Has anyone done Seaworld Explorer semi-submarine?

[martel-luv-wdw]

Trying to decide which excursion would be best/fun for whole family.(DH,ME, DS(7) DGM(62)
What did you think of this excursion. Was it confining, can you get to a window? Are there seats by the windows? Can you see bottom if you stay on the top side of the boat? Is it close to the pier? What are the times of the excursions?

Thanks for your help.

FWIW, we took the Nautilus semi-submarine in Grand Cayman a couple of weeks ago. You can see out of the windows great, and each person basically had a seat with a view out the windows so that there was no jockeying. On major things to see, they turned the sub around and went past the things twice so that everyone can see. I think it is a great family excursion, but our experience was that it was really kind of short (we had an excursion that also included snorkeling so we were out a little longer).
