Thank you for the info. I went on the cruisecritic web site and found a
lot of info there also. I went on the web site for Xstream cave tubing
and filled out the request for cave tubing for a party of 4. Hopefully
they have space for us on the date requested. If not, I will try Reggies.
Thanks
Bernie

Bernie, I enjoyed the cave tubing, I can't wait to do it again.

Reggie, Xstream and the cruise line all do the same cave tubing
excursion. Each of them parks in the same parking lot and they do the
same tour. You will see each of the tour operators there (if you book
with the cruise line, they require you to carry a life vest, whether
you want it or not).

When you arrive, you change your clothes (if you need to), they hand
out headlights, so you can see inside of the caves, and then you go
collect your inner tubes. You begin your hike, carrying your inner
tube, you float down a river, you go in and out of a couple of caves,
then you exit the water and you return your inner tube. Even though
you book your excursion through Reggie or Xstream, the cruise line
photographers may be in the river taking photos.

The larger the group, the longer it takes to hand out and retrieve the
headlights and the inner tubes. If there is a slow walker in the
group, the entire group is slowed down. This is one reason the
excursion can take more time.

My excursion was with Reggie. I would book it through and individual
operator, you get more attention and your group moves faster. It was a
fun excursion, I hope you try it.

Becca ----wants to do it all while I'm still young...
