mikey47 Posted October 4, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2005 :) Usually use the P&O web site but thought I'd try this to see if anyone else is on our cruise. Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrierjohn Posted October 4, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hello Mikey, Pauline and I will be on this cruise flying from Manchester, date is Jan 06 by the way, your profile says Jan 2006 so I assume your header was just a slip of the finger?

terrierjohn Posted October 5, 2005 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Mike, Not too far from you, we're in Huddersfield. I assume you will be flying from Yeadon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey47 Posted October 5, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Yes, haven't had any flight times yet. May see you at the airport. Do you go on the P&O site at all? I'm Mike and Sue R on that. Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emac Posted October 10, 2005 #8 Share Posted October 10, 2005 We're also on that cruise. We are flying from Gatwick. Not thinking much about January yet as we are going on NCL Jewel To Canada/New England on October 21st. Has anyone researched what to do in each port? Any ideas would be welcome. Looking forward to meeting you all. Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey47 Posted October 11, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Elaine, the list of excursions is available on the P&O web site, http://www.pocruiseconnections.co.uk/, go to shore excursions, then Caribbean and select a port of call. If you also go to Already booked and enter your name and booking reference you will be able to book the excursions on line within 90 days of departure. We think we will do the following: Tortola: Escape to Virgin Gorda Antigua: Helicopter Adveture to Montserrat St Kitts: Rainforest Adventure St Lucia: Jeep Trek St Vincent: Waterfall and Coastal Adventure Mayreau: Schooner Sailaway Isla Margherita: Jeep Explorer Trinidad: Asa Wright Tobago: Pidgeon Point Beach Break Barbados: booked a meal at The Cliff Hope this helps a little Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emac Posted October 11, 2005 #10 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Thanks Mikey47 Not been on P&O website for a while. On return from Canada must get down to planning for the Caribbean. Will also read the appropriate message boards which are really useful. Thanks for your help. Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did the schooner sailaway in Mayreau (such a beautiful place) another good one. Can't comment on the others at present. See you on board I expect.

mikey47 Posted October 12, 2005 Author #12 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Many thanks for the recommends. Haven't booked yet but hope to soon. Hopefully meet up on board with a meeting. Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey47 Posted October 31, 2005 Author #13 Share Posted October 31, 2005 :) I've managed to book the tours on line using the P&O site going to "Already Booked", putting in my booking reference and selecting the tours. The list of tours is then available showing what has been confirmed. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emac Posted November 16, 2005 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Just received a brochure from P&O describing all the tours for the Caribbean. I have now started researching about the different islands as it is our first time in the Eastern Caribbean. We would like to do some tours independently. Has anyone booked any tours other than the P&O ones? Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emac Posted December 1, 2005 #15 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I've been doing a lot of research into independent tours. We prefer tours with smaller groups than the the large coaches that that the ship offers. You get a more personal service and don't waste time waiting for people. Several of the tours work out significantly cheaper if there are 4 or more so I thought I'd ask people, through the rollcall, if anyone was interested in joining us on any of the tours. Antigua-Lawrence of Antigua tour to Dockyard area, recommended on these boards. St Kitts-Greg's Tours Rainforest Tour, 4 hours inc. picnic 45$ each. St Vincent-Island tour, various options, 6-7 hours, 50$each. Tobago-Island tour inc. lunch and fee to Argyle Falls, 8-5pm. Quoted 160$ for 2. Presume 4 would be much cheaper. Anyone interested? I can send website links if necessary. Elaine I've posted this on the other thread as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emac Posted December 5, 2005 #17 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi Pam & Allen. The websites for the tours are: Lawrence of Antigua http://www.antiguanice.com/lawrence_of_antigua/ Greg's Rainforest tour, 45$ each http://www.gregsafaris.com/HlfDayRFrst.html Prefer tour 3 or 4 but nothing confirmed yet with Sailor's Tours 50$ each if there are 4 people. http://www.sailortours.com/day.html We have not agreed any details just booked an island tour. They have quoted 160$ for 2 but would need to clarify how much 4 would be. http://www.alibaba-tours.com/ I also have the e-mails they have written to me. Anyway let me know if you are interested in any of them. Elaine (and Graham) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
