Can anyone advise me if I should make a reservation for snorkel gear at Castaway Cay or just want and rent it when we get on the island? We are going to be there on 4th of July.
FWIW you MUST have fins (per DH, who snorkeled twice with DS on our Double Dip cruise).
I will be buying my own and bringing them on board. I just feel iffy about using something that others put their mouths on.
plus, for the price, i can reuse mine over and over. I'll buy them at Sam's or Costco.
You can bring your own and they will give you that vest to use.
You do realize all the silverware in ANY restaurant has been in someone mouth before? Same with the glassware. And just think of the sheets on the beds.
Do you get to snorkel in a different spot on Castaway Cay if you reserve ahead of time? Or is it the same spot for everyone?

Are you sure? We brought our own masks and snorkels, and got the vests for free from the rental desk. We didn't have fins, and nobody implied that we needed them. We snorkeled all the way out and back without them. The swim seemed a lot farther on the way back, and fins honestly would have been nice, but nobody said that they were required.
For $25, you can often find a complete set including fins at Costco or Walmart. It means more to pack, but it's worth it in my opinion since you can use them again.
