Norman island vs catamaran sailing snorkel

I am looking at booking an excursion for our upcoming NCL gem cruise with a stop in Tortola from 7 a.m. till 1 p.m. trying to decide which of the two snorkeling trips would be better any suggestions one way or the other

Which is the longer of the two you're deciding between?

Not sure what you're comparing...Can you describe these choices?

What catamaran and where does it go?

How are you getting to NI? And does that include the caves, Indians, etc?

That's the problem, NCL's website doesn't really give a very good description and there are no videos so I'm not sure how to compare them

Any reviews on the NCL site board that may help?

The east side is great including the caves, Indians, hard to choose though with no details as you said. The Aristocrat is used for ship excursions, is there a picture?

I am making a guess but suspect that the one that mentions Norman will go to make a snorkel stop (probably at teh Indians) and a stop at the island, while the other (based on the descriptions on the NCL site) will do exactly the same thing.

There is a nice restaurant at Norman.

Over the years we have taken several variations of Catamaran Snorkeling Sail in Tortola but they were on Princess and Celebrity cruises.

On all of these we had one snorkel stop at some caves and a beach stop on Norman Island that had a great beach bar/restaurant called Pirates Bight.

It's a beautiful sail and has always been one of our favorite excursions. :)

We've always picked the above because it mentioned the beach stop while the Norman Island Sail did not. If I recall correctly, the Norman sail had two snorkel stops. This may not still be the case. Things do change.
