bsjelin Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 What is the difference between these two excursions other than the "Complimentary Drink" and the Activity Level one is mild and the other is strenuous ? lol - a $4 difference between the two. And would anyone recommend it as worth it for a couple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 From the description, Amiga Island represents itself as being "scenic" which is probably nothing n practice. It also includes a complimentary Amiga Cocktail that the other one does not as you note. I think your decision comes down to if you want the cocktail or not.

I couldn't imagine either being strenuous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elania Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I literally noticed this earlier today! It does make me wonder if they're overbooking what's supposed to be a relatively small group excursion. My group has the "Island Escape" one booked, so I looked into it a bit previously. I think it's listed as "strenuous" because there's not a dock on the island, you have to walk through water/over sand as you disembark the boat. Which means it's not a good option for people with limited mobility. But outside of that, it's a beach, so it really is mild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think it’s supposed to be a relatively small group excursion? Excursions booked through RC are rarely small groups (you have no choice on Labadee of course).

There's nothing explicitly stated in the description, so I could easily be wrong. But looking outside of the app/planner and into reviews, YouTube, etc. gave me that impression. The island isn't that big to begin with, I saw one estimate that it took about 10 minutes to walk the entire thing. I guess it also depends on your definition of "relatively small group". One review (admittedly from a year ago) estimates that there were only about 30 people there at the same time as them. And another review estimated that there were about 25 people on the boat with them. But I guess the only true size limitation is how many people fit in the boat to get there, how many boats they're running, and how many trips the boat(s) make(s).
