LOVETOCRUISE! Posted February 11, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2005 :D A group just returned from cruising on Royal Caribbean and decided to take our 'own' tour. We chose Seafari's island excursion. The crew, the trip, the view, the snorkeling... everything was SPECTACULAR! They picked us up at the dock, and we literally toured around the ENTIRE island. The crew was knowledgable and made every effort to show us the 'hot spots' too. They became group photographers, local subject matter experts, comedic relief and not to mention WONDERFUL hosts. We have cruised several times and by far this was one of the best excursions without the normal 'hurry up and wait' we get from the cruise ships. NOT to mention we were limited to 25 people on this excursion so there was plenty of personal attention. We were able to snorkel in what the locals call the Garden of Eden, and it was nothing less than spectacular. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour in lieu of anything that a cruise ship has to offer and do not hesitate one second in setting this up for you and your friends. A group of 12 set off that day for a "3 hour tour" and were NOT disappointed, although being stranded would not have been a bad thing! If in Antigua.. BOOK THIS! You will not be disappointed. It was fabulous on Feb 2nd of 2005!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVETOCRUISE! Posted February 18, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted February 18, 2005 We booked through a local tour group and it was the best experience we did! They made it easy and we did not have to worry about a thing. Her name was Paulene Brown and here are the contact details....... National Tours & Services [nationaltours@candw.ag] Paula Brown National Tours & Services Lightfoot Development St. John's Antigua Tel.: 1-268 462-7979 Fax: 1-268 462-7978 We could not book this through the Royal Caribbean Excursions, and you can find their excursions on their own website (royal Caribbean). We have found their prices slightly higher than if you make your own arrangments, however Royal does offer a vast array of choices. Don't let this one pass you by however. Contact Paula yourself and see what she can do for you or your group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
