We actually had 10 in the van. Eight from our group & a nice couple that asked to join us. Very comfortable. Yes, 4 rows of 3. If I remember correctly, Rows 2 & 3 were two seats by one window, little aisle in the middle then a single seat by the window on the other side of van. This way those that sat all the way in the back didn't have a difficult time getting back here, as is sometimes the case with vans.

Thanks, LynneL....good to know. He asked us to reconfirm about 6 weeks out since I contacted him awhile ago.

 

I'd definately recommend George. My e-mail contact with him was at alratteray@logic.bm

He answered all e-mails very promptly. Tell him Lynne & her group recommended him & say Hi!

Thanks LynneL....we're scheduled for our October stopover and its good to know he's as good as he sounded in his e-mails & the phone call I made to confirm. We have 6 so far, but I suspect it won't be a problem to get 8. We have a couple gentlemen who need to sit up front or in an aisle. He said the seating arranging was 4 rows of 3? How was the van with 8?

FYI - Duke is booked; Dennis Holis is off the Island & we are waiting to hear from Colin again. I also am looking into this firm....http://www.gartours.com/html/destinations.html. Their buses hold up to 14. We could have a private tour for $10/hr/person. Has anyone used or heard of them. Anybody else interested?

Hi,

PM on this since I had contacted Colin & Duke earlier & we had an impromptu group of 3 couples....it should work out, although I'm waiting on follow up e=mails from both gentlemen.

Hi, Folks,

We're on the Caribbean Princess, stopping in Bermuda on 10/29. Following the threads here, I e-mailed four guides. Guess what? I heard back from 3 of them in 24 hours!! Now - how do I choose? Its Duke Soares, Collin Jennings & Dennis Hollis.

By the way, its just the two of us so far, so if anyone is also in port 10/29/12, please speak up. We like to share shore excursions -nice to split expenses & meet people from all over.

Jeez - years ago my son got norovirus in a college dorm. I should have demanded a tuition refund for the classes he missed!

 

It sure looks like all the whining by the OP is an attempt to 'rationalize' a future request/demand for monetary compensation.

It wasn't that bad...we even ate large salads from the HC....makes you wonder about some folks, doesn't it?

All you need to know and then some: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/revb/gastro/norovirus.htm

DH got this e-mail from Medline this AM since he's in a medically related field. The virus is generally brought on board by a passenger(s).

There were long lines the first day of our cruise also, but it settled down promptly. The extra measures weren't that irksome, especially if you understand how the virus is transmitted. There's no medication or vaccine against it, and you can get it again after your brief immunity wears off. Washing hands, and hand sanitizers are good measures. I did think the handrails could have been wiped down more often when we were around, but hard surfaces aren't ideal breeding places for the virus - food and moist areas are. A good policy is to keep your hands away from your mouth, eyes and face until you can wash thoroughly.
