Transport Service to fetes, etc..

After having discussions with our transport provider the following is the decision made.

Please be advised that all bookings and payments must be made by 15th January 2008.

As a date or space is no longer available with the vehicle, you will be informed.


The maxi shuttle service being provided to you will be structured as follows:
*Seating capacity = 12 or 15 depending on vehicle used (will be confirmed on booking)
*USD$45.00 per person, Return, Per Event (except Salybia)
*Salybia = USD$55, return
*Pick up & drop off point to be advised

As advised by the service provider, once a group has booked, the vehicle will be on site for the duration of the pre-arranged times and patrons will be able to 'rest up', 'take a nap' or leave any items in the vehicle at their comfort and not have to worry about 'the vehicle not showing up' or 'having no where to rest', should they require it.

Should the vehicle not be fully booked by one group, patrons may have to share the vehicle with other persons.

It is advisable that you do secure group bookings as this may be more comfortable for you.

Finally, a 50% deposit is required to secure this service and cancellations can only be made with 5 days notice.

Additionally, upon cancellation, we will deduct a small service fee for processing charges.

Again, this is a first pay, first scheduled service.

The prices quoted have been based upon current fares and also taking into consideration the wait time, and call out fees for the driver/s.

We can assure you that this service is safe and the driver of the vehicles is a non-smoker, non-drinker, posseses defensive driving certificates in addition to being a qualified medic.

Please feel free to email us should you need further information.

In addition, we have been told that the tickets will be given out on a priority basis as they have catered for lower volume for 2008 and have an incredibly high demand.

With this new information coming to us, it is impossible at this time for us to entertain further requests for tickets -Please be aware of this.

We will provide more information as it becomes available to us.

Once again, persons who have indicated interest via email for various tickets and those of you who may have submitted email addresses, please ensure that you have submitted a valid email address, also please add our email addresses - islandcarnival@gmail.com, socadiva70@yahoo.com to your contact list to avoid you missing our update email notifications and price releases.

PLEASE NOTE:
Persons who had earlier reserved tickets are reminded to submit payment for these events if you have not already done so.

LATEST NEWS
Although we posted this info before, we have also placed it here for easy reference as well.

1. Due to an overwhelming response to our service and in particular deposits for BRIAN LARA All Inclusive, we have been forced to label this event as SOLD OUT through our service as we have reached our alloted quota. We sincerely apologise to those who have not yet had a chance to book for this event and wish you the best of luck in securing tickets. As we have indicated previously, all our tickets are on a first pay, first receive basis, and not just on pre-booking alone.

2. We have been informed through a reliable source that 2 extremely well known fetes will be making changes for the 2008 season and having a NEW LOOK/FEEL.....Be prepared to dress to impress and wine the night away in a soca enhanced ambience, with 2 big bands, while enjoying the freshness of sea breezes.........And if you like getting wet, be prepared to be soaking in a rebirth....That's all we are allowed to say at the moment folks, but we can tell you that one of them just by the ambience alone is set to be different.

3. We are still in talks to get an allocation of tickets for Tribe Thursdays.

4. Diamond Vale Breakfast Party committee will not be releasing any information until after Christmas as we were informed by a committee member. We hope to have prices and more information soon.

5. Most fete promoters/committees are holding out on giving ticket prices until after January 1st 2008. Please bear with us as we await the confirmed information.

6. We hope to be in our new office space by the 3rd week in January if not before. CUSTOMERS will be informed of our location and hours.

Once again, thank you for the comments and we are happy to answer any other questions you may have, that may not have been addressed on this blog.

sincerely
