Sunset excursion - confused!

I've also posted this on the P&O Board....

We're going to the Caribbean in 3 weeks and a little confused by one of the trips on offer.

The Sunset Cruise in St Lucia departs at 18:00 per the cruise personaliser and is a 2 hour trip to the Pitons.

However, everything I've found online seems to indicate that sunset on the day we're there is 17:33 and we know it's usually completely dark around 30 mins later.

It seems strange that the excursion leaves half an hour after sunset.

Maybe we're missing something obvious?

Yup. That's too late to see the sunset, or even much of the Pitons at all once it's dark....

What are tour times in port also, as most ships are out of here by 5 pm, 6 at the latest. It would be unusual to have your ship here till 8 or later at night..

Best bet is to call P&O excursion department and ask them....

Hope it works out for you.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts - think we might give this tour a miss!

Ship is docked until midnight!!
