I went alone and didn't snorkel but still had a great relaxing time! Met some great and interesting people.

We went snorkeling and that part of the trip was very enjoyable. Some of the equipment aboard the ship for snorkeling was more worn than I expected, but it was sufficient. The lunch buffet aboard was also pretty good; definitely much better than we expected. However, it is about a two hour ride to reach Michaelmas Cay, which really cut into the time we could snorkel. While two hours may not seem like much, it is when the water is very choppy. I felt the purpose of this cruise was to sell you things aboard the boat more than seeing the reef. I kept being accosted by the boat photographer while snorkeling even though I had no interest in buying pictures. I think for what we got, this tour was pricey. There are definitely many other options for snorkeling if you look around, many of which are less expensive and probably less crowded. You may want to look into options that leave from Port Douglas if you're staying in that area. You might be able to get more reef time with less travel.
