Has anyone done the glass bottom boat excersion at Castaway Cay? From the picture, it appears that the boat is covered and you would be shaded during the ride. Is that the case? The listing says "all ages", so I am assuming we could take our 2 1/2yr old. Any info would be appreciated!

LOL mom25. Our two cats always want to be with us when we are at the computer. We love the company, but sometimes it wrecks havoc on our work.

Sorry. . . I don't know the answer to your question.
 
I wouldn't take a little one on it.

First, you're expected to stand the entire time. there are two window wells with metal rails around them. (There are two very small benches towards the front of the ship, but it's difficult to see anything from them.)

There's a strong smell of deisel fuel. I noticed some of the others covering their noses.

The ship rocks a lot. I'd be concerned that a toddler would have trouble keeping her balance. I'd also be afraid around the rails. It would be very easy for a little one to crawl through one and fall down the window well which is recessed in the botton of the boat.

You make two stops. One is at an established reef, one is at a developing reef. Yes you see some fish, but it's not exactly teeming with them.

The guide is very nice and I did enjoy hearing about the area. Other than that, I'll admit, it was pretty boring and I wasn't thrilled with standing, rocking and leaning.

Bring a pail and shovel, grab a spot with an umbrella and I think your little one will be a lot more entertained.
 

We took DD's 2 & 4 on the glass bottom boat in January. They enjoyed watching the fish, the guide fed the fish to attract them. Yes you have to stand, but the kids were in the middle between the 2 window wells.
