Jan 3, 2011 Cruise Critic Scuba Cruise aboard the Grand Princess

 

Back by popular demand, the 6th annual Cruise Critic Scuba Cruise will usher in 2011 in style aboard the Grand Princess on January 3, 2011! This is a divers and snorkelers dream come true! Sailing though paradise for 14 days is an experience you will never forget!

 

We will set sail from Fort Lauderdale aboard the beautiful Grand Princess and start the New Year off in style by visiting 9 ports of call – 8 of which will have available 2 tank boat dives! Not a diver? Not a problem! We see to it that all our non-divers always have a great time! We will be offering group shore excursions, parties and other activities in which divers and non divers in the group can participate.

 

This two week cruise will call on some new ports we have never been to as a group: Grand Turk, St. Vincent and Curacao. We will also return to favorites like Barbados and St. Kitts. In all, we will be visiting 8 islands with excellent diving. Please don’t fell compelled to dive in each, but you can if you want to!

 

As of Feb 2010, the port of Santo Domingo has been replaced with San Juan, Puerto Rico indefinitely. It’s hard to say what will happen many months from now, but all members will be notified of changes to the itinerary in advance of the cruise.

 

For detailed information, please email the group leader for a brochure or visit the Cruise Critic Scuba Cruise Group Forum.

 

Thanks.

Information for Non-Divers

 

Though this cruise is Cruise Critic's 6th Annual Scuba Cruise, please note that non-divers are welcome to join us. Many return to the Caribbean year after year with us; we plan activities and shore excursions for the non-divers in the group. Some have family members and friends who are diving with us, while others take advantage of our group amenities and enjoy our company.

 

What ever your situation, know that all group members receive the same group perks and are invited to join in all group activities.

 

As more information becomes available, it will be posted at the Group Forum; if you have questions or would like us to send you our brochure via email, please contact the group leader.

 

Thanks.
