Carnival Deluxe Stingray excursion

[tiwi]

Does anyone know what time this excursion begins? We port at 8:00 am.

 

Trying to determine if we will be able to hit Royal Palms as well as doing this excursion.

 

Thanks for your help!

It's only a 2-3 hour excursion so there might be 2 or 3 on any given ship day.

 

If you catch the first one, it'll probably be around 9AM or 9:30AM start time. Might be earlier, but just because the ship arrives at 8AM doesn't mean the first tender leaves the ship at 8AM. The Shore Excursion desk will let you know if that's where you're getting your tickets/reservations. So you'd probably be back at the tender area by noon.

 

You can look for independent operators and perhaps shorter you time a bit as you would have to wait for others and the operator might be able to drop you off at Royal Palms. Cost may be less as well. But you might lose some start time if you can't catch an early tender. It's a great thing to do in GC if you've never done it before.
