vapple Posted August 31, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2015 We will be on a Celebrity cruise in the Caribbean and want to have our first zip line experience. Does anyone know which excursion is the best? Is it the one that Celebrity offers or are there better ones out there on the island itself? Want one that is fun and safe. Thanks for any advice...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteTraveler Posted August 31, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The best one and safest since the lines act as brakes is the zip line course at Mystic Mountain. I have done other zip lines in Jamaica where you have to wear a glove and brake yourself and I think that's just too dangerous and was not comfortable with it at all. The problem is once you are on the zip line course, you can't just quit as there is no way to get off the course except to take the zip lines to the bottom. The zip line course at Mystic Mountain is well maintained and it has the automatic brakes on the zip lines. It's a far better situation and I believe much, much safer. It is also a longer zip line course, so you will have plenty of time to get used to zip lining and to actually enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapple Posted September 2, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It sounds like this is not the one offered by Celebrity. Though it sounds really good, and I will look into it, do you know anything about the one from the ship? We have a lot of OBC and would like to use it for the excursion.

SuiteTraveler Posted September 2, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2015 If it is Chukka, and the pictures show people wearing gloves on the zip line, that's the one I would avoid. The tubing the White River through the same company is GREAT though! I would do that part of the excursion and skip the dangerous zip lines.
