I really enjoyed these videos, thanks for sharing! We cruise about the same time next year, January 2-9, 2010. I couldn't tell from the video, were you happy with Eli's Eco Tour and Cosol's tour? I could tell you enjoyed Silver Moon, we don't go to Barbados, but it looks beautiful!

i just watched your videos and enjoyed them. My daughter and boyfriend on cruising right now on the same cruise and so I felt like we were with them. We just got back from Celebrity's Constellation doing the same islands and we also had a great time. We did Cosol Tours and had a blast. Thank you for sharing.

Glad you liked the videos.

I wish you were going a week later next year....Rosie and I are doing a B2B starting the 9th...

Yes, we enjoyed Eli's a lot, in fact, we are doing it again next year!

The Cosol tour was fabulous and very informative as well. I highly recommend it if you want a comprehensive overview of the Island with a little of everything to make it very interesting!

Bill, Thanks for making this video. This is my third time to view it and I love it. Rick said you sound like Ed Bagley Jr. LOL I am thinking about booking the Silver Moon. Was it real expensive? Looks like it would be.

Deb, the 4 of us did Silvermoon II a few years ago, and it was terrific. It was $80+ then. I don't think they have both boats anymore, and I'm not sure how much it is now. It was definitely worth what we paid, though.

We were on the week of 1/17-1/24/s009. The Silvermoon catamaran was the HIGHLIGHT of the trip by far !!! Thx for the video of it.

We loved the service and the limited number of people on the Silvermoon! They are AA+++ all the way.

Glad you enjoyed the cruise and the video!
