Any experience with these excursions? Or any others you would suggest? A couple are already sold out.

We did the Kittiwake twice. It's by far our favorite excursion on a Caribbean cruise. The usual stops to snorkel are wonderful, as is the return to the beach on the catamaran, when they raise de sail and cut the motor. They sometimes change the places where you get to go in the water based on weather - the Kittiwake stop can be dangerous when the wind is too high - but they have alternatives.

This tour is not appropriate for someone with little swimming experience or with mobility issues. Getting on the ship from the water can be challenging.

We did the Nautilus tour, not with a snorkel add-on, and it was quite fun, but it's best suited for families with young kids. Once and done for us for that one.

We did Stingray and 2 stop snorkel by Captain Marvin's in Grand Cayman (in 2019). They were great and right near the port and it seemed like other cruise lines were using them for their port adventure. This was the cheapest option I had found at the time and they did a great job. Back in 2019 they even allowed one 5 minute phone call back to the States after you completed your excursion with them.
