Trike boat cruise from NJ

[Bikerbozo]

If anyone is interested, I am in talks with ETA Travel to book a trike cruise that leaves NJ (just outside NYC) from March 19, 2012 to March 30, 2012.
You ride the trike onto cruise ship and then ride off for tours of various Caribbean islands.
Home page link is ENTERTAINMENT & TRAVEL ALTERNATIVES, INC. click on "Events" on right side to see all dates and destinations available(and costs).
Or go directly to Events « ENTERTAINMENT & TRAVEL ALTERNATIVES, INC.
They have 2-wheel cruises that leave from other locations, but trikes can only go from NJ. Insurance on islands is taken care of also. There are 2 phone numbers on their web site. I have been talking with Tammi.
If anybody is interested in joining me and the wife, it looks interesting. Note that electric scooters (for getting around ship if you can't walk well) and handicap accessible rooms are available also (and no, I am not getting paid to push this. I wish!).

B'bozo, one reason we stopped going to Mexico (besides the drug war problems, of course) is that too many bikes/trikes were getting stolen. Is there such a problem on any of the Caribbean islands? Are the local excursions going to be escorted??

[Bikerbozo]

The excursions are escorted by either police and/or tour guides according to their web site. One thing I forgot to mention. If someone wants to trailer to boat, there is $18/day parking at the dock for car and trailer. Never know when that late season snow storm strikes. There is also a good rate at local hotel for those that want to arrive night before and for $10/day can leave car/trailer at hotel. I live about 70 miles East of cruise if someone coming far wanted to leave car/trailer at my house. I am on dead end in suburban area.

Wow Andrew! What a neat idea! We cannot do it this spring, but something we can think about. Thanks!

Just got go ahead from work for dates. Talked to ETA travel (also talked with owner Steve, if I remembered his name correctly). I just left them deposit for trip and they will send me full info.
So the end result is that I am booked and going on March 19-30th. It's the day after my wifes birthday. Anybody think I will get away with telling her this is her present?

NOT!!! But you might get away with some lovely purchases while on the trip!

Best of both worlds!! Cruising and riding across some of the carribean islands would be great!! Can't do it this year but will check back to see how your trip turns out.

All booked up and ready to go. They tell me there are a couple of other trikes on this cruise. Anybody want to 'fess up?
