Thisisliving Posted December 28, 2005 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Has anybody been on the jeep safari? I'm thinking of doing it through Royal Caribbean but it's $72 for 3 hours and I just want to make sure it's worth it. The writeup on the tour looks good but that doesn't mean anything sometimes.

Aubiecruiser Posted December 29, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I was looking at the same excursion for our April Cruise. Hope we get some feedback. Aubie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rent-A-Guide Posted January 2, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Maryan and Aubiecruiser, The jeep safari tour has been applauded by all those that have participated. (But again I may be biased, for I am one of the guides :p ). One thing that may influence your decision is, that although not mentioned in your tour description info., we are visiting a cave on route! Happy New Year and hope to meet you, Henry"Leo"Plaate Rent-A-Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisisliving Posted January 4, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted January 4, 2006 It sounds great. Now if I book it thorough Royal Caribbean that is the same tour? My husband loved the idea of going to the cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatbloominplace Posted January 4, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 4, 2006 leo, i went to yellow jeep safari tour website and noticed that it was not offered on wed. does that mean that if we are on the aos that we cannot book this tour independently since wed. is the day aos is in port. CAN YOU ALSO TELL ME IF THIS IS A MORNING OR AFTERNOON TOUR. WE ARE THINKING OF DOING THIS IN THE MORNING THEN WALKING AROUND TOWN TO SHOP FOR AN HOUR OR SO, AND THEN GOING TO PLAYA PORTO MAIR. IS THIS TOO MUCH TO DO IN ONE DAY? have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts and appreciate that you are taking your time for us. steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisisliving Posted January 5, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hey Steve I see you are from Stoughton, I am from Pembroke. I love your code name - isn't that the name of a local florist? Do you work there - or maybe you own it. Ohh....la......la What week are you going to be on the AOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatbloominplace Posted January 5, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2006 maryan, there are three "that bloomin' place" garden centers. they are each separately owned and operated. i happen to own the one located in scituate. we will be on the aos on feb. 12. how about you?

Rent-A-Guide Posted January 8, 2006 #8 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Maryan and Thatbloominplace, If it is by Landrover it is the same tour. And as far as I know, there are no other jeep safaris offered. I suspect that the tour has to be purchased through the aos. There are two dispatches, morning and afternoon. It will be quite a tide schedule to be back at ± 17.00 at your ship. You are adding ± 1.30 hours driving time to your schedule. What will give you only something more than 1 hour at Porto Marie.

Thisisliving Posted January 12, 2006 Author #9 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Steve - Unfortunately we will be on the AOS on Jan 29th. Bummer - it would have been nice to meet. Well when my husband wants to buy me flowers, I'll tell him to go to TBPlace in Scituate. Have fun on your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisisliving Posted January 12, 2006 Author #10 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Leo- Thanks for your update. I think we are definitely going to do it but we would book it through the ship - so the ship doesn't take off on us in case something happens. I'll look for you while I'm cruising around in the jeep.

cruisingrightalong Posted January 13, 2006 #12 Share Posted January 13, 2006 See if I understand.....Rent A Guide....if it is Landrover and it is...then the 3 hour tour for example in the morning....would allow us time to shop in afternoon? or see the town?

Rent-A-Guide Posted January 13, 2006 #13 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Correct Lou, we are usually back by 12.15. Henry"Leo"Plaate Rent-A-Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatbloominplace Posted January 23, 2006 #14 Share Posted January 23, 2006 hi leo, do you know if the vehicles are standard or automatic transmissions. haven't driven a standard since i was 16 and now is probably not the time to learn it. also, how many people to a vehicle? sounds like we are going to try this tour and then walk around the town. thanks, steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rent-A-Guide Posted January 26, 2006 #15 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Steve, You will be driven, we carry max. 9 pax./vehicle. Henry"Leo"Plaate Rent-A-Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
