maggieq Posted March 8, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Have asked a question and heard back from Godfrey the next day (to explain tour). Tried to reserve on Saturday for an 11:00 a.m. pick up (since we would rather do less town time). No response. Sent again on Sunday and still no response. Does anyone have his email address, that would be different from the address the reservation went to? Thanks. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb Posted March 8, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2005 same happened to me. I asked question... I heard from him the next day. 2 days ago I made reservations for our upcoming cruise. Have yet to hear from him. I'm sure he's not responding right away because he's busy. Before answering an email with yes or no, he needs to check to see how many have booked and if there's still room. It's much easier to reply to an email where a just a question is being asked.

Pisgah Posted March 9, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 9, 2005 sunnyliston.com offers the same tour for the same price in St. Thomas. He will call you and speak to you personally. I booked with him instead of Godfrey because it took a week for Godfrey to get back with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry1763 Posted March 9, 2005 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I received a response from Godfrey yesterday, after waiting over a week. He said that he was off the island attending the funeral of a family member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb Posted March 9, 2005 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I guess we sometimes forget that business people do have personal lives as well. I'm sure he's busy now catching up on all the emails and reservations that have piled up since his absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieq Posted March 9, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I hope he does get back to me soon. I am patient but it is not real good business practice to let days go by... Does anyone have his direct email address (not website)? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry1763 Posted March 9, 2005 #7 Share Posted March 9, 2005 the e-mail address he used to send a message to me was godfrey@godfreytoursvi.com It is the same as his website. Just trying to help another Bergen County resident. See you at the Garden State Plaza shopping for cruise clothes!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb Posted March 9, 2005 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Bergen County?? We have friends who cruise with us every year. They live in Ramsey :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieq Posted March 10, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Thanks. I am two towns away. B'friend lived there for 12 years. Anyway, I think I will give up on Godfrey and find something else. I would of thought he would, if he is booked, send something back either way. I see on his book that he asks people to sign messages similiar to mine.....no answer.

stan wood Posted March 11, 2005 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I had the same experience as Rick. After not hearing from Godfrey, I went back to the Virtual St. Thomas site and learned of Sunny. I e-mailed him and had a phone call in a couple hours. After talking to him, we booked (8 of us) with Sunny and had a fabulous time. According to other posts, he is the same price and offers more flexibility. We would strongly recommend Sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyw92 Posted March 11, 2005 #11 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks for the information about the Sunny Liston tours. We had heard of the Godfrey Tours, but not Sunny Liston. I want to note that the website is http://sunnylistontours.com Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieq Posted March 12, 2005 Author #12 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I emailed Godfrey again and, of course, no response. Heard about Airforce1.com and emailed them and ......no response. I'm starting to think it might be a day on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly's Mom Posted March 12, 2005 #13 Share Posted March 12, 2005 What is the website for Godfrey tours? Has anyone used them or Sunny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan wood Posted March 12, 2005 #14 Share Posted March 12, 2005 We used Sunny and thoroughly enjoyed him. If you have specific questions, feel free to e-mail me directly at d_sedy@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb Posted March 12, 2005 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Gee, I went to Sunny Liston's website. Looks EXACTLY the same as Godfrey's website. I wonder who copied who???? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintstone Posted March 12, 2005 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I'm having the same problem. One week and no response from Godfrey so I am considering switching to Sonny or Timmy www.timmytours.com . One question about this type of tour...how many people do they "cram" into these safari-type vehicles? The pictures on all the web-sites look awfully "cozy" if you know what I mean ;) . As DH and I are on the "fluffy" side...just don't want to be packed in like sardines. Thanks Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonna go cruising Posted March 13, 2005 #17 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Godfrey is wonderful. Just got back from our cruise. He had just gotten back on the island due to a death of a family member the day we took the tour. This was last Tuesday. I called his cell from the dock since we were unsure where to meet and he made sure one of his men picked us up pronto. I later checked email and he let me know that he had been off the island and unable to get email and apologized. He gives a great tour and I highly recommend it.

maggieq Posted March 14, 2005 Author #18 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I finally heard back from godfrey. Too bad though,already got a confirmation from Sunny Liston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb Posted March 14, 2005 #19 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Just made a copy of email from Godfrey reserving our 10am pickup from ship for his tour this July. :D He apologized for the delay in responding due to him being off the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel*lady Posted March 14, 2005 #20 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I had emailed Godfrey on Friday trying to make reservations for next week. When I didn't hear back by Sunday evening I email Sunny. I had a response and reservation confirmation late Sunday night.:) I'm sure Godfrey is good too, he is probably just having trouble catching up from being away. But I was concerned about getting reservations on such short notice so I am glad Sunny got back to me so quickly!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpitula Posted March 17, 2005 #21 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I emailed him four times so far since 3/11 and even called his cell on 3/16 and have not heard from him yet. I suppose I will give him one more day and then probaly book with Sunny Liston. Even though I am not keen on the fact that Sunny says he will have us back at the ship at 4:00 island time which is 3:00 ship's time and our ship does not leave until 6:00.

stan wood Posted March 18, 2005 #22 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I don't think you'll find much difference in the return time from Godfrey to Sunny. If you look at their websites, the tours are very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpitula Posted March 19, 2005 #23 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I guess persistance pays off - heard from Godfrey Tours today - we are booked and can't wait to see some sunshine!! It's cold in the northern part of the country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
