Any imput????

I found this excursion that people have talked about favorably: http://www.sailingsxm.com/eagle.htm

I don't know if the times will work out for your cruise ship or not. I would suggest that you e-mail them and ask.

Have you checked the boards over at cruisecritic, too? Here is a link to the St. Maarten board: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum...sprune=-1&f=93

Have a great time!

vivi .... Don't know about you ... but ... sometime we like to vary what we do in each port. Some are just better for snorkeling than others.

Normally, in St.Maarten ... we use it as a beach day. Sure, you certainly can snorkel there BUT it's not known for great snorkeling.

Possibly, you will also have a port stop in St.Thomas? An excursion from there to St.John will give you a much happier snorkel experience.

Whatever .... Just being out in the beautiful water is ENOUGH!

Have a wonderful cruise! LuLu

When were in Nassau, we got a tour from an operator that was at the end of the pier. He showed us his ID and then we decided on a price: $25 pp. He took us on a tour around Nassau, then to Atlantis. We went through the casino and the digs. It was a great tour. Here is a link to Atlantis. The Chihuly glass sculptures are absolutely amazing!
