Thank you Mark...This is a game changer...27 of 31 days has cruise ships of over 1500 people on Tortola and 19 in VG sound...I have been researching and planning this for weeks and now I am seriously considering going somewhere else...I am very much attracted to the much sleepier vibe of BVI compared to other islands...but with thousands of mostly rude and drunk cruise passengers I do not see how that squares with the low key vibe we seek...what say you?
