jenjes3 Posted January 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hello - husband and I will be sailing on the Summit (3rd time for us) We like the smaller ship and had a great time sailing to Bermuda 2xs. We have receieved a great package from our travel agent - A higher amount of SBC - so we are trying to see which excursions to take - Anyone have any ideas - St Croix - Buck Island or caterman and snorkle? St. Kitts offers a caterman and snorkle trip too - which island best to do this? Then to Dominca - we are looking to tour island and see Emerald pool and small waterfalls - anyone have pointers? Also in Grenada we decided to do sites ourselves. Plan to take cab to Anse Beach and spice market - St. Thomas we are not sure ; have been to Magens Bay - Sapphire beach ; ferry to St. John - was looking at the Champagne excursion - sailing and swimming and champagne? Also if we book excursions online - what is Celebrity's cancellation policy? Can we change or cancel and be reimbursed up to a certain time? We usually do a lot of planning and sight seeing ourselves. Thank you for your help - Can't wait to cruise again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of great suggestions for excursions to take at the various ports on the port forums. Here are links to the forums for the ports you listed: St. Croix St. Kitts & Nevis Dominica Grenada St. Thomas/St. John The advantages of such port forums are that they offer a wide range of suggestions for excursions from people who have taken a variety of cruises. You may also want to check out the roll call for your cruise to see what some of the others on your cruise are planning to do, although excursion recommendations there are usually much more limited.

I believe you can cancel 2 days before the excursion date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenjes3 Posted January 19, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thank you for the suggestions - will check out the port board and it certainly makes sense to wait and book excursions on the ship. We also have the classic beverage package but want to upgrade to premimum using our SBC. So, we wait for this to upgrade too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2bespoiled Posted January 22, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2015 You may also be able to get ideas from the roll call: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1998931 Though it is not a very busy roll call. Make sure you join the meet and mingle, even if you don't plan on going. Happy sailing, Jenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzanneA Posted January 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Have fun! I'm on the same sailing. The only port I've already been to was St. Thomas and I highly recommend Magans Bay! We booked excursions for every stop- all with the ship because we are sailing with my 6 year old and I didn't want to take any chances.

hgc24 Posted February 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2015 We had a great tour with Levi Baron in St. Kitts--well worth it, it was a full day--and there were 2 of us and then 2 others had also booked so we had 2 guides and the 4 of us. We went to the rainforest, sugar mills, snorkeling, beach... he will custom make your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
