boopie1026 Posted July 16, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I am happy to report that carnival is once again offering the excursion to bannister Island! I do not know why they stopped but at least its back- its a bit more money than a private excursion but since its a tender port its easier than first going onto Belize then back on a boat to Bannister.. IMO- either way happy to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianne74 Posted July 16, 2010 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'm looking at this excursion -- so they'll tender you directly to Bannister? That's definitely a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boopie1026 Posted July 17, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted July 17, 2010 yes they take you directly to the island a huge perk- this excursion is not with snorkeling actually- they offer with and without- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grannycb Posted July 17, 2010 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Is there any snorkeling off the beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvpens Posted July 19, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I just got a reply from Carnival stating that the Bannister Island is not available. Not sure if this is just for the week of 7/25 or if its permanent. I did see Coralbreezetours offers Bannister Island excursion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No snorkeling just beach time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvpens Posted July 21, 2010 #10 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I went to book this excursion earlier today and it was off the website again. Seems to be some confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvpens Posted July 22, 2010 #11 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Here is the email I received regarding this excursion. Dear Guest Please be advised that this tour is/was on hold due to some maintenance on the island. The tour operator originally advised us that the tour will reopen on the 15th of July, however since then he again notified us that they are not yet ready. At this point we are not certain that the tour will be available for your cruise, however we kindly ask you to visit the shore excursion desk onboard the ship, to check the availability of this excursion. Regards, Tour Operations Carnival Cruise Lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
