Nassau ship tours?

[39august]

My cruise planner will not show day 2 excursions for my Jan. 29 RF cruise. I know we go to Nassau the first day after embarkation. Does anyone have any experience with a ship beach excursion in Nassau, please?

We did the Pearl Island excursion in September.  It's a small island with a nice (but small) beach.  There are paddle boards, kayaks and a bouncy toy (there must be a better name but I don't know it) that you can climb onto and jump off of.  Plenty of seating, pretty views from the lighthouse and a delicious BBQ lunch.  I believe there was also a spot to snorkel although we didn't do that.  It's about a 15-minute boat ride from the ship; on the way back, we were given a tour of the beautiful homes that we passed.  I believe it was about $80, but I re-booked before the cruise when there was a sale.

It was a nice day...something new that we hadn't previously done in Nassau.

Thanks for the info.

We also did a Pearl Island.  We had 2 choices for this excursion; Pearl Island w/lunch and Pearl Island w/lunch and snorkel.  I think the price with snorkel was $15 more.  I booked without snorkel & DH booked with snorkeling.  Food was very good.  Unfortunately we had a cloudy day and about 2 hrs before we were to head back to the ship it started raining.

Stay on the ship.  Much better than anything you can see or do in Nassau.  Unless you wish to drop major coinage at Atlantis.
