Has anyone done the Discover Nassau by Land and Sea excursion?

If so, did you enjoy it? What did you think of it? We leave in a few weeks and are thinking of adding this excursion.

Yes, we just did that on our cruise a few weeks back. And to be honest, it was mixed. The Sea portion was all sorts of awesome. The guides were great and fun, we got to see a lot while out on the boat. The clear water and the fish underneath. I would do that portion anytime again. It was just great. The Land, not so much. Maybe it was our driver, or what. The driving in Nassau is just insane and it is over run by everyone selling stuff. We got to do drive by viewings of some nice sites and we got to go to an old fort and water tower. But my wife was shocked that I got pictures of the fort without any of the cheap vendor stalls. Two people didn't come back to the bus and then we went and spent 20 minuets or at Atlantis. It was over at a good time and we were able to do some shopping that was recommended by the shoppers on the ship (free seminar offered by DCL on the boat the day before, so worth it). So positive and negative. I'm glad we did it, and if I were to do it again, I would skip the land part. It does give you a good look and feel of life in Nassau.

thank you so much for the review. We did our first cruise 5 years ago and went to Nassau. We last a few minutes and then left. My husband and one son were too overwhelmed with all the hustle and bustle. I was too but when my husband said he felt like a bad movie was going to happen we left. This time he didn't want to get off the boat but when I read this excursion, he seemed excited. I'll read him your review and leave it up to him.
