It was booked out completely on our ship last week. Supposed to be pretty good - we ended up booking the snorkelling one for 3 hours which was just ok I though.

Did the Catamaran Fan-ta-sea excursion in the beginning of February off the Serenade. Windy day, rainy in the morning but nice and clear once we boarded the cat. Fun day. Crew is fantastic. Food was great! Very relaxing day.

There was a group that did this on our recent Explorer cruise in Feb. They had a blast! Rum punch was flowing all day and they all had a great time.

We just did this excursion March 12 from the Celebrity Summit. The excursion was a lot fun and the crew was excellent. Next time we're in St. Kitts we'll do this excursion again.

Just back from this exursion while onboard the Equinox. Staff was very friendly and beach and food on Nevis was very good. Drinks flowed. However snorkleing was only average and the catamaran was WAY overcrowded. Might go back if traveling with friends who wanted to go, but not by ourselves.

I will be on Summit in November. Last time I was in St Kitts (back in 2010)
I took a sightseeing tour and this time I was thinking about something
in the water area....this sounds good. I can't book excursions yet but
this may be at the top of my list now

I did the Fan-Ta-Sea a few years ago. The cat ride and the snorkeling were excellent. We snorkeled at the far end of the island, near the channel between St. Kitts and Nevis. The barbecue food was very good but there were ants in the grass and we were barefoot (we had to hand over our footwear as we boarded the cat). I still have bite marks on my foot from that. Also, the beach in Nevis was not very good. The sand was very coarse and there was a pretty big drop once you got into the water which made getting out very difficult. Lastly, when we arrived back it was raining. The crew put out the bins with our footwear on the dock in the rain. Everything got soaked. It just wasn't my day, I guess. Next visit to St. Kitts, in November, I'm just sticking to the beach. If anyone hasn't done the railroad, I highly recommend it. It's not cheap but I thought it was worth it. One of the most pleasant experiences I've had in the islands.
