excursion ? from 1st timer

[lbtnewcruiser]

we will be in port from 8-3 and want to know if we will be able to fit in both stingray city and seven mile beach ? if so what order would be best and what is the best way to get to seven mile beach ? we are a party of six, will there be taxi vans so we don't have to split up ? any idea of the price to seven mile ? thanks :)

Well, there is bus service ($2.50 pp) from the dock to the beach...easy. I don't know how long the stingray thing is....but you should have time....you'll have essentially 6 hours in port...you have to be back ON the ship 1/2 hour before sailaway.

7 mile beach is very close to the port. It depends how far down you go, but in generally it takes no more than 10 minutes. On the way back, in the afternoon, there is normally traffic because all the cruisers are trying to get back at the same time. Just to prevent yourself from being stressed, I would give myself at least 20-30 to get back to the pier.

 

I would do stingrays first thing in the morning and see if your tour driver can just drop you off at the beach when you are done. This way you do not waste a lot of time going back and forth or hopping from one vehicles to another. You will also only have to pay for the bus or taxi once if you go about it that way.
