ivycruise Posted February 4, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Does anybody know that has done the Carnival Barrier Reef at Turneffe excursion if you tender to the port or does the catamaran pick you up directly from the ship. We've received conflicting answers. And, was it a worthwhile excursion. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripeee Posted February 6, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2009 also interested in this Excursion, any info would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEwoman Posted February 7, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2009 ME three! I am totally confused with excursions to snorkel in Belize. Carnival's excursion says " no bad backs" is this just a precaution or is it a long and bumpy ride???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGGY63 Posted February 7, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I did this excursion last spring. You get picked up from the ship, and after snorkeling you travel to the beach, where you get UNLIMITED rum punch. The rum punch was perfect....... Since we did not tender, we did not get the 'port picture' on the gangway... I get one every time. I requested from the manager (Carnival Valor) of the photo shop if they would take our picture anyway...and they did on the deck beside the Purser's desk. It was excellent.... I don't usually purchase excursions through CCL, but this one was good. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGGY63 Posted February 12, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Was it a long or bumpy ride??? DH has a bad back....thanks Nope, not really. Guessing about 20 minutes. I have a bad back, and my wife has a bad neck. We are quite a team, and this was not a problem..... Have Fun..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEwoman Posted February 15, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Ah...living in a parallel universe then... I was afraid it was a "reef rocket" We want to see fish more than the rays and sharks...have that postcard already. Do you remember how long of a ride it is? Thanks!

ILuv2CruiseWithU2 Posted February 25, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I am a certified diver and my wife has never been diving. I am thinking about doing the intro to diving excursion through Carnival. I would take it with her and was wondering if anyone has done the same excursion and if you have a review.

krninco Posted February 28, 2009 #9 Share Posted February 28, 2009 How much time did you get to spend at the beach, Dave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccsrn Posted January 6, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The reason they say no bad backs is that when the boat comes down. on the waves it can cause spinal compression fractures. I live on a lake and we get tourist all the time with these from the boat rides. We are on a lake not the ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
