gmadvm Posted January 9, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Anyone done this 1/2 day tour to the baths? We are only in port from 7am to 1 pm and their website says the trip is 8am to 12pm. but their website also says that they pick you up at the end of the cruise ship pier and their home dock is only a 2 minute taxi drive away. i've read prior threads that said it was more like 20 minutes. does this mean they provide a taxi from the end of the pier to their dock? I have sent them an email to clarify but was looking for anyone with past experience. We normally try to avoid ship excursions, but for such a short port time I would book with the ship because the next port is NJ and we don't want to miss the ship, but the excursion offered by RCI looks like they have very limited time at the baths and a lot of drive around time which doesn't look appealing. Anyone done the RCI excursion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrate13 Posted January 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Patouche is less then a 5 minute drive from the port. They used to have a taxi guy but may also be using a member of the crew as a transport driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasickblues Posted January 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I was looking at Patouche.com also and sent them an email this morning with q's and didn't get a response back yet. We are in port for the same amount of time 7-1 and am concerned about time frames too. Can someone offer some assistance? Or maybe a different suggestion?

Pyrate13 Posted January 13, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It can sometimes take a couple of days for Julie to get back to you in an email as she is often out with the boats. While I highly recommend Patouche, I will say that a trip that ends at 12 is cutting it close. Remember, the boat is a mechanical thing and things do break so there is always going to be the possibility of being later than 12. Perhaps they can arrange a bit of a shorter trip.

Disney Campers Posted January 13, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2009 through celebrity the cost is 72.00, through patouche it's 80.00, for the short time in port I would feel more comfortable booking through celebrity, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasickblues Posted January 15, 2009 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I got my response from Julie at Patouche and I guess the snorkel excursion to the Baths won't be leaving till 9am and that will be too late for us. Oh well, we will go to Brewer's bay instead. Not a total loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
