Excursions and snorkeling

[3GuysandaMom]

Help fellow snorkelers...
We're sailing on the 1/26 cruise (excited!), but didn't pre-arrange for a snorkel excursion for myself and DH. HELP! Couple of questions --

1. Will snorkeling excursions still be available for us to sign up for once we're on the ship? Do they usually get enough people in the pre-booking stage for snorkeling that they are closed for all of us who wait to get on the ship and sign up? Is there availability?

2. Ideally, my DH and I both want to snorkel and would like to go on the same day, but at different times. We have an infant and we thought one person could go in the morning and one in the afternoon. If you sign up for a snorkeling adventure that has two time slots (7:30 and 12:30), do the two groups cross paths on the ship? That would be ideal for handing over the DS.

3. How does the sign-up for excursions work on the ship? Should we run directly to the desk(?) once onboard? Will there be someone to answer our questions?

Thanks!

You should have no problems making excursion arrangements for yourselves....The excursion desk is on Deck 3. Check your navigator for hours. We snorkeled only on Castaway Cay, so I only have experience there. My suggestion is to reserve 1 snorkel excursion.....it is good for all day! Then whoever wants to go can go while the other stays with ds....and use it all day. I'm not sure if the excursion desk is open when you board or not. There is always someone to ask who can help you out....
Have an absolutely incredible time!

Thank you. Sounds like we'll be set for snorkeling on Castaway Key.

How about St. Marten and St. Thomas? Are those booked early?
