anaslile Posted October 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm browsing through shore excursions offered through Carnival and maybe I'm just being a dumb blonde today, but I cannot for the life of me tell what's different between these two excursions except for about $20 difference, a photostop and a glass of rum punch. Before anybody asks, I'm going through Cruise shore excursions b/c I'm traveling solo, so doing an independent isn't as appealing or cost-saving. Does anybody have any insights to help me out? Thanks ahead of time! Stingray Sandbar, Hell and Turtle Farm experience (more expensive) Stingray City and Island Tour (less expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowseeker Posted October 16, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2007 We will be traveling on Carnival Conquest 11/4 and I had the same question. I called Carnival but they did not see a difference, either. It might just be a difference in the tour operator used. We ended up booking the Stingray City and Island Tour since it is more descriptive. FYI - both offer rum punch, it is just in small print on one of the descriptions. Hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise, I'm sure you will enjoy either one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anaslile Posted October 16, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Snow, thanks for your response. I was initially booked for the more expensive one, but have decided to go with the other one, like you. I almost wonder if the other one is cheaper because it leaves earlier! I don't mind, I'm an early bird myself. Plus if it causes me to avoid the majority of the crowds at the stingray sight, I'm happy. Let me know what you think of the tour once you're back and how it compares to others, if you hear from people who went on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowseeker Posted November 13, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2007 No one I talked to took the other stingray excursion offered through carnival. We were very pleased with the stingray portion of the tour, but felt rushed through the turtle farm and Hell. By the way, the rum punch is very potent!!!! Stingray City is amazing, absolutely loved it!!! Going early is an advantage since they are still hungry. The disposable underwater cameras we used really came back with some great pictures. This was the highlight of our trip!!!! Hope all goes well for you, have a wonderful cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
