Excursion with Royal Caribbean

Booked on board the Independence of the Seas. Thoroughly enjoyed this excursion! The guides were professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely be recommending this excursion to my friends and family. I also hope to be back again! Thanks for a great morning.

The sup safari experience is an unique way to enjoy your time at St. Kitts! We had an amazing time thanks to John and Joe who runs it while their girlfriends are busting the buts off studying!! ;) Outta all the adventures we did so far in the area this is the best one!

My husband and I were on a cruise ship and decided to do this as one of our excursions. Neither one of us has any experience with SUP, but both of us were pleasantly surprised how easy it was! The guides (Joe & John) were so nice, patient, and helpful to get us back on the right course if we got too far away from the group! We got to see lots of star fish, sting rays, and one turtle! Afterwards we had the opportunity to snorkel if we chose, and I'm glad we did!! Saw some beautiful fish and reefs!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone staying or just passing through St. Kitts...as a bonus the beach this is located on is black sand...so beautiful!!!

My daughter and I were on the Carnival Liberty docked in Basseterre. We decided to try stand up paddle boarding. We were not experienced paddle boarders but our guides helped us to be very comfortable very quickly. It was a great workout and fun to do. We highly recommend this company! Thanks Joe and John!

Not your ordinary SUP excursion. You start on one beach and end up on another. Start out heading towards the volcano on Nevis. Then turn around and go to another beach. You are not in a protected bay but more like open ocean. The course is about two miles long. The ocean was fairly choppy the day we were out so was not easy to stand for long periods. Think I knelt most of the time. Still, it was an absolute blast! The two guides were very helpful. Would definitely do it again.

My husband and I stopped in St. Kitts on a cruise and I had signed up for this excursion through our cruise line (Royal Caribbean). I cannot say enough about our two guides - they are genuinely great people!!!! A driver picked us up outside the cruise terminal and took us down to the beach where we took off from. We met the guides, they took our belongings along on their boat that followed us the whole way on the trip. The water was a bit rough that day (which is very much not typical for the area) - typically the water is like glass. We had a great group of people on our trip - everyone gave it their best. It was like meeting a new group of friends - everyone kept cheering each other on. We paddled for what I would guess is about a mile or a mile and a half - very pretty ride. We ended at a nice beach where we were able to snorkel if we liked (they provided the snorkel gear) or just relax on the beach, or hang out at the little bar at the beach. From there, the driver picked us back up and dropped us back off at the cruise ship. I would highly recommend this excursion - the two guides again are very nice and extremely down to earth people! Don't let the paddle boarding scare you off, if you can't stand, you can kneel or even sit and paddle.

Discover the agriculture and green energy initiatives at St. Kitts Eco Park, a joint venture between St. Kitts and Nevis and the Republic of China (Taiwan). Afterward, head to Black Rocks, or lava formations, that were created with the last volcanic eruption. While here, grab some photos and visit with the local vendors.

Make your way next to the Sunset Cafe at a beach hotel located at Timothy Hill for a delicious lunch and breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Your lunch includes a choice of the following fish or meat plus a choice of two sides.

Conclude your tour at Friars Bay Beach, where you can dip your toes in the golden sand along with the locals. Your tour includes all entrance fees where necessary.

How to Communicate With Family on a Cruise: 6 Best Tips [Infographic]

Make connections with your family to last a lifetime on a cruise..

By Sherri Eisenberg | Published on April 30, 2024

If you've never been on a cruise ship vacation, you may not have thought about the many communication challenges related to being at sea or the impact those challenges have on how to communicate with family on a cruise. You may even be wondering: Can I text on a cruise ship? Can I email or call my shipmates or my friends back home? Yes, there are ways to text and email while on a cruise vacation. Check this infographic for more tips.

Staying Connected

With family onboard a cruise.

If you're cruising with your family or a group of friends, you may split up to enjoy different onboard amenities and need a way to stay in contact.

With the ship's Wi-Fi and these smartphone apps, connecting with your travel mates is a breeze.

For Onboard Communication

Royal caribbean international app.

This app does it all! Complete check-in, read up on your ship, make reservations for dining and onshore excursions, link plans with other guests, and keep in touch with the in-app chat feature. It's also free to use onboard!

Organize all the aspects of your vacation — flights, hotels, cruises, excursions and restaurants — with your travel companions so everyone knows where to be and when.

No cell data? No problem! This free app allows you to text and call with just Wi-Fi.

SOCIAL APPS

Say "hello" over video or share your cruise memories while on the high seas with the social app of your choice, which could be anything from Instagram to Facebook or TikTok.

Getting There

Look for the perfect sailing today!

F ortunately, the days of being completely disconnected while you're cruising — and having to leave physical notes for your cabin mates on the stateroom door to let them know where you are — are blissfully over. In the last decade, technology has radically changed Wi-Fi access for cruisers, making it cheaper, faster, and more accessible to everyone.

If you're traveling with a large group spanning several cabins or with older children who may be responsible enough to be at the kids club while you're at the spa, make a plan in advance for how to communicate on your cruise. Will you all be signing up for the ship's Wi-Fi package and using the ship's app to message each other? Will you be staying on airport mode in ports and be mostly unreachable during shore excursions? If you plan to split up during the day and then meet up for dinner at the same time every night — or breakfast each morning — to connect and share stories, make sure everyone knows where to be and when. Whatever plan you decide on, do decide one in advance to set expectations and simplify communication during your trip. This way, you can just focus on enjoying your cruise and each other.

Read on before setting sail for what you need to know to communicate on a cruise ship vacation using the best family travel apps at sea.

1. Download the Royal Caribbean International App Before You Set Sail

Wondering how to communicate on a Royal Caribbean cruise? Not only does the Royal Caribbean International app help you plan your trip, but it's also very useful while you're sailing and largely considered one of the best family travel apps. Start by uploading your passport and vaccinations, make reservations for dining and onshore excursions, and use the chat feature to stay in touch with your fellow travelers — even if they're by the pool and you're in the spa.

If you're relying on a phone app, be sure you pack your charger, and consider packing an extension cord and power strip for your cabin, too. That's especially important for families where each traveler has both a phone and a tablet to juice at night.

2. Choose an Internet Package in Advance

Few travelers want to totally disconnect these days, though that is still an option of course. While Wi-Fi access has improved on most cruise ships, Royal Caribbean's VOOM service remains the fastest internet at sea. You can access it across the fleet, so you won't have to worry how to communicate on a cruise ship. Choose from internet packages that let you stream videos while you sun by the pool, and stay connected to your regular messaging and email apps. Best of all, you can "bundle" your access on up to four devices so that the whole family is set.

3. Look for Other Apps That Keep Your Crew Connected

For extended families or friend groups planning a trip together, some of the tools on your phone may be a good option as well. Many phones offer location sharing tools that connect you to friends and family, and even if you don't usually use them you can turn them on for the duration of your vacation. For trips that include sightseeing in destinations without shore excursions, you can also create shared Google maps that allow you to mark stops on a route and plan your sightseeing together.

4. Beware of Roaming Charges

From the moment you get onboard a ship or plane that's leaving the country, you should put your phone on airplane mode and leave it on throughout your trip to avoid roaming charges for cellular data, which can add up incredibly fast. While some cell service providers offer low daily rates to use your phone abroad, on a cruise with a major cruise line, you'll likely have access to such speedy internet that you won't really need this option.

While Wi-Fi at sea has revolutionized, your land options depend entirely on where you're traveling in the world. If you think you'll want to use your phone while in port and not just at cafés with complimentary Wi-Fi, be sure to reach out to your cell service provider in advance to understand the related fees and options. If you're not going to use your phone in that way, then keep it on airplane mode and just use it as a camera to capture onshore excursions in ports during your trip. Just be sure to tell any travel companions who are not on your shore excursion what you have decided in advance so they know when you will or won't be reachable.

5. Utilize Your Stateroom Phone

Improvements in both the speed and cost of Wi-Fi onboard mean you likely won't have much use for your stateroom landline phone. That said, the phone can be useful to request dining and spa reservations or to call your buddy's room to link up.

6. Go Old School

Before ships provided Wi-Fi and apps, cruisers connected the old-school way — with walkie-talkies, whiteboards and sticky notes. These techniques are the best ways to communicate on a cruise ship in case the Wi-Fi is spotty or you leave your phone in your stateroom. Plus, older kids will have a blast using a walkie-talkie to keep you aware of their whereabouts when they're at the arcade and you're by the pool.
