Bahamas port excursion
 
We have 1 day in Nassau and looking for ideas on what to do. We have kids age 10 and 13. We love to snorkel but are open to other ideas. Any information would really help

atlantis.com has lots of stuff for kids might consider that.
cruisecritic.com for port reviews dodgy in many areas not Paradise Island though watch you stuff lots iof petty theft in the public markets insuremytrip.com wise.

I heard that Atlantis was really crowded and not a good place to go. Is this true?

We have visited Atlantis on a land vacation staying at another hotel. No, it's really not a good place to go. I think it's like $35 now to view the Aquarium and digs. They have posted guards at all the doors to the pools and waterpark. If you are not wearing the right color wristband they will deny you acccess. Yes, it is crowded.

We enjoyed that Ardasta Zoo and Gardens. They have a Flamingo march during specific times of the day.

Sailing and snorkeling is a good excursion also. Stuart Cove is a popular tour operator.

Check the ports of call boards on cruisecritic.com for things to see and do.

You may want to look into the mini-subs if you do not snorkell.
