Parasailing

[paulsimm]

Does anyone have any recommendations (port, company) for parasailing. Sailing the Eastern Caribbean on the Jewel. Thanks.

After researching it on here, St. Maarten Orient Beach is the cheapest beach to do it. My bf and I parasailed on Orient Beach and it was I think $90 for the 2 of us.

so gemz, did you feel safe. I heard that you really have to watch amd make sure the company is responsible and obeys all the safelty regulations.

 

Is there any excursion thru RCC that you can parasail? I would love to do this somewhere. We are doing the southern caribbean

Try your luck on the "Ask a cruise question" board. You should get many opinions from folks on every cruiseline.

We felt safe, never questioned our safety at all. It was a busy shop near where the taxi let us off. They took credit card. We were able to leave our belongings there and didn't worry about it. Took a waverunner out to the boat (fun!!!) and then on the boat there were other people going up. We really enjoyed it. Highlight of our cruise :)

Royal Caribbean offers it on CocoCay and Labadee. The excursion lasts about an hour but you are only in the air about 10 minutes. IMHO it is a huge ripoff through RCI. I was very disappointed in their advertising this as a one hour excursion. My son and I paid $79 each for a 50 minute boat ride and a 10 minute parasail ride. The 10 minutes in the air were fantastic but not worth $158.
