Rays and Reef Combo with Lunch

We had to get on tender boats to get to shore. These were ok with exception of their bumping up against the ship during boarding, which jarred most of us on the tender boat. We did the Rays and Reef Combo with Lunch ($94 per adult). This allowed us to snorkel around a coral reef and then visit Stingray City, where we mingled with friendly stingrays. Then we were taken to a beach club resort (which didn’t seem like a resort) and had a lunch. The water and wildlife were really great for snorkeling. We saw eels and friendly sharks as well as some beautifully colored fish. The excursion staff were terrific and friendly. The stingray city was definitely a unique experience that is worth having. The lunch was advertised as “sumptuous” but was really wasn’t all that good (hamburgers, grilled chicken, pasta salad, etc.) The lunch’s only saving grace was that we were really hungry. After eating and lounging on the beach for an hour and a half or so, we were given transport back to the ship right on time for all aboard. In retrospect, we might have done better to do the combo without lunch ($66 per person) and found lunch at a beach club with better food that would let us use their lounges and gotten a cab ($5 per person) back to the ship.
