With the exception of a single MSC Cruises vessel, they're far bigger than any other cruise vessel afloat and like nothing else you'll find at sea. You probably better off paying a bit more for cruise excursion and to go to Atlantis to see their aquarium.Even if you're a newcomer to cruising, you've probably heard of Royal Caribbean's giant Oasis-class ships. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who gets seasick easily, or anyone who are elderly or little kids. It was narrated but most of the things was already mentioned on the first lag of the water taxi so it was not as interesting second time around. Then after the tour is done, we had to walk across in the middle of the ocean again back to another water taxi for another 25 minutes ride back. We didn’t see sharks but we did saw one big turtle. We were able to see some fish but none of the colorful fish that we thought we would see.
ROYAL CARIBBEAN SEA WORLD EXPLORER WINDOWS
They fed bread to the fish so they came close to the window, but windows have stretches and are not super clear, they are like greenish brown color. The actual Seaworld Explorer tour was shorter than I expected (about 20 minutes or less) but again if it lasted any longer I might have gotten real sick. It was super shaky once you go under the submarine, I almost feel sick when I first went down in the sub and I don’t normally get seasick. We went with a toddler so that was not ideal at all and if I had known I wouldn’t have picked this tour. The part I didn’t anticipate was that you have to literally jump across from the water taxi to the submarine while in the middle of the ocean (mind you that both boats are moving/shaking because of the water current). The water taxi ride was about 25 minutes and it was narrated and the Capitan pointed out some famous people’s houses and shared some interesting facts about Bahamas and Nassua. We were picked up by a water taxi from the cruise port to transfer to the submarine boat. We took a cruise excursion on the Seaworld Explorer. It was very enjoyable, like snorkeling, but without the physical effort and the salt water. We saw a variety of colorful fish, as well as coral, a few sea turtles and some nurse sharks. The guide told us the names of all the fish and pointed out where to see other interesting animals. I could tell they were feeding the fish up above, but that didn't matter to me, because it made the fish come closer to the windows. We all sat on seats that folded out of the wall in front of windows all around the boat. We had no problems and saw it as part of the fun, but I can see how children, elderly and folks with physical limitations may find it challenging. The tour guide told many good jokes while giving us a tour of the Nassau harbor, telling stories and pointing out the homes of the rich and famous.Īboard the Seaworld Explorer, we climbed down a steep, narrow starcase below decks. We were picked up at the dock by a boat which took us to the Seaworld Explorer. My group of adult travelers went aboard the Seaworld Explorer as part of a Sea and See Nassau cruise ship excursion we booked through Royal Caribbean cruise line. Very focused towards the younger age set on board but still eliciting laughter from adults.ĭespite being under water, the glass sides provide plenty of light and great views of the colorful fish.Īpparently they also run nighttime trips where a species of fish with phosphorescent colors look amazing in the dark sea. More jokes accompany the narration, mostly focusing on a anemone theme. The guide and narrator of the submarine points out and describes the different sea life (fish, turtles, sponges, corals) as you take a 60-90 minute tour through several reefs. Stories safe for all ages!Īt the rendezvous point, you jump from the transfer boat to the "submarine" ( well it's a mid water transfer between vessels but the men are helpful and make sure everyone crosses safely. Pour guide for this part was a young man named Kobey who was very entertaining a he pointed out the houses of the rich or famous, accompanied by often hilarious stories and (clean) jokes. Different and fun, especially if you want to see the reef and it's resident fish and turtles without getting wet and wearing a snorkel.Ī pontoon or catamaran boat transfers you from the cruise ship dock to the "submarine". This is basically a boat with the bottom cut out and replaces by a U-shaped, glass sided underwater aquarium where the people are inside looking out at the fish.
