Grand Case and Captain Frenchyerb923Yesterday at12:13 PMGrand Case is one truly beautiful beach. Great lunch at Frenchys and the special scallops were excellent. Slight service mishap as it seems like our waitress just disappeared halfway through and caused some issues. They charged us for an extra bottle of wine, was the table next door. Saw after paying but went back with receipt and they gave us 32€ back.
A wonderful day, hopefully nothing happened behind the scenes in regards to service/waitress.
Fronier/Intercaribbean/SpiritFirstMate4Life01/27/202607:45 PMGood afternoon all, looking to fly into EIS in April. It's pretty astonishing how much cheaper flying a combination of Frontier/Intercaribbean/Spirit is compared to other carriers. I understand some of that may be because of having to pay for things like carry on bags, although I think I have it pegged where the extra fees aren't really that bad. Does anyone have any complete and total disaster stories so as not to go with the cheaper flights? The old saying is if anything is too good to be true....but to us, the airline flights down aren't worth the double pricing, and we spend our savings on a better experience while in the BVI. Curious for any feedback. Thank you in advance.
I miss the glory days of TTOLMarkS01/27/202604:02 PMI've been a member of this board since my first bareboat charter in 2005. The people here have always been friendly and helpful. The site has slowed down in recent years, presumably having lost viewers to the Facebook BVI chat. I have to say people on that other chat tend to be vicious and horrible to each other! We need to get the good people back here! Let's get the secret TTOL handshake going again!
Maho beach SXMColour101/27/202611:44 AMI feel like I have to inform all you cruisers that when booking a day trip to the most exciting beach on the island of St. Martin at Maho beach!!! What they don't tell you, that they drop you off at Maho beach on the Dutch side of the island with NO chairs or umbrellas. Leaving you to stand all day, no bathrooms either!!! SMH!!! See for yourself. This is the camera way above Tortuga restaurant (amazing food, great views too!!) over looking Maho beach and PJIA . On busy days when there is more than a few ships in, this beach is wall to wall crowded!!! Pay the extra money, take the Orient beach day trip!! There you will find chairs umbrellas and beach food/drink service!!! You'll thank me!!!
I'm wondering if the service charge includes the tip for the waitress or is it strictly for the staff? I know this was an interesting topic a few years ago.
Shovel seaweedRonDon01/26/202607:09 PMI felt the need to post that attempting to shovel through 24" of snow I told myself it was seaweed and that as soon as I finished I could jump in the ocean.
