Did you end out taking the rainforest tubing excursion? We are considering it but reviews are hard to find.

We've been here a few times and just took advantage of hanging out at the beach or pool. We want something different this time. 

 

I'm not really wanting to take a ferry somewhere and do things on our own this time and started looking at NCL's ship sponsored excursions. A few have peaked my interest.  

 

Has anyone done the river tubing? We've done river tubing in Belize (from Belize City when we used to dock there) and had a great time both times. This looks like a more relaxed, floating river tubing and no caves. Just a relaxing day. If you've been, let me know your experience. 

 

The other thing is the boat ride to see manatee's. (Placencia Lagoon Wildlife & Mangrove). I think it would be a relaxing time out on the boat and possibly seeing the manatees in their natural habitat. I realize there's never a guarantee, but is it worth the trip? Have you seen manatee's if you went? What was your experience?

Thanks all.

It is 2 hours and appears to have 12 seats.

We are on the Ruby Princess in August 2018 going on the Dog Sledding and Glacier Flightseeing excursion.

This cost over $1100.00 for the both of us and I wonder what the tipping on this excursion might be. I can not imagine a 20 % tip. Has anybody been? What is an appropriate tip?

Thanks

Thank you all for such informative replies.

This is our first cruise to areas that supposedly do not tip in Country. Do you tip on shore excursions (excursion purchased from the cruise line) in Portugal, France, and UK? If so, in US dollar or do we bring foreign currency for tipping on these excursions?

Thanks!
