Once you have completed the steps (detailed above), you will have a trip planned. This information can be sent to our Reservations Office; one of our Travel Planners will then contact you to confirm and book your reservation. This information can be shared with friends or family members (via email). Or, this information can be saved for quick reference at a future date. For those of you planning an Admiral's Package vacation, we would recommend a minimum of a seven night stay. In our experience, it takes about that long to arrive, adjust to island time, enjoy yourself and the place, and take part in a healthy number of the activities we offer and leave refreshed and rejuvenated. An ideal stay would be 10-14 days, where you will be able to take advantage of every activity and excursion at least once. Of course, if time is no object, two to three months is great. But, whether you visit for one night or a thousand and one nights, you will find it time well spent. We look forward to seeing you! Already have a trip planned?
