Has Anyone Taken the NEW "Reef & Ray" Excusion in Grand Cayman offered by Carnival Cruise Lines?

Question

This takes you to Stingray City (not the sandbar) and to reefs. It is newly offered by Carnival Cruise Lines. Have you taken it? Your thoughts??? This will be for a family of adults.

Answer 1

I went to Sting Ray City but it was a Royal Caribbean excursion.  Sting Ray City is a sandbar by the way.

Sting Ray City is an absolute must see.  It is a wild and thrilling experience to be among these creatures.  They are extremely tame...but wild at the same time.  They still have their 'stingers' and if threatened could injure someone...but that is extremely unlikely.  You can pet them, pick them up, feed them, have them suck on you, etc.  It is intense but an amazing experience.  I highly recommend it for anyone!

Answer 2

Yes!! I did this two weeks ago when my family went on the Carnival Conquest. It was a blast and i loved it!! Grand Cayman was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and i thought by far the best port of call on our cruise!! When you go to the sting ray part you get to feed, hold, touch, and I even got a sting ray massage!! It was amazing to be that close and personal with such amazing creatures. You will really enjoy it!! The snorkeling was fun too, but not as fun as the sting rays. They take you too a place thats not too wavy, and has quite a few little reefs. It wasn't really what I expected, I was expecting to see a ton of huge fish and tons of sea life. Instead it's more like just a few little fish here and there, nothing too special, but it was still fun to see animals in their natural enviroment. And the tour guides were great and really friendly and all of the stuff you will need to snorkel is provided. Overall my family and I loved it and had a great time, and i would recommend it to anyone!! And this excursion is for people of any age, it was more young adult and adults that i saw there, but there were still kids there. I hope you have an amazing cruise and decide to do this excursion!!
