Seeking Comments on "Harleys in Paradise" Shore Ex

[AlphaGeek]

Hi everyone. I'm new to this Board. We're planning on cruising Princess' Caribbean Princess in mid February 2007. One of the shore excursions that I'm very interested in is "Harleys in Paradise" while we're on St. Maarten. I'm a long-time touring motorcyclist, although I've been off of a bike for the last 3 years. I'm interested in anyone's comments on this particular shore ex, including reliability of bikes, route taken, service of staff, etc. Thanks greatly!

I have been to St. Maarten on cruises 3 times. Although I have my MC license, I have not taken the excursion. There is one main road that goes all the way around the island, and depending on the time of day and season, the road is very crowded and slow with traffic. I would not try it for this reason. I'm sure there are others who have done this, so hopefully they will respond to you.

We are also Harley riders, and, like the above poster, the congestion on the main road, as well as the many pot holes, have deterred us from taking the excursion, but I would love to hear that someone took it and enjoyed it, as it would probably sway us.

Harleys in Paradise (St. Maarten) - Motorcycle riders will be in "hog heaven" with this new opportunity to tour St. Maarten's scenic highlights on a Harley-Davidson. The guided ride takes in a number of stunning coastal views plus beach time at the island's most popular beach, hailed as the "French Riviera of the Caribbean."

My son just bought a HOG and asked us if we would try find a shirt. We saw there was a store in Aruba near the ship. So we bought him some.
