Carnival Excursion - Non-participant

[luvcruisin66]

Hi,

 

Does Carnival allow for non-participants to "go along" with excursions where non-participation is possible? Example: Can spouse go along with snorkeling excursion to beach(not boat), and just hang out while we snorkel?

 

Thx.

No. You can pay and not participate though.

It depends. How are you getting to this beach? If you are walking to a public beach, then they can't prevent you from walking there as well and watching people snorkel. If they are taking any sort of transportation or if they are going to a private snorkel area, you'll have to purchase the excursion.

 

FWIW, when we were on Half Moon Cay, my daughter did the Stingray Adventure. While she rode in a vehicle to the stingray area, I was able to walk over there and watch everyone in the water with the rays. Carnival had no problem with people coming over to see the rays and watch the 'Stingray Adventure".

I would contact Carnival and ask but I'm sure they will tell you NO because your spouse would be taking up room on the boat that could be used for someone else.

 

But maybe they could go and pay a "Spectator Fee"

No, because when you sign up and pay it includes transportation to and from. So your spouse would be getting a free transport to the beach. They usually sell all or at least most seats.

Some excursions offer a spectator ticket. Call and ask. When my girls and I did one of the dolphin excursions in Coz, DH and DS were able to ride in the van and enter the park with us. Much less than an actual excursion ticket...
