michaelnixon Posted September 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I will be aboard the Carnival Liberty when it visits Grand Cayman on December 5th. Also in port that day will be the Carnival Magic, Norwegian Pearl, Norwegian Jewel, Coral Princess, and Oceania Riviera. I really want to book a tour to interact with the stingrays; however, I am hesitant that the experience will be ruined with all of the people partaking in this excursion at the same time. Does anybody have any experience with a stingray excursion with so many ships in port? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58Piano Posted September 16, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2013 How did you find this information about what ships are in port? On tripadvisor Captain Marvin's stingray tours are highly rated. This is the origan tour group since 1951. So we thought we would try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmacmissy Posted September 17, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2013 If you go to http://www.cruisecal.com it will tell you what other ships are in port with you (just click on 'itinerary'). We used Capt Marvin and i'll tell you exactly what I hated about it- we got in early, at 8am, and they waited for three other ships to dock for other passengers from other ships that booked. So we didn't start out for Stingray City until 2 hours later. By the time we got there, there were so many boats and people and few rays. My advice: book thru your cruiseline for this one, then you can be assured you'll leave at a set time. Or, book a private tour, join your cruise roll call, and try to fill up your tour with people from your ship. Good luck! Oh, and Nativeway gets good reviews, too.

OCruisers Posted September 17, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2013 In late December there are always lots of ships in Grand Cayman ... the beginning of "high season" in the Caribbean. Don't let the number of ships keep you from booking a stingray excursion. You'll be fine and still have a good time. :) LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerReuv Posted September 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2013 We are doing Native Way in October for the Stinray City & Snorkle tour. Cheaper than others and they have great reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
