ParrotTops Posted April 8, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2006 We just got back from the 11 day Empress of the Seas Caribbean cruise--The Silvermoon was the best tour we took on this trip by far!!! (Also did the much touted Eli's in Antigua which was just so-so). The crew on Silvermoon was outstanding! They treat you like royalty--waiting on you hand and foot--making sure you are having a great time without being instrusive. The catamaran itself is gorgeous and very comfortable--all padded seats and also you can lay out on the bow...The lunch was served on real plates and was fabulous-they get it catered in. The drinks keep flowing--whatever you want--fruit juices, wines, pina-colada's, strawberry daquiri's, soft drinks, beer. The price is unbelievable for what they give you in food and drinks alone! Snorkeling with the turtles was awesome-they feed them and they come right up to you and you can touch them and feed them yourself too! I willl remember our day on Silvermoon the rest of my life. It was so incredible it was sur-real!!!! If you ever go to Barbados-make SURE you take this day excursion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knarf Posted April 8, 2006 #3 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hi Parrot Tops, When you do the turtle thing how deep is the water ? Can you stand ? thanks, Knarf (Frank backwards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParrotTops Posted April 8, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted April 8, 2006 The turtles are surprising close to the beach--but you definately could NOT stand in it--I'd say the water is about 20 ft deep but I have to admit, we did not bother looking down we were so engrossed in the turtles! Big ones, baby ones! All right there swimming amongst us, eating fish pieces out of our hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laceyjane Posted April 13, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2006 They have life vests for you to wear while in the water-my husband who is sort of a "nervous" swimmer in deep water wore his life vest and loved it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
