LOL, Marsha, that is a great combo, I am going to steal it from
you..."a real crass boor!"

Thanks!

Okay, that comment reminded me to check the port calendar to see how
many ships would be in port so I could have a better feel for how many
folks will be trying to do the same thing...and I see we are the only
ship in port! So that is encouraging, especially to the extent
Celebrity might, indeed, have Speedy's under contract and could
possibly add an additional excursion.

Thanks,

Diana

Rosalie, you are so right, of course! I said the wrong thing when I
referred to sail charter--I was thinking of the cats I saw in a
picture, but of course, they use the motors for island-hopping
excursions. We do sail...not like you and Bob, just day sailers...so I
guess we could check out half-day rentals, but same issue...lots of
rigamarole for such a short time, also, Atantic in the spring can be
rough, rental equipment can be risky, etc.

Thank you, thank you, I knew I could count on you to come through with
some expert advice and tips on things to do on Tortola! And pictures,
too! I loved your trip note reference to the gravestone. I like
visiting cemeteries when we travel.

Lots of good ideas, appreciate it...

Diana

I believe that is because people who would be booking the Solstice are
booking Oasis of the Seas this year.

I also think that both the Oasis and the Solstice have been on the high
side price wise. Glad to see at least the Solstice is having some good
deals.
