My friend & I (ages 28 & 25) are going on a cruise in October to Nassau & Half Moon Cay, Bahamas(5 day cruise). We want to go to Atlantis to swim with dolphins in Nassau & also want to snorkel at some point... Any suggestions of where we should snorkel at? We are both super stoked, neither of us have ever been on a cruise before. Any other suggestions about the boat or either of the ports? P.S. How much are alcoholic drinks on the boat? :)
Answer :
I went on the exact same cruise last year for spring break. I think the excursion you have planned for Nassau will be lots of fun. We went on some sting ray thing when we were there, and it was pretty disappointing. Half moon cay is SOOO beautiful. It is Carnival's private island. If they had snorkeling there it would probably be very pretty. Otherwise, this is a great place to just have a beach day. They drop you off right on the beach, and since it is their private island, the beverage crew from on board is also on the island...really convenient. They also provide you with lunch. I think Grand Turks would be a really good place to snorkel as well. We had that planned, but it got canceled because of some rain, so we got a city tour and kayaking thing. It was pretty fun. So in short, I would stick with that excursion for Nassau, do a beach day in Half Moon Cay and then finish off your trip with snorkeling in Grand Turks.
Also, if I recall beers on board were about 5.75ish, the specialty drink was 6.95 and I can't remember how much wine was...sorry.
Answer :
talk to the staff about snorkeling. they'll be able to give you all the pointers and places you want, with up to date season information and everything.
they should also be able to recommend places on the island. the people that work on these ships are literally in these ports once a week for 6 month stretches.
