Anyone done the Thriller boat ride in Nassau?

[mlbcruiser]

Looking for comments about the Thriller boat ride offered by Royal Caribbean's Majesty when in Nassau. Is this REALLY a thrilling, fast, fun ride or just so-so? Would young people about 21 most likely enjoy this excursion? Did you think it was worth the money? Was much time wasted in getting to the boat, getting organized, etc.? I'd appreciate any comments from anyone who has done this excursion. Thanks.

I have the same question. I did it in Aruba and it was a blast. Was wondering if the one in Nassau is the same.

We did the Thriller boat ride to Blackbeard Cay last October. They round you up at the cruise ship and you walk through the terminal as a group to the speed boat. The boat is docked down the street going towards the Straw Market and Senor Frogs. No time is wasted. They get you right down to the boat, load you up, and you're off to the ride. The boat heads out to the open water for a 20 minute or so ride and then you circle back for a view of the Atlantis property from the water. Then you go to the Cay. After your time on the beach, they load you up and whisk you back to the original dock.

 

The ride was fun. The boat definitely gets up on a plane and skips across the water at a good clip. You do get the spray from the water as well. On the day we went in October, the water was very cold and it stung our faces. In the warmer weather, it's probably refreshing!

 

Would I do it again? Sure!

so how long would you say this excursion is?

do you book it thru the ship or on your own?

how much did it cost--is there also parasailing ?
