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!

It's anchors aweigh for a wonderful cruise from the pier along the beautiful North Coast of Ocho Rios. You will pass Dolphin Cove, Dunn's River Falls, luxury homes, Laughing Waters, site of many feature motion pictures, and hotels before reaching the Blundel House, a beach residence directly on a white-sand beach. 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. You can then relax or go snorkeling off the beach at this coral underwater wonderland. You will spend approximately four hours at the Blundel House before boarding an air-conditioned vehicle that will take you to the pier.

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,

Sorry not to be of more help! Our cruise on MarinerOTS is not until January.

Now, I need YOUR help! Please report back when you return and tell us what you decided to do!

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.
