awtorrey Posted March 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi We are cruising on Carnival in June and will be in AmberCove. Since I'd like to see at least a little bit of the island and I love to snorkel I booked Carnival's shore excursion Power Snorkeling. Has anyone taken the excursion? Was it fun? Is it worth the money? Was there a lot of traffic? How was Sousa Beach? We are doing the morning tour so I'm thinking the beach and the traffic should be quiet/light. If you wouldn't do this excursion again, what would you do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awtorrey Posted December 28, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hi, I just came back to say that my husband and I DID do this. It was great fun! The things I didn't like about it are: 1) there weren't enough signed up for the early excursion so they lumped us all into the later one, which meant hanging around the port for a while, which was ok, gave us time to see the port and and look around, but... 2) It's a LONG ride to Sousua Beach. It took about 45 minutes and traffic was kind of heavy and you go through a lot of construction. 3) I would have liked to have some time after the snorkeling to visit some of the vendors/shops on the beach there. What I did like are: 1) the power snorkel machines were AWESOME!!! SO much fun and easier to use that I had expected. 2) the guys who ran this excursion were very nice, knowledgeable, friendly and funny. 3) we visited a couple of really cool snorkel sites. 4) the gave us the sweetest pineapple I've ever had and soda or water in between the snorkel stops. One other comment... it was a good thing this was a Carnival excursion because we were late getting back to port and they were looking for us. If you love to snorkel and want to try something different/fun, this is the ticket. I would do it again if the ride to the actual excursion wasn't so long. But then, I did say that I wanted to see some of the island, right? You just don't see much in the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
