bgd Posted May 3, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hi there, We are going on the same cruise, when I got my invoice through I went on Island website entered name and reference no. which came up with list of trips. Hopefully this is only a selection because there are other things I'd like to do. Found this site which arranges trips at someof the ports of call http://grandcaymancruiseexcursions.com/Stingray_City_Buccaneer_Catamaran.htm Hope this helps bgd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsTW Posted May 3, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2008 You can browse excursions on the Island website http://www.islandcruises.com/shorexes?poc=63&submit.x=11&submit.y=11 You can book a few months before you sail. Be warned you will be charged for your tours as soon as you book via cc (except cycle tours)......and not to your onboard account :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK.Girl Posted May 4, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted May 4, 2008 wow just had a look = very expensive some of these trips ! I assume that even if you dont book an excursion there will be places to go locally by ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that even if you don't book an excursion there will be places to go locally by ourselves. You're catching on fast!DIY = Do It Yourself -and most ppl do just that!! :) Only reason to take a Ship's tour, is if you're docked somewhere like Civitavecchia where the trip into ROME is 50 traffic-snarled miles away. You don't want to get left behind by the ship so you cough up for one of Their tours, so they'll have to wait for you if the trip back to the ship gets tied up in traffic or whatever! :) but other than that, you can quite reliably do your own tour-ashore thing especially if you get together with 2 or 3 other couples to fill a local taxi or van. It's easy..really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dartsteve Posted June 30, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hi, You should be able to book up online on the Island Cruise website? They show the excursions and say you can book online. Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK.Girl Posted July 3, 2008 Author #9 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi Steve I went back to the TA last weekend - First choice - and saw a different rep and she said not to book online but to sort it on the cruise - if they all turn out to be wrong will just sort ourselves out ! i dont anticipate any probs really have got brave reading this site and the only place where people say is not so good is Jamaica - and have been there before so not worried about going anywhere there - but quite happy to wander about in daylight! ange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
