"Tiami Five-Star Catamaran w/Lunch & TURTLE Encounter" REPORT
Tiami Five-Star Catamaran w/Lunch & Turtle Encounter
Ships Excursion -- 5 1/2 Hours
This excursion was sooooo Woth It!
We met outside of the cruise terminal and were driven a short way in an air-conditioned tour bus to board the very nice roomy sailing catamaran.
First, we did the stop to "Swim with the Turtles". We saw LOTS & LOTS of sea turtles and also ... ... some really HUGE fish! No kidding -- some were over 6 feet long! Thank goodness they warned us about this and told us these fish were harmless ... or I would have totally freaked!
Next, we were off to the beach. The catamaran pulled in very close to shore. Easy walk in -- about waist deep for me (5'2''). Lots of help from the crew for any who needed it.
Lovely palm-lined beach -- white sand & gentle blue water. Some swam to a near by reef to snorkel and seemed to enjoy that as well. We were there for about two hours -- could get on & off the catamaran as we pleased.
Lunch: Fried Flying Fish "The National Dish of Barbados", ...and also ...chicken, pasta/cheese casserole, beans & rice, corn, salad, etc. It was good ... especially, the Flying Fish!
There was a well-stocked open bar at n/c. Also, bottles of champagne were opened and served.
The crew was OUTSTANDING! They waited on us hand and foot.
Can't say enough good things about this excursion!
We had a totally WONDERFUL DAY!
