Hello All, I am new to the posts and am looking for some information on Turtle Cove Snorkel Excursion through Princess Cruise. My Wife and I are sailing on the Emerald Princess starting the 11 of April and we will be in St. Thomas on the 15th. It has been her dream to see sea turtles and from the reviews that I have read, it looks like we will have a good chance at that.

Does anyone know what vessel the Turtle Cove Sail & Snorkel Adventure from Princess goes on? It just states "modern sailing vessel." I have seen other posts that state a website etc. about the company that does the excursion but those have been from other cruise lines. I like to do my homework before heading on vacation and wanted to see if anyone had some insight.

Also, any sea turtle stores are welcome!

I am not familiar with that excursion, but I have been on the Sea Blaster that takes you to Christmas Cove and it really is a blast! Greg & Tammi take great care of you and the snorkeling is amazing...not to mention the free rum punch! We saw sting rays, barracuda, and star fish on that snorkel trip.

Cheers!

To local residents: Could this "Turtle Cove Sail & Snorkel Adventure" be the Bones or Atlantis operations?

The Atlantis sub operation has been gone for a while now but a Google might show which charters are going there now. Don't have time to research right this minute!
