62 days until Miami, 63 days until the Horizon! First cruise in nearly 4 years. So excited!

Hi,

My group and I are looking into doing the Carnival excursion for Aruba "De Palm Island & Snorkel Day Pass." 

I am getting mixed answers on if alcoholic drinks are included in the price of this excursion. Some say it is all inclusive and that drinks ARE included, others say only food and non-alcoholic are included, and that alcoholic drinks are extra. I wanted to reach out on here to ask before contacting Carnival directly, as it can take quite a bit of time to receive a response from them.

So, my question is: If you have done this excursion through Carnival, are alcoholic drinks included? Did you enjoy the excursion? What are the pros & cons?

163 days!

Hi all, has anyone done their own excursion to the Hato Caves in Curacao? We don't want to do the excursion with Carnival because they only offer caves + beach combos (we do not plan on going to the beach in Curacao). We want to explore Willemstad after the caves (we will be in Curacao for 9 hours). If you have done the Hato Caves, can you tell me how much the taxi was to the caves from the Mega Cruise Pier? Any info would help! Thank you!

We will be sailing with Carnival for the first time over Spring Break 2020 on the Horizon with this itinerary. We looked into the Seavis Tours after reading your post. We couldn't figure out what we wanted to do in La Romana. I think we are going to do the same excursion! Thanks for the recommendation! 

Too long! 291 days. Spring break on the Horizon!

I did this excursion last week & loved it. Yes the taxi is $15 per person. It's about 20 minutes or so. When they drop you off at Seavis Tours they tell you your taxi number. I was number 17, for example. When we got back from the excursion, the taxis were all there lined up holding their number. When they dropped us off at the cruise terminal, we paid cash. Paying at the end ensures they come back to get you. The number system makes sure you pay the same guy who brought you.

 

Everything is far from La Ramona unfortunately. Seems excursions require some kind of extra transportation.   It ran very smoothly. They have a good system in place.

 

 

Hi, I have a quick (and maybe weird?) question. On the website they mention it is not a great fit for those who are overweight. My mom and I really want to do this excursion but she is worried about the weight-limit (she's not obese by anymeans, but she is plus-size) Were there larger people on your excursion? Or were they all relatively "average" in size? Thanks in advance.
