• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs.

Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage.

Spyderlovers Cruise & Key West Ryde.Dec 2014

Lamonster of Spyderlovers,Reggy of Tricled and myself of Sunbird Cruise &Travel have been in discussion about having a Spyder Cruise as well as a 2 day ryde through The Keys from Ft Lauderdale to Key West. and have held 50 cabins at a knocked down rate on Royal Caribbeans Liberty of The Seas 4 nt cruise 11th-15th Dec.We have balcony cabins @$555.00per person and inside cabins @$430.00per person.These prices include all port charges and gvt fees which total $179.30pp.There are no big Spyder events this time of year and a cruise on one of the top Royal Caribbean ships at a price like this coupled with a 2 day ryde from Ft Lauderdale through The Florida Keys to Key West sounds like a lot of fun..The itinerary of the cruise is 11 Dec board at midday,12th Dec at sea,13 Dec Cozumel,14 DecAt sea.15 Dec arrive back in Ft Lauderdale 7am when Reggy would lead the 2 day trip to Key West.For those who did not wish to ride their Spyder to Florida it would be ok to fly and take the cruise only.Deposit for the cruise is $100.00 per person and is fully refundable until Sept 10th,2014.
We have a group rate at The Rodeway Inn & Suites in Ft Lauderdale situated 2 miles from The Ocean.Hotel has outside tropical heated swimming ,pool,rest,sports bar as well as many other amenities.Rate is $89.99 per night instead of $149 plus tax.This is from the 8th Dec so you may stay 1,2 or 3 nights as you wish.Safe parking for the Spyders will be at the hotel whilst you are on your cruise and is included in the nightly rate.Transfers to and from the hotel to the cruise ship are also included in the nightly rate.
There will be 2 rides prior to the cruise An Oceanside ride to South Beach,and a ride to Everglades National Park,where Airboat rides can be taken.
It is a possibility we might be able to get BRP to put a couple of 2015 models onto the shipProbably Lamont and Reggy would be aboard so seminars on Spyders would be arranged.
Our allocation of rooms is now full.There are balcony staterooms still avaiable which can be pulled into our group.Price is $590.00 per person which includes all taxes and port charges.
I know the various beach clubs in Cozumel so would arrange a day at the beach there.Alternatively scooters or cars can be hired as well as diving or boating excursions arranged.

Cindy & I just got our passports in today. I'm really getting excited about the cruise. I think this will really be fun. Especially the thought of riding our spyders in winter AND taking a cruise in absolutely gorgeous weather.

I have a question? What about the hotel in Key West? Were we suppose to reserve a room?

Gene

We have not finalised the hotel at Key West yet.The reason is depending on how many we have it will take longer to disembark the ship,We are thinking to leave for Key West about midday.Stop for lunch at Alabama Jacks Key Largo which is good and famous on the water,then onto Marathon in the Keys where we will overnight.One of the reasons to stay there it gives people a chance to cross the famous 7 mile bridge a couple of times that day.It starts at Marathon.We will cross it the next morning anyway.
Next morning an early start to Key West.most of the day in Key West and area heading back to Fort Lauderdale late afternoon.From there people will scatter.
If anyone wants to stay on in Key West for a number of days we would be happy to make the reservations. If heading North the best place to stay would be Florida City which is situated as we exit the Keys and at the start of the Florida Turnpike.
We will be in contact during the next couple of weeks.
