Not from experience, but from my recent research for an upcoming cruise, that sounds like an excursion to the Baths on Virgin Gorda from Tortola, BVI.

That is definitely on my short list of spots for post retirement travels.

Thanks, I will check out "Theme Cruises"

I listen to a SiriusXM channel that plays Jam Bands: Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Govn't Mule, moe., String Cheese Incident, TTB, etc.

There is an annual cruise or two for bands and fans of this musical genre, but the website gives little info except how to purchase tickets..

I'm wondering if anyone here has been on one of these cruises, or if there are any threads about such here on CC.

I have found nothing by searching here.

Thank you

Tim

Thanks for taking the time to do this review!

DW and I will be on Getaway in October. First cruise, Can't wait!

What? And not be featured on the Pier Runners YouTube channel? :D

 

I don't own a watch' date=' and do not plan on acquiring a watch on my cruise. What you can do is go into your phone settings and turn off "Automatic date and time" on your phone, then adjust your time zone to correspond to ship time. (For my S8 Android phone, it's Settings -> General Management -> Date and Time). Then, set the alarm for about one hour prior to when you actually have to be on the boat, which is usually 30 minutes prior to sailaway time.

 

One thing that you should do prior to leaving on your cruise is download the maps of each port to your smartphone so that it can be used in Google Maps in offline mode. Another suggestion is to use the Parking feature of Google Maps. While it's intended to help you locate your car after you have parked, who says you can't use it when you get off the ship to set where your ship has parked, especially when multiple ships are in port that day?

"Offline Maps" and "Where the heck did I 'park' that cruise ship" Will come in very handy.

Thank you for excellent these tips!
