Looks like the party is underway this morning.

Matt-- Anyone have any actual sightings?

That is exactly what I imagined!😂

LOL!

Spring Bay has been targeted for excursions by cruise lines? Are they providing amenities like at Long Bay, East?
Next it will be Savannah Bay…

The Carib is shrinking faster and faster as the cruise industry caters to today’s “travelers”…

Spring Bay? Did something new happen there? I have only ever seen the crowds descend on The Baths. Even when they are crawling like ants over there we are usually left alone at SB.

I have seen Spring Bay on some private excursion lists, but nothing like The Baths or Long Bay East. Concerns have been expressed about the over-use of The Baths, hence the one-way path. The issue is with more and larger cruise ships, there is a constant hunt for new and different shore options.

The ridiculous thing is the $$$$$ spent on bringing millions of tons of sand to Brandywine Bay for the cruise ship excursions.All I have ever seen there are goats and a few kids with radio controlled boats.Bring them to Brandywine Bay and stop wrecking the islands..PLEASE. Natures Little Secrets???Seriously?????

Well, looks like it’s official…

No reviews yet so probably a relatively new excursion. Also no mention of amenities..

A Trellis Bay/Guana option I didn’t know existed..

Sigh. Pretty soon those cruise ship crowds will be everywhere. I do not like anything about cruise ships. I have seen the negative consequences in far too many places.

The irony of the NCL description is stunning, "Although the setting is practically identical to the more famous beach at The Baths, (there) won’t be nearly as many people. "
Pogo, "We have seen the enemy and it is us"
Good grief.

So they are doing excursions onto Guana? I thought Guana was totally private? That's the whole selling point I thought-that they allow only like 35 guests at a time (or rent the whole island yourself)? I can't imagine exclusive guests to Guana wanting to share it with day trippers from cruise lines. Or am I misreading or getting this all wrong?

The cruise ship industry is mean, ugly and ruthless. They generally find a way to get what they want.

All beaches are public so technically they can land guests wherever they like and occupy up to the high water mark. Surprised that Guana will tolerate it however. Seems you just can’t escape them nowadays no matter how hard you try. At least Anegada is spared this menace - for now.

The fact that Guana is tolerating it is what made me give pause. There's no way their guests would be happy about this. And there is also no way tour operators are keeping day trippers to the high water mark. Keeping cruisers in line is like herding cats.
This is all just so unfortunate and sad.
Follow the money.....
