Cockatoo shore ex through RCCL?

[skiiergirl]

Has anyone done the Cockatoo boat shore ex through RCCL? If so, what did you think? Would you do it again? What did you like? What did you not like (if anything)? Thanks.

Did it and did it again!!:D We took the large boat the first time we went on HAL and had a good time, but when we took the Rhapsody we took the Cockatoo. Way better!! Not as many people (40+/-) and all the food for the stingrays was included. (Other tour gave a small amount and charged for more:() We had such a good time that we took it again on our next trip to GC. The crew really went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable and got acquainted with the rays (even my timid daughter). BTW - they take video of your trip and although its kind of pricey, I'm really glad we bought it!! For what its worth - timid daughter was there last year with friends and they took Capt. Marvin, which she said was good, but that she liked the Cockatoo better!!

I went on the Cockatoo years ago through Carnival and loved it.

We were on the Cockatoo a couple of weeks ago and had a blast. There were only 24 people on the excursion (9 from Rhapsody of the Seas and 15 from Celebrity Century). We were told they could put as many as 60 on the catamaran so we had plenty of room to stretch out on the trip out and back. The crew was fantastic. Once we arrived at the sandbar, our captain staked out a spot that was away from all the other boats so it was almost like we were the only ones there. The only down side was that there was not enough wind for the catamaran to travel under sail. We highly recommend this trip. I have included a couple of photos.
