Moorings-Mariner Inn Road Town

... I am unable to comment on the quality of the sushi itself because the whole experience was completely soured by the offensive and obnoxious host/owner, a Scot called Alan. Honestly, this man needs a crash course in customer service - he is downright rude, and unless somebody can give me a very, very good reason to make a return visit, I shall not! It's a real shame because I believe he could have made a really good go of it.

... t, the fact the property is child friendly does not detract, as this is a fantastic house for adults, just the same. <br><br>Finally we found the owners very easy to work with. They live in the UK and we managed the business side of the rental over the Internet and via FedEx. I was a bit nervous about managing such a transaction, with private individuals, over the Internet; but I took a leap of faith and it paid off. The owners ...

... week. Goodbyes were exchanged with our dear British friends that we made during the last two weeks at our 2nd dinner seating and to other friends made on the ship.<br><br>Being our last evening on board of Caribbean Princess, regretfully, we retreated to our room early in the evening in order to start packing in preparation of tomorrow's disembarkation day. We were informed by Princess that all of our luggages had to be outside the room's door by ...

... gate of the Baths park, we were instructed that there were two different trails that would bring us to two different beaches. One trail being further away while another one, closer. Our adventurous side voted for the furthest trail. <br><br>Therefore, off we went, with bathing suits under our clothes, down the marked small uneven rocky trail that had a variety of cactuses and trees as surroundings. As we made our way around several ...

... on the port by 8:30am.<br><br>The US Virgin Islands, which are comprised of several small islands, are America's paradise and offers a blend of island ways and American customs. The capital of St. Thomas is Charlotte Amalie and the island is 40 miles east of Puerto Rico. The island has stunning views with crystalline waters, white sandy beaches and palms trees. Its northern coast borders the ...

... tropical food and cocktails. We spent one free day enjoying the delicacies, beach and boats before our exodus to an even more secret location where our shows happened. The entire island had been booked for the event in advance. The event itself was relaxed and informal but attended by celebrities, super-stars and billionare magnates whom I saw but cannot name, and they all had a great time. I'd love to mention the world famous live band that played there. Together we all ...

... people to the departure lounge, we bought a couple of sandwiches to go, then went through security. Ate in the departure lounge, with plenty of time before we were led out to the plane. Fun, on the flight to San Juan, to look down at the islands where we had sailed. The water seemed very tourquoise from the air. Upon arriving San Juan, we had a long walk to Immigration, but we were second in "line". So no wait at all ...

... us at our table, but, since the light did not shine on the food, it didn't seem to matter. We enjoyed the atmosphere ... and the spiced rum in our coffee. (Plus, Marin got to see Tiara Girl again...) <br><br>After dinner, we walked the length of the BEYC grounds. To the north, we rounded the point across from Saba Rock and walked along the path, lit by filagree lanterns, to the end of the road. Retracing our steps, we then walked to the south along the path towards the isthmus ...

... It was a windy day today and so the batteries are getting charged up with the wind generator, which means that we don't have to listen to the engine running. We have had mostly breezy days so far and have only had to charge one day with the engine. There have been lots of thundershowers to go along with the wind. A tropical wave is suppose to pass over us on the weekend and so that will mean stronger wind and even more rain. We are thinking of heading over to ...

what an exciting experience this is becoming. we were meant to leave today at 11:00 but are still here!!!. It is one thing after another. As will be come apparent when or if i get a chance to tell the story in full. the more maintenance we carry out the more that goes wrong or we find wrong. today it was the engines turn again. having spent 2 days at sea working on it and a further day and half here we had it back together ready to run. we went to open the sea ...
