Carribean Princess

Can anyone recommend shore excursions on Cozumel and Ochos Rios? Also, any good experiences with snorkeling or scuba (novice) on Grand Cayman and with which tour company?

Also, I GUARANTEED a BA balcony and put down a deposit for the Carribean Princess. On Princess website under my itinerary, I am listed on the Cribe deck mid ship 600's. Is this a permanent location and a good deck? Also, when would I find out about a possible upgrade or has my room already been assigned.

Any info would be appreciated as I am a first time cruiser.

Thanks!

A midship Caribe balcony cabin is one of the best on the ship...they have really big balconies...bigger than the mini-suites and they're half-covered, half-exposed. Whether or not they move you from there is a toss-up...if you're a couple of weeks out or less, probably not.

As for excursions... it really depends what you like. In Ocho Rios, Dunn's River Falls is fun if you haven't done that before. We did one in December that combined Dunn's River Falls with a kayak trip that was really a blast.

Lots to do in Cozumel... the Mayan ruins at Tulum are pretty interesting, but it's a very long, very hot day. You can swim with the dolphins at Chankanaab...kinda fun. The bike trips there were really good. Several snorkeling tours too, but the ones at Palancar Reef are drift snorkeling in open ocean, and the currents there are really strong so it's not that comfortable if you're not an experienced snorkeler.

On Grand Cayman there's a reef & wreck snorkel that's really good, I think the wreck is the Callie...or something like that, it goes out on a regular dive boat. We did one that has the same two snorkel stops except that you go out on these little aquaboats...two-person boats that you drive yourself...really fun.

are cruise went to montego bay in jamaica-but in cozumel, we did chbba state park, snorklin and "fun"-saw a very cute sea lion show, which if you have kids they will really enjoy-park also has nice snorkeling and beach-cab rides were arranged so after sea lion show you could tour the park, then go back to dock-we went to ship "freshened up" then came back to poe=rt for shopping-although i heard shopping in town was better
