Labadee: Snorkel Excursion through Cruise?

[kathew]

Has anyone ever done the snorkel excursion through the cruise? It is only $48.. this seems like a decent deal, but is it worth it?

We did the snorkel safari excursion on Labadee when we were on the Oasis of the Seas recently. Not sure if this is the same excursion that is offered on your cruise, but we all really enjoyed the excursion. It was a 2 hr long excursion, short boat ride, and then over an hour to snorkel. Lots of fish and coral, crew was good on the boat. Overall, the 4 of us enjoyed the excursion.

What type of boat did you snorkel out of..my parents want to snorkel but are in their 80's not sure if they can pull themselves up on a ladder on the side of a boat. thanks

Just reread that snorkel safari excursion and it says they use a catamaran.

Well on Celebrity they cancelled it because the boat was "broken." I Think it's because there was only 7 us signed up to go... so they charged us more to go on a small speed boat tour.

 

NO WORTH IT. The staff was kind of rude & gave no directions. Hardly any fish. (we had much better luck just snorkeling from the beach in Labadee)

 

However... Labadee is BEAUTIFUL and it was nice to see the island from a different point of view.
