Rare Buffettfan 225 Posted September 24, 2011 #27 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I know fellow CC members on this thread--someone will be going as soon as tours are official. We are all anxiously awaiting more info and I don't sail until March. Please review-- overall tour -length,cost, what you thought and saw how did you get there, and is it walkable being 3 blocks samples or chocolate for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Louis Sal Posted October 2, 2011 #28 Share Posted October 2, 2011 This is what I got from Agapey on September 26, so I'm crossing my fingers we actually get to do it. "Hi Sally, Thank you for your pre-registration. Once our tour dates are scheduled, you will be notified. Please be advised that tours will be running only on selected days. *Most likely yes, it will be offered on your desired date but please wait for our confirmation before scheduling it in just in case. Check out our website for updates. We have also added some great photos of Barbados. http://www.agapey.com/barbadosphotos.html " I'm looking forward to someones review before then.

Rare Buffettfan 225 Posted October 6, 2011 #32 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Mmm, me too ....... and I really want to know what it tastes like and if there are free samples!! :D Counting on samples :D Maybe tehn I won't feel bad purchasing higher priced Agapey Bars. With all the hype on "healthy" choclate I want to learn more about truth of antioxidants and heat process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essexlass2 Posted October 30, 2011 #39 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I think there will be a few other folks going in November; we go in December. Hopefully someone will let us all know how their tour went, but if not I will do the honours after Christmas/New Year as we don't get back home until then :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniesband Posted November 2, 2011 #41 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Here's the new web page for the tour - http://www.agapey.com/chocolatefactory.html#tour Looks like they need a minimum of 10 to do the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essexlass2 Posted November 2, 2011 #42 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Here's the new web page for the tour - http://www.agapey.com/chocolatefactory.html#tour Looks like they need a minimum of 10 to do the tour. Its the best indication yet that they are definitely getting their act together on the tours. The website actually states a maximum of 10 but a minimum of 5 and they will put groups together so its okay if there are only one or two folk wanting to go as long as we book in advance. $10 USD and a 45 minute tour also given now so that's very helpful too. Erniesband, thanks for that, you're a star! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare knotheadusc Posted November 2, 2011 #43 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) You can request the tour on the Web site and Alex, the guy at the chocolate factory, will set everything up for you. They offer tours at 10AM and 2PM. You pick which one you prefer when you pre-register. If they get at least five people signed up for your requested tour, they will let you know and then you make a deposit, which I'm guessing is actually the full $10 fee. Be sure to bring closed toe shoes if you want to do it. Open toed shoes/sandals/high heels are not allowed.

Erniesband, thanks for that, you're a star! :D It helps if I pay attention to what I'm reading :rolleyes: 5 minimum, 10 max is right. We've got the 5 minimum and DW just e-mailed the reservation form so now we're waiting to find out about the deposit. By the looks of it the site is NOT secure and I certainly won't be giving CC info on an un-secured site. Guess we wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniesband Posted November 3, 2011 #45 Share Posted November 3, 2011 So for payment there is a link on reservation page that takes you to the chocolate factory's paypal account. It's a secure site so we used a credit card. We paid in full for all 5 of us. We won't be there till late January so hopefully one of you going earlier can give us a review. Chocolate = the 5th food group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essexlass2 Posted November 3, 2011 #46 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Per board rules, tour sharing is to be arranged on your Roll Call. Agapey are doing it for us. We're not doing it ourselves so no problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare knotheadusc Posted November 3, 2011 #47 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Agapey are doing it for us. We're not doing it ourselves so no problem! Besides, my cruise only has 110 people on it, so there is no official roll call. I tried asking on the board who was going and no one piped up. Our cruise ends on the 20th, so technically by then I'll be a hotel guest, not a cruiser. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had recently "wished" they had later tours- since many excursions further away were done in morning. My wish has been granted. Thanks for posting 2pm info.
