LisaL Posted September 13, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Has anyone done the snorkel with sting rays at Blackbeards Cays thru Royal Carribean? Any good? Can you just snorkel off the island on your own? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickc Posted September 13, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Hi-- we went to Blackbeards Cay this past spring-- its a nice little place! Some folks we met on our cruise (Celebrity) loved the stingray swim-- but, you can see just as much from the pier! The water was really shallow & it seemed as though those participating in the stingray swim spent most of the time getting ready, etc. I took my snorkel eqpt & tried snorkeling from beach-- there's not much out there. If you're looking for a nice beach- this is it. But not much in way of snorkeling. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzntori Posted September 16, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2004 husband and i went and if never touched sting ray its pretty cool. sting rays are penned and when the wave of people enter the water and stir up the sand you can only see grey clouds hoovering around you. we got out and waited til most of the people left then we got back in and could see them. the sting ray swim at discovery cove in orlando was much better.

APagano Posted September 21, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2004 My girlfriend did the Blackbeard's Cay stingray snorkel this past Saturday and absolutely loved it. It is a fenced in area next to the beach and there will be a lot of people in the water with you, but if you hang around long enough people will start to leave and you'll have more room to yourself.

skyview851 Posted December 13, 2004 #5 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Has anyone done both the Nassau stingrays & the Grand Cayman stingray encounter? I am wondering how they compare. In Grand Cayman, the rays are out in the sound, not penned up & the water is quite clear. The Nassau excursions sound very different, will I be disappointed?
