Has anyone done this Carnival excursion? Would you recommend it? It says a speedboat takes you to the turtles and a shipwreck, but it doesn't name the tour operator.

This was by far the best excursion we did on our first Southern Caribbean cruise. We had a wonderful day snorkeling with the turtles and over the shipwreck, then a very relaxing couple hours on a beautiful deserted beach with lots of rum punches.

Not sure who the operator was but it doesn't matter - the excursion was perfect.:)

Fabulous! That's what I was hoping to hear! So what did you do on St. Lucia? I am thinking about Cosol, open to any other ideas!

We didn't do anything on St. Lucia but on Antiqua we went to Prickley Pear Island and snorkeled. It was fabulous. This was the best excursion of our 2008 cruise. Here is the info.
