Kon Tiki Party Cruise in St Thomas

[Lois R]

:) Hi...have any of ya'll been on the Kon Tiki Party Cruise in St. Thomas before?
Just wondered if it was like "The Fiesta Party Boat" in Cozumel?
Can anyone help me with this one? I know I could go to the Ports board but seems like the cruise board is always much more forthcoming with information.
Thanks:)

I was never on it, but I have watched people get off of it. You could hear it coming for about 10 minutes. (Loud music - shouting) We were on the ship and on our balcony watching. MANY people had to be "walked" onto the the ship by friends because they obviously had more than few too many ;)

Hi Matt:) ...okie dokie...must be the Party Boat......on the Western Itinerary I went on the "Fiesta Party Boat"...must me the same thing on the Eastern.

We went on this excursion a few years back. I think we were on an NCL cruise June 2000. Anyway, it's a big old, what I call, a barge. They took us to a "private" beach where we swam for a little while. The beach was very small and not all that great. We got free rum drinks. Once back onboard, they did the usual limbo dances and drinking games. If you are into that stuff, then you will have a great time. For us (in our late 30's at the time), been there, done that.

We did this excursion on Christmas Eve in 1998. It was just as described by the previous poster....except....that we had a great time. We went to Honeymoon beach on St. Johns....not a big beach...but clean and clear water. All the "boat people" had on Santa hats....we had a very amusing dance demonstration (on a raised platform) by several of the men on board (my husband included)....one guy was a bit longer than his swim trunks....and we (the womenfolk) just roared with laughter. He was dancin' and swayin' to the reggae music and it was just hilarious. He had a bit to drink, too. Nothing could be better for Christmas Eve......a great day in the Caribbean, swimming, sailing, rum punch, the warmth of the sun and a floor show!

If you like rum punch and a party you will def. get one on this boat.

Lois, this is a great excursion. I did it a few years back while in St. Thomas and really enjoyed it.

[Lois R]

Hi Doone:) I had fun on the one in Cozumel too!....thinking I might try this one...!

[doone]

I think you will like it Lois. BUT, sign up for it early, it tends to sell our quickly.

[Lois R]

Doone.... I will book it on line:) .....today or tomorrow!! That should be plenty early:D

[doone]

Lois, I don't think you can book this early for excursions, its something like 30 or 60 days prior to your sailing date. Someone else may have more information on this, I forgot.

[Lois R]

doone...you are correct...it is inside 60 days.....and I am under that time frame now:D

[elmorejj]

We have done this tour many, many times and always enjoy ourselves. It is one way for me to get some ocean swimming in The first time we did it was in 1982 and have been back almost every time we are in St. Thomas. It goes to Honeymoon beach on Water island, not St John. The same Capt. has been on the Kon Tiki for about 20 years. You`ll enjoy it....jean

[doone]

Oh boy Lois, I guess I forgot when you were going since my cruise is so far off.

[Vicar]

Did the Kon Tiki trip back in 1986 and it was a blast.

I remember the beach we stopped at was nothing special but everyone had a great time anyway. I guess the rum punch didn't hurt *LOL*

Yea I guess we were some of those people the previous poster heard 10 minutes before we actually docked *LOL*

But it was a good time, and as I remember there were all ages aboard having fun.

[Little Feet]

Sorry...I guess I did not know what Island I was on...but it was Honeymoon beach. We did have a great time.

[Lois R]

:) Thanks for all the replies.....Jean, I booked it today on-line....and one tour in Tortola...now that I have those taken care of I am happy:D .

I don't think I will book anything for Half-Moon Cay....I am guessing I can find a lounge chair near the water...bring a book and get a drink and have some food there and relax:).
And Nassau...I may take the Ferry to Atlantis...or just stay on the ship:D

[doone]

Good for you Lois, you'll enjoy it. How about parasailing at Half Moon Cay???? Its awesome at Half Moon Cay, I think you would enjoy it.

Lois-

This is party, party, party time! Last time (1999) the gals all went to the top of the barge and took off their tops!

Waved the their bikini tops all the way round the harbour! Great fun, and DH loved it!

Haven't done it since - we usually have the kids with us now. :)

[Lois R]

:) Hi Jean, I am going on a "Highlights of Tortola" Tour. Its 3 hours and sounds interesting to me.

ekerr....the gals took their tops off?:eek: I am no prude honest...but If I did that everyone would probably run in the other direction......

seriously - it happened! :D

everyone was having a great time - I doubt if anyone would run! It kinda became the thing to do - the rum punches sure didn't help any :eek:

[Lois R]

:) Thanks....the cruise is fun..but my top is staying on:D

[elmorejj]

Lois, I forgot to mention, if you go to www.********** and click on VI wallpaper, there is a picture of Honeymoon beach on Water Island. I use it for the wallpaper on my PC.....jean

[Lois R]
