Has anyone done Captain Nautica's Ultimate Snorkle Excursion thru Carnival?

[kiraryker]

Just wondering if it is worth the $$ I unfortunately was voted to be the entertainment planner for this 3 family cruise.

 

This excursion is in St. Thomas

 

Thanks for any info

yes we did it last march, not worth your money

pls believe me,

they go to a place where you can see, if you are lucky, some turtles and that is about it, no coral only rocks and some fish but not worth it.

Shipwreck Cove is the place they go to, we went on a short boat ride into the water had plenty of time to check out all rocks ................

went back to the ship with a very bad feeling

( we have been snorkeling a lot have seen a lot maybe spoiled a bit but this is not a snorkel trip !!!!!!!!!! )

 

have a great cruise

We did it last year and had a completely different experience. The boats are fast so they can go where the 65 ft cats can't go. We went to one place first and there and a big snorkel boat was pulling up at the same time as us. The guide asked us if we wanted to stay and snorkel there or go on to someplace else. We voted to go on and off we went. We went to some underwater park at another island and it was great as far as I was concerned.

 

Interesting how we had different experiences. We usually do scuba diving instead of snorkeling, but diving is such a hassle, we sometimes like to just go snorkeling instead because it's simpler. We would definitely use them again for a snorkel trip.
