Shore Excursion Advice please

Hello,

We are sailing on August 1st West Caribbean, is there any suggestion regarding excursion on Haiti, Grand Cayman, Conzumel and Ocho Rios, which tour agent is good and what are their website? I sit better to book it with RCC?

Labadee (Haiti) is the private beach for RCI...no need to book any excursions there, if you don't want to...it's a beach day, pure and simple. Lunch is included (BBQ on the beach) All drinks will be charged as if you were on the ship...alcohol and soda. If you decide to do something "extra" at Labadee, it HAS to be thru RCI...there are no "private" tours at all there.

What is it you're interested in doing in the other stops? That will determine the suggestions!

I always suggest swimming with stingrays (Stingray City) in Grand Cayman.

 

You'll get a lot of info on the port pages on CC.

Try the Port of Call forums. Other than Labadee, I probably would stick with RCI's tours in Ocho Rios--we only went shopping at the pier while there.

 

We used Stingray Sailing in GCayman last month and adored them. Took a cab to Paradise Beach in Cozumel and loved it, too!

Hi,

 

In Labadee, hubby did the Zip Line (actually on THE first day it was open, :eek:). When we got on board the ship we also booked a couples massage on the beach. IT WAS WONDERFUL!

 

In GrandCaymen, we did a tour through the ship that did Hell, The Turtle Farm and Sting Ray City. We did through RCI only because we didn't want to risk missing the ship, just in case. On our upcoming sailing, we are going to do only Sting Ray City (yes, it was THAT neat!).

 

In Cozumel, we booked through Shore Trips the Royal Dolphin Swim at Chakanaab Park. OMG! Talk about the highlight of the trip (and after the sting rays, who would have thought). This was a little cheaper than through the ship and longer time with the dolphins. WE LOVED IT!!

 

Next sailing we are thinking about doing the Mayan Ruins, if that helps any.

 

Hope this helps.
