phlydude Posted January 20, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Carnival is offering 2 different beach excursions (I wouldn't normally book with the ship but the prices aren't bad $29 pp for Parrot Bay and $33 for Tabyana). Has anyone been to Parrot Tree Plantation Beach? If so, how was it. Ship shows limited time of 3 hrs, could that be correct? How would the 2 compare? I see Parrot Tree is more a lagoon than open water like Tabyana and is more limited in number of people than Tabyana. help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slineberry528 Posted January 22, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I am on the 'VAlor in July. I am interested in the same thing. Can you stay longer at the beach and get your own transportation back? Do they have snorkeling there, is so from the beach or off a boat?

phlydude Posted January 22, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Tabyana has snorkeling very close to the beach area from what I am reading. The PArrot Tree is more of a housing development catering to retiring Americans. (www.parrot-tree.net) While it looks beautiful, I am hearing I won't be disappointed with Tabyana. Check out the Carnival thread, I am getting more hits on the same question there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdindy Posted January 24, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2005 We just got back from Tabyana - you can jump right in and snorkel right off the beach. We loved Tabyana (and Roatan) so much, we are considering 1 - buying property there and 2 - going back and spending an entire week there. It was by far the best stop on our cruise.

LUCY55 Posted February 3, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2005 ksdindy, Can you rent snorkel equipment at the beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ55 Posted February 4, 2005 #6 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Lucy55, It's been five years since we were at this fantastic beach but I don't think they rent equip. If you are on a ship just go to the dive master dept and rent from the ship. I'm on the Grand Princess 2/26, and they rent snorkel,mask,fins and vest for $18/day or $25 for the whole week! Make it one of the 1st things you on the ship b/c they may run out due to excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcys Posted February 4, 2005 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Do you know if you can go on the canopy tour from Tabyana Beach. When I called carnival, they said to book the Tabyana Beach tour and pay for the canopy tour once there. Anyone try this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
