Staying Focused

Who is the company to go with?

We are going in mid-May. I want to book a snorkeling excursion, preferably through a private company instead of the cruise line, that is worth the money. I don't particularly want to snorkel with sharks either. I live on the Gulf Coast, i can see sharks when i want to, lol. We are first time cruisers and want to have the best experience possible in the short time we have. I'm looking into Blue Lagoon but read you really can't snorkel there.

Best advice for excursions is to check out the Ports of Call forums. Each destination has their own forum and you can get advice on what to do, costs, taxis, sights, etc. Here it is: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=587

As far as last sea day, partly will depend on what you like to do, and what the ship offers as entertainment. Spa, pools, etc all options.

Enjoy your first cruise!

I'll check it out thanks!

I don't have any excursions booked yet. In fact, the only thing i DO have planned is to relax. But being our first cruise, and only being 3 days, i want to make the most of it too. We also have the Open Dining option. Does this mean we will still have an assigned table with the same people the whole time? Or can we just and go to the MDR and other places as we want to?

We are on the Enchantment of the Seas, leaving May 18, 2015 for 4 nights. Thanks to some of the reviews i've read I'm thinking about doing a para-sailing excursion in CocoCay and spending the rest of that day on barefoot beach. For Nassau, i'm looking into the day pass at the Hilton or doing a snorkeling excursion and then maybe Junkanoo beach the rest of the time?? What is the best way to spend the last "at sea" day?

We do NOT drink, and our main goal is relaxing. I want to have a good snorkel experience so wondering if the day pass at the resort will give us that or not. I'm a planner so and advice for us newbies will be greatly appreciated!:cool:
