who has used Island Marketing Ltd. for their shore excursions on West Caribbean Cruises?
We are taking a cruise later on this year, the crusie line don’t offer the shore excursion I want . I want to go white river tubing and go to Dunns River Falls . The lady that’s in charge of the group we’re going with says not to use other company for shore excursions use only the crusie ship excursions but Island Marketing is cheaper and goes where I want to go. They also take smaller groups then crusie line does. The lady has sailed with this line sevral times in the past and says she gets special treatment because of all the people she gets to sail each trip. I’m thinking the only reason she wants us to use the crusie line excrusions is so she gets more discounts or better treatment.
You can find local companies that do the same excursions for a lot cheaper than the cruise lines. going tubing and hitting the falls in 1 day may not be real doable though. Go to cruisecritic.com and go to the message board and look at the ports of call board.

Check Caribic Vacations at http://www.caribicvacations.com
They are a major tour operator with new coaches, buses and great guides. They can give you a great deal on a small group tour.
We had a small group with them off the Liberty of the Seas recently in Montego Bay.

You can certainly use other tour operators they are usually there waiting for you when you get off the ship. Keep in mind that depending on where your ship ports the Dunn’s river might be pretty far. When going out on your own if you get stuck, say the van breaks down what ever if your not on a tour hosted by the Cruise line you are ON YOUR OWN. You have to be on that ship when it is time to leave. It is a gamble. If your touring in an area with many taxis whatever your probably OK but I think you have to go pretty far for this excursion. I am surprised your cruise ship doesn’t offer this trip.
