Dolphin excursion in Nassau with time to explore?

[superrupe]

Hey all,

We are sailing to Nassau in November (5 ships in port) and scheduled to arrive at 1000am and depart at 700pm. I see Carnival offers the following dolphin excursions:

 

Dolphin Swim & Blue Lagoon Beach Fun with Lunch (5 hours, departs at 1100am) - $192.99

Dolphins, Stingrays,Sea Lions & Blue Lagoon Beach (5 hours, departs at 1100am) - $215.99

Balmoral Island Dolphin Swim & Beach Day (4.5 hours, depart at 1030am) - $169.99

Dolphin Encounter, Waterpark,Beach & Lunch for All (5 hours, departs at 1100am) - $129.99

 

If we do one of these (most likely the first one listed) and get back at 400pm, will we have time from 400pm-600pmish to explore the straw market and stop for a drink?
 

I’ve also read they have ferry’s going back and fourth, will we be able to catch one before the 5 hour duration?

 

Thanks y’all, happy cruising.
