Catarmaran Excursion question....

[msbinky]

I am thinking of booking the catarmaran excurison in nassau but am wondering how this is with children. I have 3 children the youngest 5 the oldest 10. This might be fun but am worried about the 5 year old. Can he stay on the boat if he is scared? Also how much movement is involved with the boat as far as possible sea sickness. Thanks

We have done this and had a great time. I believe someone in our group had a little one that didn't want to go in. They just had him sit on the boat. You will be provided life vest so if he wants, he can just float. I think I also remember my nephew using a noodle they had.

This is a great opportunity for new snorkels. Your little one might really love seeing all the beautiful fish.

I get very seasick and I was absolutely fine.

There is a net on the catamaran. Sit here, the kids loved sitting in/on the net while we adults sat around it with our feet resting on the net.

I took both my kids, ages 8 & 4 at the time, on a catamaran last year on St Maarten (not a DCL excursion - just a vacation on our own.) They still talk about it. They had a blast. There was seating on a bench for them, but they managed to come up front with us - adults nearby. They loved to sit on the rope and watch the waves under them! We are planning to do the catamaran next month on our cruise - kids will be 9 & 5 and we can't wait!!!!
