One important thing besides the already listed ones is this: greet all of the citizens of the BVI that you encounter with a "Hello, how are you today!" This is the friendly icebreaker and will get you quick service, advice, help or whatever you need. Case in point: at one restaurant in Roadtown, Tortola we greeted the person up front, greeted our waitress, thanked them for seating us and giving us menu's. At the same time another couple from an unidentified place treated the staff like servants. We got our order placed, drinks served, dinner served, dessert and left and all the while no one went to the other couples table. No menu, water glass, nothing. So be nice and friendly to one and all and enjoy. And don't forget your sunscreen...lol
