We did this on our own in March. My boys were 6 and 12. There were no actors scaring us though. We enjoyed it and learned alot about the pirate history in Nassau. There is a lot of reading involved as you do it on your own. We stopped at the Welcome center (Tourist info) for a map in Nassau, and they gave us a coupon. I think it was free for the boys and maybe $10 for us. Very reasonable. From there we walked to the straw market, and then back to the ship. It is not far.
