So our last trip home was October 2010 and I’m kinda lost. The catamaran cruise is not listed in the inclusions but is listed on the activities schedule. Is the catamaran still offered?
Thak you!

I had read on a different thread that the catamaran cruise was being discontinued.....not sure why. We will be at CTI Dec 28-Jan
5th for the first time and we were disappointed as well to find that out
When we were there in April we were told the catamaran cruise would be discontinued around August. Apparently there is some contract problem between the them and Couples. Hope they'll eventually bring it back. That's always been one of the highlights of our CTI visits.

Ended this month.
I believe as of this month, the Catamaran cruise is no longer offered at CTI. :( If you search the threads you will find info. on it.
Was looking forward to that. I hope they bring it back!!
We're here at CTI now and the last run was four or five days ago. No one could offer hope it would resume. It is regrettable to lose this activity but hopefully something else will fill the void. Regardless, we are still having a wonderful time!
Yes, the contract problem is they want more money and Couples doesn't want to pay it. Yet they want more money from us, their customers, to get less than we have in the past. Go figure.Quote:

The only reason I'll miss it is that we had a couple of hours without a ton of people crowding the bar. ;)
And, from what we were told, they didn't want to come all the way to CTI. We, in fact, had to take a shuttle to another resort closer to Ochi.Quote:

While CTI has discontinued horseback riding and cat cruise, they added full room service from 7am-10 pm, not just continental breakfast and they added a mini bar and frig. Most of the other a/i's don't included motorized water sports let alone SCUBA. CTI is still less expensive than the other resorts, and was the only one that had horseback riding included. Prices do go up, just as everything has in our economy. We started going to Couples because it was less than some others. We continue to go to CTI because of the friends we have made through the years with the other guests and the staff. We know what to expect at CTI and can go and just relax.
They have placed a bar in all rooms, prior to this this was only available for the Jr. & 1 bedroom suites, now all rooms have this perk.Quote:

We enjoyed the cruise, but it would not be a deal-breaker for us in the future.
