Anyone ever do the Carnival Barrier Reef Snorkel Excursion

[Scalmie]

Has anyone ever done the Barrier Reef snorkeling excursion with Carnival? It gets 5 star reviews on the website, but I tend to take a review on their site with a grain of salt. It's a 2.5 hour excursion but I assume that includes the bus ride and boat ride to the beach. Do you snorkel for an hour?

Any feeback is greatly appreciated.

one of the nice things about Cayman is that there is really really good snorkeling a few steps away from the tender landing. If you have your own gear it costs nothing to go. If you need to rent gear, it will cost WAY less than a boat trip.

 

Eden Rock is maybe 100 yards away ... Sunset House a mile down the road. Both are great places to snorkel or do a shore dive and save the cost of a boat trip. And you can stay as long as you like ... or as short as you like. Be on your own timetable.

We never used a ship excursion for snorkeling in Grand Cayman. We always use Captain Marvin's. We did the snorkel/stingray sandbar trip. We did the shorter one when we were on a cruise, and the longer ones when we are on the island for vacations. Whatever you end up doing, have a great time! :)
