RCCI ship excursions

[Natitude61]

Still holding out hope that we’ll be on Freedom the end of January, but assuming we’ll be limited to ship excursions if we do sail. Anyone been on any can’t miss RCCI excursions that you can recommend? Thoughts on best island — St Lucia, Barbados, or Antigua — for snorkeling? Thanks in advance!

Can't comment on St. Lucia or Barbados but Antigua is not noted for good snorkelling.

If you don't have to take a Royal excursion, I would opt for Barbados for snorkeling, and take a catamaran to swim with the turtles, then they take you to a wreck or two that you snorkel over, lunch and open bar included for $125.00 to $150.00 per person.  We used Calypso (twice!).  St. Lucia we did a land/boat tour, and Antigua, a private land tour.

In years past, we booked our snorkeling with turtles excursion with Stephen from Thriller Tours.  EXCELLENT!

Sorry, I meant to post this in the Barbados boards.

We used Calypso twice!! Love Nic, Val and Dwight. Barbados is the best choice of the 3 islands you mentioned. Calypso Girl is the way to go my friend Adelle (The Bun Mom) booked this excursion twice for us. One of the best snorkel tours in the southern Caribbean.
