Glass bottom opinion

[kevlois]

I read mixed reviews on the glass bottom boat tour at Nassau. What is your opinion? Want to do and see things we can't do in Ohio.

We did the glass bottom boat ride in Nassau in 2002 on the Wonder. I loved it. I really didn't care so much for looking under the boat at the fish - not that that was bad, it wasn't, they did show you some kind of wreck or something, I really can't remember what it was. We took some photos of the underwater things.

I really loved riding around on the top deck with the breeze blowing across my face, looking at the beautiful islands and hearing a little history and having the houses of famous people pointed out.

I guess it would depend also if you were traveling with children. We weren't (we were 6 adults) so I can't really say how a child would enjoy it. To this day, it is one of the highlights of that cruise for me.

We went an enjoyed, children 7&6 at the time, worth the trip, the kids were a little intimidated by the vendors before and after, I would go again but that is all i would do in Nassau, I would make use of the semi empty ship next time.

I second that - I would do the glass bottom boat but the street vendors (straw market) I would skip. If I knew a specific shop I wanted to go to for some reason I might go directly there and back but other than that I would stay on the boat.
