Sky Safari - not booked through cruise line?

[blowe]

Has anyone booked Sky Safari zip line but not through the cruise lines? It seems they have contracts with all the cruise lines, but I just contacted them directly (not mentioning that I was on a cruise) and they said they had a tour at 12pm that day. Full tour is 1.5 hours. With a 30 min trip back to the pier, that puts us back at 2pm. The boat leaves at 5pm. I would rather not be with a crowd of people and the cost is significantly cheaper. 

 

Has anyone done this?

What price did they quote you?  I am trying to do the same as you are.  I can't get any of the tour guides to book it for me.  They say the cruise line controls it on the days they have ships.  If they have slots at 12 that are not associated with the cruise lines, I will try and book it and get a taxi over as well.
