshop and buy what they want when they want it, despite any inconveniences

I think that is an excellant idea! Even if they added these items to the things one can already get online (flowers, wine etc.) that would work.

Good morning everyone. Glad to see Ernesto downgraded for all you guys in Florida.

yep - BUT ------------ there is another one out there that they are watching very closely

Will probably reach us by 9/15 !!!! ugh------------

OM goodness - I knew she was very sick - I just to buy pins for her at our events in FL and send them to her. I only charged her what I paid for them. She really appreciated that. Looks like I did a good thing.

Guess I had her mixed up with someone else that does have a DD working with her.

Guess I hadn't heard about it due to the fact that I was very sick around that time and in the hospital for over 2 years very sick myself. Sorry to hear that

WOW! You must have been to an Epcot pin event or two!

 

[Kitster]

Wow.. only a page to catch up this morning!!! What happened to the West Coast Contingent??

Sleep is a wonderful thing...

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

WOW! You must have been to an Epcot pin event or two!

Or three or four... TOOOOOO MANY is all I know!!! Gave up on them ever getting it right.

They could still do the RSP thing on these special cruises, like at pin events..after everyone is on board and in their staterooms. Just leave the rsp form in the cabin the first night and away we go. Still, no standing in lines and wasting time.
