tkswening Posted July 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Anyone have any reviews of this excursion with Carnival? It shows to have 4.5 stars but for some reason the reviews are not coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbtbear Posted August 18, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 18, 2019 We're going soon on August 28. I'll try to remember to come back and let you know how it was! But in the meantime, have you checked again for reviews? Plenty come up when I look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmckinn Posted August 19, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Just got back from doing this excursion. The snorkeling part of this excursion was good. Got to snorkel about 35 minutes at each stop. As with most Carnival excursions there are too many people (probably 50) so it is pretty crowded compared to what you'd get with a private company. The beach part of the excursion is a joke especially if you have the afternoon session which we did. The beach part of the excursion is done first in the afternoon session. We had a nice spot on the beach when we first got off the boat. Then we had to go check in for the excursion at 2:00. After waiting for a while they bused us to the beach about 100 feet from where we were before (you can walk to this spot in 5 minutes or less). We supposedly had free beach chairs, but the nice ones with cushioned seats and umbrellas were already take so we were stuck with a painted wooden chair in the back with no umbrella. They didn't tell you anything about where to go or how long to wait, but ended up waiting about an hour for the boat to arrive to go snorkeling. Got back around 5:30 right before you had to be on the boat. I would try to get the morning session or book a similar private excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did this excursion last week on the Carnival Magic, although our afternoon tour was cancelled for low enrollment and we were combined with the morning tour. We found the above experience to be spot on. Both snorkel spots were good, but crowded. The staff was also great. The beach was fine, but was our last stop. We bought some fries and beers from the bar and ate while the kids played in the water. Then we walked back to Margaritaville, washed our feet off and went shopping on our way back to the ship.
