Ethelina - We parasailed at CC last year, and it was great!
You can sign up for excursions, such as this one, by phone once the cruise is 60 days out. I suggest doing it as soon as you can, because it is a popular excursion and it fills up fast. I also suggest booking the earliest time you can, so it doesn't interrupt your day, but rather leaves all afternoon open for you to enjoy the island!! Ours was at 10:30 I believe. We were back, changed and on the island by noon.
They take 6 to 8 people out on each boat. Once they get out far enough away from the ship, up you go!! Each person takes a turn, of course, but some people go tandem. That was the only boring part about it, waiting while everyone else did it !!
They take you up a couple of hundred feet, and just pull you around for 8-9 minutes. It doesn't sound like a very long time, but it is a nice enjoyable ride. Once you are up there, it is so quiet that you cannot even hear the boat's engine! It is a very peaceful experience. Last year, it cost $70.00 per person.
Email me if you're interested in a copy of our video of the experience!!
