Shore excursions for Easter Caribbean cruise for first timers

[Calantha]

If you want a full snorkel day I could recommend Aristocat (non Disney excursion) on Tortola. Very good snorkel outing but it’s pretty much all snorkeling, like three spots plus lunch and no beach time.

Which one did you go on? I was looking at Norman Island...and I don't really want a full day of snorkeling necessarily. Or rather, did people just hang out on the boat or swim if they didn't want to snorkel?

We did Norman but at that time it was 3 snorkel spots and lunch and that’s it. Their website now says for cruise guests they try to ensure some beach time for one of the stops so I think that is new. And yes some people didn’t snorkel and just hung on boat to either sunbathe, sit in shade, have beer wine or sodas etc.

Thanks! Yes, I think some people in my party will want to snorkel, but at least one person will want to just stay on the boat.
