WVGirl Posted August 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2008 We are booked on the June 21, 09 sailing of FOS...we will be traveling with family from ages 10 to 72. Any suggestions for a relaxing day? Beach trip? Stingray City? Is Stingray City scary? All suggestions welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annieeee Posted August 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I was on the Stngray excuursion a few years ago. We had all ages in our group,up to 84 years of age. Everyone had a great time. After Stingray we were taken to Rum's Point for lunch and it is a very nice beach. Great fun for kids too as the beach was very, very calm.

FOXTROT Posted August 8, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Everyone will have a blast at Stingray City. Email Sharon at Nativeway NATIVWAY@CANDW.KY to book. We like their Ray, Reef & Rum Point excursion. Or just do their Stingray City tour & you will have time to go to Hell.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplyred0714 Posted August 8, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2008 By far, the best excursion we have ever been on. My daughter (8 at the time) was scared for all of about 10 minutes and then had the time of her life...still asks when we can swim with the stingrays again...two years later! You will not regret it! Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzobsessed Posted August 8, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2008 another vote for NATIVEWAY REEF RAYS AND RUM POINT. 1st you go to a reef to snorkel.....then they take you to sting ray city and finally to the beach which i'm sure is the same one you see on the corona beer commercials. while you're onboard and on your way to rum point......they hand you a menu and they order your lunch which is waiting for you on the beach when you arrive. fabulous service and in our top 3 excursions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn the Cruiser Posted August 8, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The Boatswaine Beach and Turtle farm was a good excursion for all ages. I had been to the turtle farm before, but not since it had a complete overhaul after the hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodester Posted August 8, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Book the snorkeling and Stingray City tour through Captain Marvin. It was the best excursion I've had in three cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdmike Posted August 8, 2008 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Book the snorkeling and Stingray City tour through Captain Marvin. It was the best excursion I've had in three cruises. Agree 100%. Captain Marvins was great. Book it on your own. It's a short walk from the pier. We got to stingray city before the big boats full of "shore excursion" folks, and we had stingrays everywhere.

Rare chiguy67 Posted August 8, 2008 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Stingray City--definately!!!! Great experience!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieH Posted August 8, 2008 #10 Share Posted August 8, 2008 2 yrs ago we did the Stingray tour. I loved it. My youngest was 2 at the time, and had no problem being in the water. Im guessing she had no idea what was really going on;) . It was my 7 yr old who was afraid to get off the boat:rolleyes: .. After some pep talks from several people she got off and had a great time. She couldnt let her older brother and younger sister have all the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_nyc Posted August 8, 2008 #12 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Everyone will have a blast at Stingray City. Email Sharon at Nativeway NATIVWAY@CANDW.KY to book. We like their Ray, Reef & Rum Point excursion. Or just do their Stingray City tour & you will have time to go to Hell.:eek: I totally agree, We did their "Ray, Reef & Rum Point" excursion last August and it was one of the best excursions we have been on. Since I have experience running a boat, the captain let me take the wheel for part of they way out to Sting Ray City. It is definitely for ALL ages! If you go I hope you have a GREAT TIME!

cruising ann Posted August 8, 2008 #15 Share Posted August 8, 2008 2 years ago we did stringray city with Capt. Marvin. This was our third time doing it. It was our grandsons ( 5 & 12) first time. They loved the snorkling but wasn't to keen about the sringray. But the one from capt. Marvin brought over a baby stringray so they could both touch it. It was awesome whatever you do have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nellydean Posted August 8, 2008 #16 Share Posted August 8, 2008 If you go to stingray city make sure you do the sandbar tour, where you can stand waist high in the water, because there's another called stingray city which is in about 12 ft of water and much more difficult if you are not confident we went with Capt Marvin last summer and had some VERY BIG stingrays around us, which was quite scary, and they do brush past you - unfortunately, our 13-year-old son had one of the tails scratch his ankle which was painful and he panicked and we had to take him out of the water - thankfully, his screams were not included on the DVD we bought :) we also did the turtle farm and rum cake shop (delicious), but we only had a few minutes in Hell (due to coach being behind schedule and spending far too long at turtle farm) so we didn't spend as much time there as we wanted Grand Cayman is lovely and I would like to go back for a longer visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
