MamaParrotHead Posted October 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Both are pier (not tender) ports, right? So there wouldn't be any issues with weather and not being able to dock, correct? Just wondering if there's need for a "Plan B". Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ykgorbie Posted October 9, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2011 ....ALTHOUGH, I have heard that sometimes severe winds will hamper a pier dock. Never happened to us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail811 Posted October 9, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2011 We had really rough seas sailing into Tortola, but it was very calm when we docked. Tours to the Baths were cancelled, but we had booked with a private catamaran and made it with no problems. And as others stated, both are piers.

Crusin Hogs Posted October 10, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Tortola is a great stop , My favorite port to go to. We had no excurissions planed , There are open air tours busses outside the gate , $20.00 per person , about a 3 hr tour we saw the whole island , stopped at a beach,went to the mountian top restraunt , Had a great time We rode with Greg's tour Co Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachgal58 Posted October 10, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We walked outside the gate on Tortola and crammed into a van, 10 of us from the ship. It was our first time to this port so being with others from the ship was a comfort. They took us to a beach I cant remembr how much but at the beach it was $10 for 2 chairs, right on the water and there were rest/bar/shops right behind. The beach was full of cruisers. Antigua, we docked right at the pier where all the tourist crap is. We booked a snorkel/catamaran exc thru the ship, it was right there for us. I dont like booking thru the ship but it was our first time to Antigua. When we returned, we walked thru all the shops, they are all right there.

It depends on how many ships are there, Carnival does not have first rights to the dock at Tortola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
