I don't want an obstructed view. Balcony I do want.

I don't want an obstructed view. Balcony I do want.

From the CC Groups I have been a part of, the pricing is for a reg 8B or above guarantee for the Balcony,

 

So you would be at least guaranteed a reg Balcony, with a reg view.

 

If you really like a certain part of the ship, than you should do the full deposit,

if you are willing to be anywhere on the ship,

than it is kind of fun to see where you might get up graded to.

Thank you. This will be our 3rd cruise and 1st group cruise. I've always gone right through my PVP. Any help is appreciated. I'm happy with 90% of the balconys. The only ones I don't like are right behind the bridge of the ship. But even if I got one of those I'd still be good. Hey just being on a cruise is a good thing.

for anyone that does recreational snorkeling...Tobacco Bay in St. George is awesome...it is a swimming cove...surounded by Rock...no WAVES...lots of cool fish. There is a bar on the beach..not sure if they serve food or not..restrooms and small gift shop. This is one of favorite places to swim and snorkel because of how calm it is. Beautiful.

[Crazeecat5]

Here is the reply about the reduced deposit and choosing of cabin.....

 

HI Sheryl and Happy Friday!!

If someone books in to the group at reduced deposit and decides they want to choose a specific cabin, they can as long as the full deposit is on the booking and there are cabins left to choose from. The reduced deposit guarantees them that category but the frull deposit is required to choose a cabin. Hope that makes sense.



Hope this helps those of you deciding on the reduced deposit or not. Of course, that also depends if we get that option when the group becomes Official!;)

Hey Marie,

Thanks for stopping by.

That area looks beautiful. How far is it from the dock? Does it get crowded there?

It is fantastic! Like other ports, crowds depend on how many ships are in port. But... there are lots of fantastic beaches and plenty of sand (crushed pink coral) to go around!

 

 

Anyone rent the movie THE DEEP yet.:D

Thanks for the info. Just checked the deck plans and 8B or higher is good enough for me. If there's a reduced deposit offer, I'll be doing that.

Hey Mike,

I saw that movie many years ago. Maybe I will see if I can watch it again!

Cool.. Then I just may go with the reduced deposit then as long as it is a regular balcony..

No, assuming it is based in Bermuda?

Also, check post #289 for more info about reduced deposits and choosing a cabin.

[The Grumpus]

No, assuming it is based in Bermuda?

Yes, but most of the diving was filmed in BVI.

Yes, also Australia and BVI but check out the chase scenes and under water shots.

 

According to Yahoo's movies..."Posters of Jaqueline Bissett underwater in a T-shirt adorned many a dorm wall in the late 1970s."

I think the dive sequence was also filmed off the barrior reefs of Bermuda.

On our Mateys group, the balcony cat. price is an 8C so those who chose that are guaranteed to get an 8c balcony or better. Hopefully, we can get that with this grop!

Crazee5....tobacco bay is far from the port. Not sure how you would get there..by bus or ferry maybe..we always rent scooters so we can explore the whole island...

 

As far as crowds..never seems to be to crowded..now that most ships are docking at the dockyard I would imagine that Tobacco bay is not very crowded.

 

Beautiful...beautiful Island

 

Like someone else posted...lots of beautiful beaches.

 

The last time we were in Bermuda...we drove along the coast...I kept stopping my husband every 2 minutes..." stop..I gotta take a picture". This went on forever.

Just plotted a few beaches on the map I showed yesterday

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=103517276185828751130.0004893c7a5c59ee801e3&ll=32.317893,-64.767494&spn=0.181337,0.281868&z=12

 

The beach you asked about looks to be at the north shore of the Island

 

Scroll down on the left to see all the beaches added

 

I am still working on getting the icons all the same (swimming person for beaches, etc...)

All the "nice" beaches are on the south shore.
