request for bids/info

I know that the clique that seems to run this newsgroup is going to
have an apoplexy over this, but I really don't give a royal rats ass.
As long as you continue to allow travel agents like Ray Goldenberg to
openly advertise under the premise of posting thinly modified press
releases as news while removing the cruise line contact information
and adding his travel agency contact information, then as far as I'm
concerned any travel agent can advertise here and anyone can seek
information and pricing from those who do. So take your holyer than
thou attitudes and stick it where the sun don't shine.


Looking for information and bids for the following:

A 7-14 day cruise, leaving from Florida or the middle east coast,
that allows one to bring their personal motorcycle along and
offload/ride it on the Carib islands visited by the cruise. Anytime
in 2009 is fine as dates are open. Cruise line is open, but we prefer
smaller ships. Currently have in excess of 30 cruises under our belt
with the majority on Princess and HAL, but have sailed on Carnival,
RC, Azamara, Radisson and others. I know for certain that RC does
this on Freedom of the Seas, but we're also open to something else.

Want no less then a oceanview or balcony cabin.

Email address is valid once you remove the spam block. It was setup
specifically for this newsgroup and any attempt to spam by members of
the clique of this news group it will result in a mail flood in
return that you really won't like. Take it for what its worth.

If I were a cruise line owner, I wouldn't let random people load their
explosive-filled vehicles into my ships. Much risk, little payback.

Please respond here when you get this booked!

I'd be surprised if any of the travel agents here respond. Sometimes
it is a good idea to choose your customers.

I'll respond.

No way, no day. Something about explosive-filled vehicles and much
risk, little payback. But I think someone else pointed that out.

BikeRider50, I have checked with every line that meets your
requirement of departures. ALL, without expection, said NO. All
suggested multiple excursions where you can rent a bike. Mostly
Harleys, but one that I found independently also had some Triumphs and
BMWs and one rented Ducatis, but they required that you buy some
outrageously priced insurance. But the nice man said that they did
very good business.

My son-in-law a Harley owner and rider (a few days ago in the snow)
was looking into:
www.cruise-eta.com

Click on Theme Cruises in the box on the left hand top of the screen.
It takes you to what they have available for 2009 and 2010. We were
on Explorer of the Seas and heard the engines. Ran to the pier side
of the ship and watched as 30 or 40 bikes came down the ramp. What a
sound, ok stop me, I get carried away.

The problem we were going to run into was getting the bike from
Bensalem, PA to Miami in the winter.

Hope this helps.

Kate, wasn't that one of the GGCs? I was on the Disney Magic the same
week and doing the same ports. We were supposed to dock in St. Thomas,
but the schedule changed and we had to tender instead. We were told that
it was because of a "moter cycle" cruise and of course they had to dock.lol

Aren't you allowed to transport motorcycles in the Guard's Van of trains in
your Country? Amtrak Silver Star Philadelphia to Miami.

No "guards van's" on Amtrak trains. Sometimes not
even any luggage service at all - just schlep your
own into a pile at the end of the car. They will
take bicycles but nothing containing flammable
materials. Train service in the U.S. is generally
a bit rugged and EXPENSIVE.

They will take motorcycles on one train, the Auto Train which runs from
Lorton, Virginia (near Washington DC) to Sanford Florida (near
Orlando).

Sue,

I wasn't on that GGC. One I had to miss for some reason or other but
I did hear about the Harleys there. It made me go look for how to do
it for Troy. And I believe that that was the one that the Captain of
the ship also had his Hog with him and led the parade. (that one may
have been on another cruise, will have to look ino my notes when I get
a chance.)

I did hear, and I do have notes on it, regarding a cruise where at
every port there is a Harley waiting for you. Someone was telling me
about it at the store in St. Maarten. You booked the cruise, paid
your money and were able to leave the ship at every port (was an
Eastern St Maarten, St Thomas and can't remember where else) and you
would go to a Harley store/where ever and pick out the bike from their
inventory and ride it all over the lsland - with a guide.
