    Glad to see these comments. Like the author of this thread my group was suppose to go in 2020 also. Pandemic changed everything. And we are now on the Avalon IV July 2-9. We've paid the extra $150. However getting to Cuba has become a bit more complicated since Santa Clara airport is not open...

    Nekton boats may come back!!

    Was on the last voyage of the Pilot with my group. I was the trip leader. Our trip was a disaster. Had to be pulled in by 2 tug boats. Owner promised us our next trip would be free. We were never compensated. 😪

    Airfares to the Caribbean

    I actually had to change my club trip at the last minute. We were trying to go to Roatan this July. Price was $800+. None of us could afford that. So I found something in Cozumel. Flights were $450-$500. That's were all 10 of us will be. I wrote 2 resorts one in Roatan and the other in...

    Nekton boats may come back!!

    If it had not been for my travel agent, when we got to shore, we would have had to make our flight arrangements then. But as soon as we could get cell phones service (we were still being towed by a tiny tugboat) I was able to get our air reservations changed (4 out of 6 travelers had their...

    Trip Insurance is such a laugh. It covers what it wants to cover. Such as if you had a failed trip on the Pilot, which as we did, but because the boat went out, no refund. It didn't matter that the itinerary was not satisfied (i.e., we were stuck in one location because the Pilot needed...

    Nekton (Bad News)

    A few years ago we were booked on teh Nekton in Belize and got fogged in in Chicago. The travel insurance (the same that just denied us) paid a hotel in Houston, dinner, $1,600 to a water taxi to ferry us out to the Pilot and 1/7th of the cost of the trip because we missed a day. To say they...

    DD we were lied to and taken for our money when JD knew he was going under. So please don't blame our present President for JD's demise, because this is not political and it is not his fault about the economy. That's what he walked into. Second, where do you get off by saying the Belizean...

    Say goodbye to the Nekton Pilot

    The Aggressor/Sun Dancer Fleet has stepped up to the plate. And for that I am truly grateful. However, those of us that were on the Pilot August 8-15, 2009 when the boat was stranded most of the time and we had to be towed in and were promised trips that we didn't have to pay for, we are still...

    I have been on both the Blackbeard and the Aqua Cat. Loved them both. Loved the Blackbead better when it was docked in Florida. But if you don't camping, then the Blackbeard is not for you. Aqua Cat is fantastic, neither of them change there itinerary though.

    Well, with the service that they have provided, which was rotten, I really don't expect them to call and say "sorry we are closing our doors." They weren't honest about their business in the first place. Don't expect them to have integrity now.

    Amen DiverDoug1. Me and 5 others in my crew, 21 all together with the other people on our boat were promised not one but two free cruises. We were booked for July 10th. Now I have to go back and tell my 5 that we are SOL. This is the nightmare a travel agent doesn't want regardless if your...
