iceman111 Posted April 30, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2004 worth the money? Can you rent waverunners there? does anyone know approx prices for watersports? Best place out of San Juan, St. Thomas, Coco Cay or Nassau to rent waverunners?

hstrybuf Posted May 1, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 1, 2004 The only answer I can give you is about Blackbeard's Cay. Don't! It's a pleasant enough place if you don't mind the sand fleas, trash in the swimming area, the long ride out and back, and several other tours using the same space.

Family of 14 Posted May 1, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 1, 2004 No to Blackbeards! St. Thomas would be your best bet for renting WR's. Don't know where though. <MARQUEE>Are you sailing on the Mariner 7/18/04?...Click here! or HERE! </MARQUEE> Disney Wonder 3/2000 ~ Disney Magic 9/2000 ~ RCI Vision 2/2001 ~ Carnival Victory 12/2001 ~ Celebrity Millennium 3/2003 ~ RCI Adventure OTS 9/2003 ~ RCI Mariner OTS 7/18/2004 ~ RCI Serenade OTS 9/26/2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbfgator Posted May 1, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I am so confused about this excursion. Seems to get negative & positive posts. If anyone can remember-how long of a boat ride is it to the beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsygirl Posted May 1, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Wow! Now I'm really upset. We've already booked this excursion. I wished I had read these posts first. We've been to Nassau some many times, I thought this might be a nice change. gypsygirl Emerald Seas 1985 Caribe 1986 Carnivale 1991 Westward 1993 Fantasy 1994 Fantasy 1995 Fascination 1997 Destiny 2001 Enchantment 2002 Sovereign 2004 Serenade 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurashelby Posted May 1, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2004 It wasn't awful..but it wasn't that great either. It's just a roped off beach. We found the water to be nice...but it was very hot..not a lot of trees or shade near the beach! (we went in October) I don't remember seeing any waverunners at all. It's right next to the place where they have the stingrays penned up. Laura Roll Call: Mariner 7/11/04...Please Join Us!

Diane&4girls Posted May 1, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Blackbeard's Cay is awful!!! What a disgrace!!!! It was a total waste of $$$$. There was one person trying to serve soft drinks and "real" drinks to 400 people. We decided to take the last tender back to the ship, but it didn't return until 6pm and our ship was due to set sail at 5pm!!!!!!!! Lucky for us the ship waited. We were just in Nassau a couple of weeks ago. We took a taxi to Cabbage Beach and rented waverunners. The kids got their hair braided, as well as some decent snorkeling. There was so much trash inthe water, the kids couldn't snorkel. My youngest daughter got a plastic fork stuck in her hair.

Did you mean the water was dirty at Blackbeard's or Cabbage Beach? I believe the ferry (packed with 150 or more people X 4 ferries) took about 30-45 minutes to get out to the island. The worse part was waiting ship side for the guide to herd all 150 of us in a line all the way over to the ferry dock. A very hot and fairly long walk. Then getting everyone on the ferry and seated. <MARQUEE>Are you sailing on the Mariner 7/18/04?...Click here! or HERE! </MARQUEE> Disney Wonder 3/2000 ~ Disney Magic 9/2000 ~ RCI Vision 2/2001 ~ Carnival Victory 12/2001 ~ Celebrity Millennium 3/2003 ~ RCI Adventure OTS 9/2003 ~ RCI Mariner OTS 7/18/2004 ~ RCI Serenade OTS 9/26/2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane&4girls Posted May 1, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Oh, I'm sorry. The water at Blackbeard's Cay was trashy and cloudy, but at Cabbage Beach it was beautiful. The day we were there, the seas were rough, but that made for even more fun on the waverunners. Yes, you can cancel the excursions. Just email RCI. We all got a refund once we returned from Blackbeard's Cay. Diane Check out our cruise pictures: http://community.webshots.com/user/thebowers 'Til the Navigator Again!

Diane&4girls Posted May 1, 2004 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2004 We paid $100 for 2 waverunners for 30 minutes. It's pretty much free roam. They was a lot of traffic, though. However, it WAS Easter Sunday. Diane Check out our cruise pictures: http://community.webshots.com/user/thebowers 'Til the Navigator Again!

39august Posted May 1, 2004 #13 Share Posted May 1, 2004 to bbfgator-yes, you can cancel your cruise excursion, if it is with RCI. I canceled one prior to one cruise and had my money back on credit card in 3 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsygirl Posted May 1, 2004 #15 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I booked the tour thru RCI. How do I cancel it? gypsygirl Emerald Seas 1985 Caribe 1986 Carnivale 1991 Westward 1993 Fantasy 1994 Fantasy 1995 Fascination 1997 Destiny 2001 Enchantment 2002 Sovereign 2004 Serenade 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted May 2, 2004 #16 Share Posted May 2, 2004 gypsygirl-I'm sure you could call RCI and cancel. I booked on line and cancelled on line. Just go into the shore excursion area and you can follow the instructions. If you have not done a walking tour, I found that most interesting. My comments are on the Bahamas Port of Call board. And someone has responded with a walking tour map if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsygirl Posted May 2, 2004 #17 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Thanks to all for the information. I had booked online so I cancelled online. (At least, I think I did.LOL) We're cruising May 17th so I'm still in the time frame. Does anyone know if they'll send me a confirmation regarding the cancellation? gypsygirl Emerald Seas 1985 Caribe 1986 Carnivale 1991 Westward 1993 Fantasy 1994 Fantasy 1995 Fascination 1997 Destiny 2001 Enchantment 2002 Sovereign 2004 Serenade 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
