Ty both! Sounds like DIY is the best way to go. I just need to pick a beach now 🙂

Hi Everyone! We will be in St Thomas in March and we are looking to do a 1/2 day snorkeling/beach day and then take the Skyride up in the afternoon. We are docked from 8-5 at Crown Bay and we appear to be the only cruise ship in both ports that day. Celebrity offers a Buck Island and Water Island by Catamaran excursion but it doesn't leave until 9:30am, which cuts into our afternoon time a little. They also do not have any reviews on their website and I can't find a similar tour not through the cruise ship. Another option we were considering was just taking the ferry to Water Island ourselves at 9am, which then we could leave when we are ready. Has anybody taken that Celebrity excursion before? Any other suggestions? We haven't been to St Thomas before so everything will be new for us. Thanks!

Hi everyone! My husband and I are departing on a Celebrity cruise out of San Juan in March and I am struggling to nail down a plan on what to do. This is our first time sailing with Celebrity and out of San Juan. We will be arriving the day prior around lunchtime; however, it is an early flight so we want to keep any activity low key. As of right now we were thinking of just walking around San Juan, taking in the surroundings and finding some good food before heading to our hotel for an early night. Our cruise doesn't depart until 8:30pm, which I can't find it now but I believe I saw somewhere that embarkation starts around 5pm? I also read somewhere that they generally let people on earlier than that but I would rather not sit at the port waiting if they don't. I really wanted to do a stop at El Yunque and was thinking we would have enough time to do this day of embarkation. Has anybody done that before and did it work out okay time wise? The other thing is this would be a Saturday. Most of the tours I am looking at indicate the hike is longer and more strenuous on Saturdays due to a different departure point. We are in our late 30's but not in the best of shape so I am worried it might be too much for us. Anybody have any experience with the tougher hike? After our cruise we have a late flight that departs after 4pm. We were thinking of doing the Celebrity excursion Old San Juan tour with airport drop-off. Hubby does not want to do the rainforest option and then get on a flight. Would love to hear about anyones experiences/reviews and/or alternative suggestions based on our timetables. Thanks so much!

We got our "You've Been Verified" email on Nov 25th, which was shortly after we submitted the verification info. We have not yet received the expected email today. I had reached out to the Live Chat and they were unable to provide me any information aside from the webpage with the offer details. We have been holding off booking a cruise so we are a bit impatient 🙂
