happy2gocruising Posted December 3, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Has anyone done the all-day exclusive excursion at either Sandals or Breezes in Jamaica? My husband and I will be on FOS 12/21 and are considering one or the other. Any and all opinions are most appreciated! 19 more days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover Posted December 3, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2008 We went to the Sunset Grande Resort in Sept. Very Nice and a great Bargain. Day Pass was $45 if I recall right which included All you can drink YEA Alcohol on non. Lunch and a snack if you choose, access to all 5-6 pools and water slide. Check out their website. You cant go wrong very nice place.:D http://www.sunsetjamaicagrande.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily14 Posted December 3, 2008 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2008 We did the Breezes excursion through RCCL in October. The beach was very nice and they had a boat that took you out for some pretty impressive snorkeling. There were 2 pools, one "infinity" pool and another, quieter pool. The grounds were nice, but I wouldn't consider it a luxury resort by any means. We weren't impressed with the food, but the drinks were fine. It was about a 20 minute drive out to the resort. We enjoyed the day, but I didn't feel it was worth the price we paid. Next time, I think we will try the Sunset Grande. We could see the Sunset Grande from the ship and it looked pretty nice and is 1/2 the price of the Breezes excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you able to leave your personal items on your chaise lounge & snorkel/swim & not worry about theft? Or did Breezes provide lockers? We booked the same shore excursion for our 1/4 panama crossing. Thanks. Saitken69 Costa Mesa, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy2gocruising Posted December 4, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thanks for the helpful info. :) I'm getting the sense we should stay away from Breezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saitken69 Costa Mesa, CA There were no lockers, but since it was mostly resort guests, we felt comfortable leaving our bag on a lounge chair unattended. I did have an older Ipod and an inexpensive camera in the bag, but I have a surf safe for our cruise cards, cash, etc. that I wear while swimming/snorkeling.

cruz_luvr1 Posted December 17, 2008 #10 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi Mitzi, I'm going to be there President's Week on the Freedom (RCL). I just called the resort, and their day pass went up to $60 for adults and $30 for kids up to 15 (not bad at all) - not $80. The person who quoted that must have confused this resort with a different one. And by the way, the day pass is the same for both the Sunset resort in Ocho Rios and Montego Bay. I was at the one in Montego Bay five years ago on another cruise and it was amazing. At that time, the day pass was $20 for adults and $10 for kids for all day, all you can eat and drink and all non-motorized water sports. But I still think $60 is reasonable for all that.
