This excursion is an exclusive event for FlossTube at Sea. You must be registered for the 2024 FlossTube at Sea cruise to participate.
General Information
We arranged this excursion with Celebrity, which means we have all the benefits of taking a ship excursion: guaranteed first off the ship, guaranteed return to the ship, and most convenient access to the tour bus. However, you will register for our excursion through Stitchers’ Escapes rather than Celebrity. Therefore, you will not see our excursion on your cruise planner after booking. Tickets are provided to the Stitchers’ Escapes crew and distributed to the group on board.
The tour will have a minimum and maximum number of guests. If it appears that we will not reach the minimum, we reserve the right to cancel the excursion and return the excursion registration fees.
Registration
Excursion registration is now closed.
If you will be paying for yourself and your traveling companion(s), you will be able to submit a registration form for everyone. If you need to submit a registration for someone who will pay for themselves, you will need to submit an individual form for each person. The Stitchers’ Escapes Crew will be unable to split invoices for multiple people on the same registration form.
Basseterre, St. Kitts & Nevis – Thursday, January 18
Caribelle Batik Experience
$90
Departure times vary (see below); the excursion will last 2.5 hours
Activity Level: Mild
Join your FlossTube hosts for this once in a lifetime experience! Take in the rugged beauty of St. Kitts on a leisurely driving tour to historic Romney Manor / Caribelle Batik. Then, watch a batik demonstration and try our hand at this traditional island craft. We’ll enjoy spectacular views in the Manor’s lush and picturesque botanical gardens. And for those who love to shop, we’ll be able to choose from a wide array of gifts, wall hangings, apparel, and yard goods for which Caribelle Batik is justifiably famous.
There is a wonderful outdoor deck on the property serving tropical drinks at a nominal charge. Plan your meal times onboard the ship; this excursion does not include lunch and Jean doesn’t remember if there were snacks available at Caribelle!
Each of our three groups will be led by one of our FlossTube hosts. When you register, we will ask you to indicate your first and second choice of departure times. We will do our best to assign you to your preferred group.
