Figure out how many dinners you need to plan on board. Split the number between the couples. Come up with simple suggestions for dinner. Grilled steak and salad, chicken, tacos, etc. If they choose not to choose then they are responsible for buying dinner out for everyone on those nights. You will provision for your choices and they can buy you dinner out for the rest.

Hope their not expecting a luxury cruise ship experience. Best to set some expectations ahead of time.
Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!

I was told once that when you charter with other couples you will either come home best of friends or.....well, you get the idea. Hopefully this will be the only major difference of opinion on what may well be a long vacation - and not in a good way!!

If you are planning the trip, I'd make it simple - dictate what you will be doing. I've always sent out a list or order form to those in the group to get their input on what we should get.
At the same time, I'd make sure everyone is willing to pay their share and perhaps determine how all costs will be handled up front just to avoid any other issues.

mollster said: Hello community ... any of you have sage advice for me ... a multi charter'er ... who had invited newbies who are not jiving with the need to plan an execute provisioning ahead of charter ? Tired the soft approach and looking for an easier, more inclusive method. Your advice ? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Just make the meal plan and order the provisions yourself as you know what works best on the boat. I have also had issues with crew not wanting to take the time to plan prior to the trip, so we just take care of it. We know our crews and know what they like and generally keep it simple. We assign a couple one night to be in charge of cooking, we all pitch in for the clean ups.

calsail said:I provision for breakfast, lunch, and alcohol and snacks for happy hour. We eat dinner our every night. This is how we do it, too. Well, we eat dinner out MOST nights. Sometimes we have lunch out so we'll have one of those planned lunches as dinner. It is certainly not the most budget-friendly way to do it, but it seems like the easiest and breaks up the evening nicely
