Which excursions suck?
 
When I book a cruise I look at all of the excursions but they all look good. Are there any that always suck? I heard a lot of complaints about people going to the Belize city tour. Any other excurions in the Caribbean that always suck?

If your ship gets into San Juan in the evening, then all of the excursions suck. I heard some people went to the Fort Morrow excursion but it was closed when the bus pulled up. That sounds like it would qualify.

I think aby excursion to Coki Beach in St. Thomas sucks. It only costs about $6 per person each way to the beach. Soif your excursion only provides you with transportation and a box lunch, ask yourself if the box lunch is worth that much.

On Celebrity's Galaxy; The St. Kitts Kayaking/Snorkeling tour sucked. The snorkeling was off shore, absolutely nothing to see under the water except for the fire coral that I was lucky to see as I waded in. The current ran from the beach so it was an easy swim out to see the green sea turtle who wasn't home but it was a difficult swim back and there were no fins provided. The kayaking part was okay. I would should have done the Brimstone Fort/rainforest tour. On Aruba, the Red Sail catamaran excursion tour sucked. It was too rough to snorkel, the visability was poor, the ship wreck was just okay but the worst part was that the catamaran was totalling over booked and we were lucky to be able to sit. The best excursion from Galaxy was the sail and snorkel tour to Buck Island. Six passengers on a sail boat, excellent visability and the fun of being on the sail boat was worth the price alone. Equally good was the 5 hour Tiami Catamaran tour that I booked on my own out of Barbados. Excellent vessel, the deck was not worn so no slip and falls, totally uncrowded, attentive crew, excellent meal on china, unlimited drinks and extremely fun!

Any overbooked snorkeling excursion filled with people who have no idea what they are doing, flapping fins in your face and not looking where they are going. You do have to look up once in a while you know!
