One of the very best excursions we have ever taken on any cruise was with Woodwind on Bonaire. The snorkeling was amazing.....best in the Caribbean.....and Dee and Ulf and their crew were so helpful, friendly, and professional. It's a great experience for seasoned snorkelers as well as beginners.

We chose our most recent cruise just so we could visit Bonaire and do this sailing a second time!

Will it matter what side of the ship we are on for an Australian cruise? Do you sail close enough to the land to see much from your balcony?

Has anyone recently used Odyssey Tours? We're going to be Puntarenas soon and his prices are about $20 per person less than lucky and okey dokey tours. Attractive, but not determinative if they don't come recommended. Having a hard time finding recent reviews. Thank you!

We recently returned from a Panama Canal Cruise on the Legend of the Seas. We booked this tour in Puntarenas after reading very positive reviews on Trip Advisor and Cruise Critic. We were not disappointed. Prior to sailing, my questions were all answered promptly and thoroughly by Alvaro. Our private tour was on a very comfortable air-conditioned bus. This was a wonderful tour for first time visitors, since it included so many different things. Our guide was a young man named Ronnie who was very personable and knowledgeable. A delicious lunch at a lovely, clean local restaurant was included. I would recommend this tour highly. It was a wonderful excursion!

We will be visiting Cartagena on March 20, 2015 for the first time. My wife and I will have our 17 year old son and 15 year old niece with us. What should we do in Cartagena?

We just returned from a Panama Canal Cruise on the Legend of the Seas. Our first stop was in Cartagena, and we had a most wonderful private tour with Dora deZubiria from Cartagena Tours. I had read glowing recommendations on Cruise Critic and Trip Advisor...and she met all of our expectations, and then some. We did a city tour that hit all the high points....great for first time visitors. It was a 4 1/2 hour tour in a comfortable air conditioned van. All entrance fees were included in the tour price. There were 4 in our party, but I gathered together some fellow cruisers from the CC board for our cruise, so there were 14 of us all together, which brought the price down to $60 pp, paid at the conclusion of the tour. Dora was personable, funny, knowledgeable, and professional. We had excellent communication prior to our trip. I would recommend her most highly.

That looks like fun. Anyone done this?

We did this excursion on our last Panama Canal Cruise.....enjoyed it so much, we are considering doing it again this time. I'm in the process of researching what else is available.

We were docked in Athens for one day while sailing on the Celebrity Silhouette in June. We had an incredible day...it's hard to believe we saw so much! Our guide Helen (Ilene) was so knowledgeable and personable. We could have tailored our day any way we wanted, but for the most part, we followed her suggestions, and she never steered us wrong. Her extensive experience and education made the city's rich history come alive. There were 12 of us in our private group. The van was very modern and comfortable; the driver was skillful, friendly and accommodating. Nikos was wonderful to deal with, promptly responding to all emails, thoroughly answering all questions and addressing all concerns. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
