ssbeard1 Posted June 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I contacted Stanley after several recommendations from these boards. I spoke to him twice - once about six weeks out and then again two weeks out to confirm the Date and the time for pick up. He is assured me all was good and he would be there. Since our ship left Miami on Sunday and would arrive in Saint Thomas on Wednesday he told me to call the Sunday that we were leaving as a reminder to him, which I did ..... I did not get him but his voicemail picked up. I left him a message reminding him of the time, date and ship ( we were the only ship in port that day ) He was not there when we got into port. The taxi drivers knew who you was.... they contacted him with their phone and let me talk to him. he denied ever talking to me or me ever leaving him a message and said he would not be there. The phone number I had for him was the exact number the taxi drivers had. I would say if you were planning to do an island tour with him to have a back up plan.

blue_water Posted June 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2017 That is very strange indeed - Stanley has always been a very stand-up guy from our experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbeard1 Posted June 21, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I actually thought maybe something had happened to him - sick, injured, etc. since I had heard positive things about him - maybe this was a fluke, just wanted to give a heads up.

ssbeard1 Posted June 22, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Just us two - from my conversation with him I don't think he has a taxi just his regular car (I could be wrong). we wound up doing the open air taxi Saint Thomas tour - which I would never do again.

blue_water Posted June 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2017 He had a van when we had a tour with him, very personable and a nice private tour for our two couples. Really a shame to see this thread with this title, but I certainly understand your disappointment based on your info. Just doesn't make sense!

Laszlo Posted July 7, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The first giveaway to me is he told you to call him on Sunday as a reminder? :') The man doesn't have a calendar, thats crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted July 9, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'm sorry this happened to you. I can't imagine tour guide not showing. Having to reconfirm a few days before your arrival seems strange. I hope you ended up having a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
