travgurl Posted June 17, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2007 We have booked the snorkel excursion to Sting Ray alley with this company. I have read only great reviews on this board about their excursions. I do not think you can go wrong booking wiht them. We cruise in July and I am looking forward to the excursion.

Penny's Loafer Posted June 18, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Just got back from a week on the Valor today. We didn't do the Manatees, but we did the Stringray/Shark Alley and Barrier reef trip through Coral Breeze. It was the highlight of our cruise. I'm a bit tired but will post a full review tomorrow.

skywalker808 Posted July 3, 2007 #6 Share Posted July 3, 2007 BANNISTER ISLAND I'm writing to let you know what a great time we had with the crew from Hammerhead. Mr. Big and James were great. They pointed out things and took the time to explain any questions we had. Our group asked if we could skip the manatee watch as it is not a good time of year to see them, so our crew took us back out for more snorkeling. What a great group. It was amazing to see them get as excited as us by the large schools of fish. It is easy to tell they enjoy their jobs and teaching others about their country. I was pleasantly surprised by this tour and would recommend it to everyone! Thanks again for a great time. Jeffery O. Omaha, NE Carnival Valor June 11, 2007 mmerhead Sports.

cruiseplannertoo Posted July 8, 2007 #7 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I posted this a few minutes ago on the Bannister Island thread, but we had a great time so I wanted to post it here too: We were on the Carnival Glory and did this fabulous excursion with Coral Breeze last week! My husband, three daughters (ages 8, 11 and 14) and I all had a great time!! Bannister Island is absolutely beautiful - one of the most beautiful beaches we'ver ever seen! Mr. Big, Justin and the crew from Coral Breeze were great. About 1/2 way through snorkeling my 8 year old bumped into the coral and was very upset so Justin put her on his back and swam her back to the boat and treated her 'wound' with vinegar and she was happy and feeling much better when we got back to the boat. We snorkeled about an hour and then went back to Bannister Island for 2 hours. When we left the island, we went to look for manatees and we saw about 6 different ones within about 15-20 minutes and it was so cool! I highly recommend this excursion!! I booked it on their webiste only 6 days before we were there because we changed our mind about cave tubing. I'm so glad we switched to this excursion!! http://www.coralbreezetours.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
