Champagne Reef Snorkeling - Cruise Line Fans: Cruise Forum, Reviews and Chat From Real Cruisers

One thing we've always wanted to do is take this catamaran excursion to snorkel and play in the water with bubbles over that submerged volcano at Champagne Reef.

Unfortunately, every time we've booked it ... it's been cancelled for one reason of another!

Just received the excursion information for our upcoming cruise. The time for this excursion is 8:00 AM - 11:30 AM. That means we'd have to meet at 7:45 AM ... and get up really early if we want to eat something for breakfast.

As much as we've always wanted to do this, just not so sure we'd want to be swimming over a volcono at that hour of the morning ....

Lulu, why not order room service for breakfast and then you wouldn''t be rushed? I certainly would if I wanted to go! And thats not so early if you aren't up all night carousing the bars and the casino

... but, Hanna, I'm not sure I want to do it THAT much ....

Bet you wouldn't want to have to tell your DH that he needed to get up in the middle of the night (PST...your time) to take you to swim over a volcano!

Lulu,

Skip the catamaran and just take a taxi to the site and you can go when you want.

Cheryl .... Thanks for your reply. Thing is we ONLY want to go by catamaran.

We've been by and seen ... and ... know we wouldn't want to deal with all of those rocks by land. Too much of a "rocky" climb down for us.

This might not bother others and good for them to know.

Have you ever done this (land or sea)? If so, would love your opinion .....
