Stevesan Posted January 15, 2013 #27 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Thanks! I purchased mine through Lands End. http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-aquaterra-long-sleeve-rash-guard~246901_59.html Another cheer leader for rash guard shirts. I always wear mine for UV protection. My Body Glove is 50UVP. It's also good for deterring the little stingy things. Nearly all sporting goods and dive shop stores carry them. It's a good idea to try it on. Most are tight (they are designed for surfers), so size fit is important. BTW - Body Glove usually has "loose fit" shirts for those of us with a bit of a bulge around the middle.:p Try Dick's Sporting Goods. http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=4417978&sr=1&origkw=rashguard Edited January 15, 2013 by Stevesan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkhorn20fan Posted January 15, 2013 #28 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Francoiszqc, just swim off the main beach to the left as you get off the ship, keep swiimming around the rocks to the right as you look out to sea, and you will find a great reaf and lots of fish.

S&M in Pgh Posted January 16, 2013 #30 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Depends on what you consider cold. Water temps will be about mid 70's. Here in Pittsburgh our rivers will be in the 70's in July so I can stay in that water for about 30 min before my body temp gets to low. I would take the shorty. And get out ever once in a while and warm up in the sun. Enjoy. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tys Mom Posted January 21, 2013 Author #31 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thank you for all of your information. I have always done my Caribbean travel in late spring or fall when the water is warmer. It looks like I will need something for added warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chsalas Posted January 21, 2013 #32 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Make sure you stop in the Horizon Court for a few buns, take them to the island and feed the fish, have fun I usually go snorkeling at least twice on most cruisesand usually grab a box of corn flakes to take with me. They are in plastic bag, take it into the water and pop it a few feet below water, the fish swarm, little scary but fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted January 21, 2013 #33 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The water temp on Honeymoon Beach, Water Island was 83F two days ago on 1/19. PC was probably a couple degrees cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria1963 Posted January 22, 2013 #34 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Was there on the 11th and the 18th January and it rained both days and was cloudy for most of both days. It's all very well organised and I'm sure its lovely in the sunshine but since we didn't see any i wouldn't rush back! Bit of a disappointment but the weather is the one thing you can't plan for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbird81 Posted January 17, 2014 #35 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Nor sure if this applies but I was surf fishing at Princess Cayes early Dec 2012 and found the water really warm. was only up to knees but got wet from the waves hitting you as you were fishing. Was in the water for about 2 hours and did not feel cold at all. The ocean was warm it was not cold at all compared to lakes in Ontario Canada. I am a person who gets chilled easy. Hope this helps and have a great time.:) I second this...Lake Huron is arctic compared to Princess Cays. The water was a bit cold, but that's exactly what we expected. It just takes a minute or two to get used to it. I don't think a wet suit is really mandatory for the cold...unless the ship diverts to the Arctic at some point.

FritzG Posted January 18, 2014 #36 Share Posted January 18, 2014 We're on the Emerald now, and we were at Princess Cays today. It was a bit cool, but people were snorkeling. By the feeding area most of the snorkelers seemed to be crew members because they were mostly young men, and no one was speaking English. There were a few passengers, and they said the water was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
