4X4 Adeventure & Green Monkey Encounter

[Pittfan763]

Hello to all. New to the board. Planning our first cruise coming up on May 23rd. This is my first cruise, her 2nd. This is also for our Honeymoon (May 15). 4 days away!

 

In any event, we were talking about trying to save money by booking our excursions independently from Carnival. Has anyone had luck with this? Or, is there a website out there that specializes in this?

 

I have been searching the boards, but it has been somewhat of a daunting task to search among all the posts. I scanned for 3 hours yesterday, and I am still looking at a blank page next to all of the port of calls. :)

 

We are leaving out of San Juan. And then moving on to different Ports, and are looking to do the following excursion:

 

Barbados - 4X4 Adeventure & Green Monkey Encounter

 

So, we kind of game planned that we would like to do an excursion at each port. But we would like to save some money by not booking through Carnival. We are also considering the option of booking half of our excursions through Carnival and then the others just get off of the ship, and see what people have to offer to us.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated. Not too sure what I am getting myself in to:)

 

Thanks!

Jason

Hey Jason!

 

Congrats on the nuptials! Have a great honeymoon and cruise.

If you are still checking the boards~~~~~

 

Welcome to Cruise Critics!

I will be visiting Barbados for the first time the fall myself.

 

I have always booked my own tours and saved tons of money and traveled with smaller groups. With a bit of research you can find reputable companies and have awesome experiences!

 

We will book with one of these two in Barbados:

I want to go to the reserve and also swim with the turtles.

 

Let me know what other ports you will be visiting.

If I have been there I will share my experiences and who I booked with.....we have never had a bad excursion yet! ;)
