Hi. I received a response from Mystic man. The gentleman's name was Wendell Richards and the email address is reservations@mysticmantours.com. I believe. The website has the correct address. Hopefully they will respond back to you.

We loved our day with Mystic Man last week. We found out 3 weeks before the cruise that they had reached their minimum. There were about 30-35 people. We were on a large catamaran and it wasn't crowded. Everyone on the tour was from our ship and we were back in plenty of time.

Thanks for the info VPI. We are still hoping we get some interest from May 4th. It seems on a ship as big as the Carnival Sunshine we would have no worries trying to get the minimum as we are approximately 30 days from sailing and no word on meeting the minimum. We may have to have a plan B. Yeah we aren't to keen on the small speedboats as we hear the water can get pretty choppy while riding on the smaller boats and the wife got seasick on a smaller boat on a previous excursion. It seems St. Lucia is not a location that has many catamaran cruises like the other Caribbean islands like Barbados; St Martin. Why that is I don't know.

We did the Mystic Man Cruise Ship Eco Adventure tour in 2013 & again in January. It is a big, beautiful catamaran & the crew is very accommodating.

 

A crew member meets you inside the cruise terminal & walks you over to the catamaran which is docked nearby.

 

The scenery is spectacular. We saw a lot of flying fish both times & saw whales (off in the distance) in January.

 

 

 

 

Lunch was great (choice of chicken or fish) & the drinks are plentiful!

Thanks Cool Breeze. This sounds wonderful. Unfortunately right now they don't have the minimum to sail. Do you remember how many you had and/or when they met the minimum. We are about 43 days out and only two of us so far. Also do you remember the port times the Glory was in St. Lucia and if it corresponded to the time in St. Lucia? The Sunshine is in port from 8 to 4pm so wanted to make sure we don't miss the boat so do you remember the times of the cruise. Hoping Glory and Sunshine follow St. Lucia time.

Just my husband and I. I am willing to pay more for a private tour.

If you are willing to pay for a private tour then I would contact them directly. If you are willing to play the waiting game and save some money then I would see if they are actually going to get very many signed up say about a month out. If not, you will probably save money. If by the unlucky chance, there are more than you would like to sail with their are several other catamaran charter companies that are highly rated that can cater a cruise to your liking.

Do you know the maximum or average??? I won't use them if more than 20.

Unfortunately. No I don't. I don't think they have more than 20 based on the reviews. It is usually less from what I see. I can't even get the minimum to commit much less 20 and i am a month away from my cruise. How many are in your party? You may be able to arrange a private charter if you have enough commits.

Thank you so much for your response princess.

I was hoping that someone that has been on the Carnival Sunshine would be able to answer the ship time question that had been in port previously with the hope that it follows suit for each cruise on the time.

I was also hoping to get a cruise ship tour response since most on the website are sunset cruises or private tours not the specific whale dolphin cruise ship special tour.

My understanding is that they need at least 8 people to sail. It will depend on how many people you have that want to go. I am wanting to go May 4th but they don't have the minimum to cruise. They probably didn't get back with you because your cruise date is so far off there is no way for them to tell how many people much less if they will be sailing. I am sure that if they get a group wanting to charter on my date of sailing they will leave me out unless they agree to take on another couple. Bird in hand.

Hi. We are thinking about taking the Mystic Man Eco Whale Dolphin tour on May 4th. We are on the Carnival Sunshine. Has anyone been on this tour? Does it get you back to port on time? Anybody also know if ship time 8 to 4 pm is the same as the time in St. Lucia

or different? Any input on the day on the water and the service would be appreciated.
