Beach Getaway to Blundel House: Has anyone taken this shore excursion or do you know anyone who has?

It's a bit expensive so I'd really like to to have some comments before booking it!

Any and all info would be greatly appreciated!

This five bedroom home, once a vacation habitat for Heads of State and celebrities, will provide a special treat as the staff prepares a delicious lunch which comes with rum and fruit punch.

Thanks so very much, Chud! Just wanted a "rec" from other cruisers. Sounds GREAT!

Hey LuLu,

Did you get to go on this excursion?
If so, I'm considering it too and looking for some review.

Thanks,

Hey Lulu!

This is the one thing I really wanted to do in Ocho Rios and I was so bummed out when it wasn't offered anymore. This was the only thing in Ocho Rios that I found that I actually wanted to do. I know everyone says to do Dunns Falls but I was looking for more "relaxing" things to do as the reason I'm going to destress from work, (I'm the only girl in my dept. of about 30 guys... I need to relax!!! lol).

I hope they bring this back by the time comes around to purchasing excursions.
