SCUBA...LEARN
TO SCUBA DIVE IN 4 HOURS

| ST.
THOMAS T. Holcomb - 6/4/2003 |
| It
was fantastic. They picked us up as we got off
the ship. The instructor(his name was Zim) was
great. After a short bit of instruction we were
diving on a reef and a ship wreck. It was a
memory that will last a life time. I will be
recommending it to any of my clients that go to
St.Thomas. |

| Our
Shore trip on ST Thomas with "ZIM" and
co. was the best thing we did on our whole cruise!
My Daughter and I were the only two people on the
dive so we had undivided attention and the 2 dives
we did were fantastic - great water, fish, etc.
The other dive we did, through the ship on
Barbados, could not compare. Our compliments to
the dive shop staff and your company for finding
them. I certainly book again if I ever had another
opportunity to do so. |

THOMAS M. Grizzard - 4/9/2003
| First,
rather than simply answer your questions, I will
provide a short narrative on our experience with
the excursion we booked through ShoreTrips on
our recent Disney Cruise when it stopped in St.
Thomas. First, I thought registering for the
trip was extremely easy. Had it not been so
easy, I would not have used you guys. Second,
printing the voucherand simply handing it to the
trip rep was also very easy and I liked this.
Now for the actual trip. We stepped off the
cruise ship in St. Thomas and there waas a line
of about 10 people holding up small clip-board
sized posters. As I got close to them, one
poster said our name on it. I walked up to the
lady and told her who I was. She was very
friendly and asked to see my voucher. She then
welcomed us to the island and asked us to follow
her to her car, which was a short walk away. We
got to her car and began our 15 minute drive to
the other side of the island. She acted as a
tour guide and described various things we drove
past and gave us some history of the island. We
then started to talk about scuba diving. I
shared with her that I was already a certified
scuba diver. She asked about my son. I told her
that he had completed his classroom work, his
pool work and hisd first two open water dives.
All he needed was his third and fourth dives and
that is why we were doing the intro to scuba
class rather than a "normal" scuba
dive. She then said if we could contact his
instructor that their diving instructore was a
qualified universal referral instructor and my
son could do his dives that day and get
certified. When we got to their dive shop, they
called back to the United States and we
contacted my son's instructor and got the paper
work handled. The instructor then had my son get
in their pool and they reviewed some skills in
the pool. The instructor changed the two dives a
little to allow my son to demonstrate the skills
needed. To make a long story short, my son did
his third and fourth open water dives that
allowed him to get certified. They charged us an
extra fee for doing the certification. I found
the dive shop and boat to be safe and clean.
While there, we interacted with three people and
found all of them to be very knowledgeable and
friendly. I would recommend them to anyone
interested in doing some diving while in St.
Thomas. |

THOMAS Stephen - 3/27/2003 |
| This
excursion was fantastic! Bill and his staff could
not have been any nicer. I will continue to use
you as I cruise quite often and will recommend you
to anyone I speak with. Thanks for the follow-up
and for running a first class operation. |

THOMAS C. Brinkmeyer of Serenity Travel - 6/10/2002 |
|
| Three
of my clients took the "Learn to Scuba
Dive" trip and one other took the
"2-tank Dive" and they all had a great
time and said that their instructor was the best
they had ever had. They were very pleased. I
think that the prices were all very fair and I
was very pleased with everything. The entire
process was very smooth from the booking, to the
confirmation, to printing the vouchers. In fact,
I love the fact that you send the vouchers by
email! I will not hesitate to use ShoreTrips
again in the future. |

SCUBA...TWO
TANK SCUBA DIVE FOR CERTIFIED DIVERS
|
| ST.
THOMAS Valerie of Caldwell Travel & Tours -
3/20/2003 |
| They
were very pleased and were in a group total of 5
people, they loved that...Said that the ship shore
excursion looked like a herd of cattle. Thank you! |
| ST.
THOMAS M. Lea - 1/7/2003 |
| We
had an AWESOME time on our 2 Tank Dive. I was
happy with the price of the services provided,
good value and very competitive for the area. No
issues with finding the guide and they were very
friendly and made it an enjoyable trip. I myself
would have enjoyed doing a deeper dive just to
"do it", but otherwise it was nice to
dive in warm water and see the coral reef's and
tropical fish. Hope to return in the future and
dive again with your company. Thanks for the
great time! |

BOATING...ALL DAY PRIVATE LUXURY CRUISE AND SNORKEL TO
THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS |
| ST.
THOMAS D. Kalisz - 3/26/2003 |
| |
| I've
been meaning to write a letter..We had the BEST
TIME and it was the highlight of our trip!
Perfect weather, calm water, crystal clear,
meeting our captain was no problem at all. His
first mate, Eve, was great with the kids, really
kept them entertained. We never made it to the
Baths, but did go to the Norman Island Caves,
which the kids enjoyed. We went to St. John and
also hit the famous Willie T's Floating Bar.
Captain Ed was very, very informative, and knew
everything about everything. I have a great
picture of all of us on the boat. Give me your
address and I can send a picture. I felt the
price was right for 6 people and what everyone
got to experience, especially when you look at
how much they ask for other excursions. Anyway,
great trip had by all, and our cruise was
awesome also. Thanks! |

| POWER
RAFTING TO THE VIRGIN ISLANDS |
| ST.
THOMAS - 1/29/2003 |
| |
| I
have to say that our "Power Rafting"
trip was one of the highlights of our vacation.
We had a wonderful time with "Captain
Glen." He did a great job in making our
trip enjoyable and informative, and seemed to
have a wide base of knowledge of St. Thomas and
the surrounding islands. Our son (only 3 years
old) liked him so much that he remained on the
boat with Captain Glen, watching fish and boats
go by, while my husband and I took a quick
snorkel dip. Since we were the only family on
the boat, we felt that we couldn't have gotten a
better deal anywhere else; we still feel it
would have been a good price if there were other
travelers on board with us. To sum up, we had a
great time and will definitely take the trip
again the next time we are down your way. |

THOMAS B. Sherbanenko - 8/13/2002 |

| We
had a wonderful time. The ShoreTrips worked out
better than expected. The guides were exactly
where and when they said they would be. The
Power Raft trip was great, we were the only 5 on
the boat, so it was like a "private
tour". The guide was very knowledgeable and
took us to the best snorkeling spots. We found a
sea turtle and watched it feed below us, the
highlight of the trip. My family really
appreciated our tour when we pulled into a bay
and saw the ship's excursion, the people were
packed in side by side with life preservers on
(that alone had my kids counting their
blessings) and when Glen found out that they had
just gotten there, we just turned around and
went onto another spot. We were able to get on
and off, lay down and relax, have a soda. My
daughter didn't feel like snorkeling at one
point, so she just tanned on the boat and
visited with Glen and Greer. Even if there had
been more people, it would have been fine, as
your tour doesn't pack them in like the others
and it was less expensive and a longer tour. The
tour time coinsided perfectly with our ship's
arrival and departure times in port. We got into
a van as soon as we disembarked, arrived at the
raft right on time, had plenty of time to
snorkel and still had time for lunch and
shopping in town before departing. I guess you
can tell that we were more than satisfied! Thank
you again for all your help in making our cruise
complete!! |

SAILING
AND SNORKELING... THE DAY AWAY IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
|
| ST.
THOMAS R. Mattes - 7/1/2003 |
| |
| The
Sail and Snorkel Day in St. Thomas was
incredible and definitely the highlight of our
cruise! The captain and mate made us feel very
at ease and took great care of us. The weather
wasn't perfect in the morning, however we made
the best of it and had a great time sailing in
the rain! The rain subsided by the time we
reached St. John and the snorkeling was supurb.
We have snorkeled in many places and this was
definately the best! The captain gave us ample
time to snorkel, and then following a nice
lunch, we made our way back to St. Thomas. We
will definately recommend this trip to our
friends and family and hope to make it back one
day ourselves. Also, your company was wonderful.
Prior to booking the excursion, I called to ask
a few questions and Barry was very helpful and
gave wonderful recommendations. Thanks for
everything! |

| We
enjoyed our sail very much, had an absolutely
wonderful time. Sharon, our captain, was great
and her boat was beautiful. I would recommend
this trip to anyone. We definately felt the trip
was worth the money. Had no problems finding our
wonderful captain. The whole day was perfect. |

SAILING

THOMAS L. Koller - 3/20/2003 |
| |
| I
had a wonderful time on my vacation. The First
Rate Day Sail was exactly FIRST RATE!!! My
sister-in-law has never been anywhere and we had
a great time. The price was right!!! Capt. Mike
was a lot of fun! Overall, EXCELLENT!!! |

| SAILING
AND SNORKELING...HALF-DAY ON A CATAMARAN |
| ST.
THOMAS K. Ruckert - 12/23/2003 |
| |
| The
six in our party who went on this excursion
absolutely loved it. They loved the snorkeling
and thought they were very well taken care of on
the boat. They all came back to the ship saying
it was "the best." |
|
|

| ST.
THOMAS K. Miller - 3/18/2003 |
| |
| Honestly,
the trip that we booked through ShoreTrips was
the best event that happened to us. We were on
the "Carnival Triumph" and didn't want
to get back on the boat. The 1/2 day sail was
the perfect amount of time! The weather was
perfect and they kept our drinks full!
Snorkeling was a little disappointing, as there
were not many fish, however we saw a giant sea
turtle on our way to the snorkeling location
.... very cool! The trip was absolutely worth
the price! In fact, besides the time (which fit
into our port schedule on the cruise) we decided
to take this 1/2 day sail solely because of the
price... and the free drinks! Our Captain was
excellent! He definitely knew the waters, and
made sure that we all had a great time. The two
workers were very nice, and had so much to talk
about. Being 21, they were about my age, but
they were great with everyone of all ages. |

| SNUBA
UNDERWATER ADVENTURE IN ST. THOMAS |
| ST.
THOMAS S. Combs - 3/18/2004 |
| |
| Our
SNUBA excursion was absolutely wonderful. Both
my husband and I were a little nervous, but now
we both want to become certified divers! SNUBA
is the perfect excursion for those that aren't
quite ready for SCUBA but are getting a little
bored with the typical snorkeling trip. Oh,
there were only 4 customers on our excursion,
(my husband and I and another couple), so
everyone in the cruise ship cattle call lines
were envious!) By the way, many ships don't even
offer this excursion! |

The
shoretrip we booked with you went very well. In
fact, it was the highlight of our cruise. We did
the SNUBA. Overall, it was fantastic. My family
and I had a great time. It was defintely worth
the price. We took a Taxi directly to the place
where our excursion was and the guides were
waiting for us. The guides were very friendly
and patient with us because this was the 1st
time we did SNUBA.
Highly recommend this one. We loved it. |

I
have to say that the ShoreTrips experiences were
wonderful! My friend
and I had a fabulous time on both ShoreTrips
excursions we took. The Snuba Underwater
Adventure was our favorite trip and it was very
much worth the price.
The weather was beautiful, albeit hot, but still
very perfect for a day for
swimming. We found our guides with ease. The
guides were very knowledgeable and friendly, and
I felt safe during the entire snuba adventure. I
will definitely recommend this trip for any
beginners of the underwater trips. The entire
ShoreTrips process, payments, vouchers, and all
was worth it. The ease of the
ShoreTrips planning guides and bookings will
persuade me to use you again
for future trips and recommend you to anyone
interested. Thank you to the
ShoreTrips staff, you, and your extended staff
for giving my friend and I a
wonderful time at our ports of call! |

| This
was my husband's favorite ShoreTrip. The
gentleman who taught us was extrememly
professional and personable; he almost felt like
family. The trip was well worth the price. We
will use and recommend ShoreTrips in the future! |

THOMAS D. Mckenna - 4/2/2002 |

| Our
vacation was wonderful and the helicopter trip
was one of our highlights. It was a wonderful
trip and the pilot was very knowledgeable. It
was easy enough to find and well worth the money
we paid. |

| GOLF
THE FAMOUS MAHOGANY RUN |
| ST.
THOMAS S. Sisselsky of Longwood Travel Inc. - 3/20/2003 |
| |
| My
client said the course was breathtaking! And he
missed a hole in 1 on the first hole by 20 ft!!!
He took a cab to the course and they were
waiting for him. He had called over in the AM to
see if he could bring his 8yr. old daughter
along to ride in the cart. They were most
accomodating. Thank you for all of your
assistance. I will be recommending your tours to
other clients in the future. |

| ST.
THOMAS B. Turtle - 1/11/2003 |
| |
| Mahogany
Run is a spectacular golf course. We really
enjoyed our day. Your service was excellent; my
emails were responded to promptly and Barry
helped out in booking an additional trip as I
contacted him from the ship. I will recommend
your company. Keep up the good work! |

| HISTORIC
HIGHLIGHTS OF CHARLOTTE AMALIE ON FOOT |
| ST.
THOMAS A. Carder - 3/17/2003 |
| |
| We
had a GREAT time! We had a private tour by Doug,
who was great and was a volunteer, and he
wouldn't even take our tip! He offered to let us
join a group from the cruise ship or take a
private tour. This trip was very informative,
and knowing that the money was going to restore
buildings in town, we did not mind the price. I
think ShoreTrips is a great service and look
forward to using you again soon! |
