Fins or What !! ?

[bluenile]

Hi Guys !
Could you please help me out on this one!, my wife and myself are going on a Caribbean cruise in February 2009, As we both like to do a bit of snorkeling and have our own gear , is it possible to hire out fins & mask over there and is it quite reasonable to rent , I have already posted this question on a different thread ! sorry , and thank you in advance
for any info given!

They're not available to hire on the ship. I took my own when we went on the Christmas one, but of course it eats into your weight allowance! If you plan on going snorkelling on an organised trip from the ship, I would imagine that they will be provided free of charge - I know they were available on the boat trip we went on in St Lucia. Alternatively, if you plan on doing your own thing, you could buy some when you get there for use throughout the cruise, rather than chance an excess baggage charge.

Always take my own equipment - nice to know where it's been ! Worth leaving a couple of bits of clothing home for ! (or paying the excess like I will have to !)
