Can I ask how it all went? Did you get married on embarkation day? What does the port look like? My fear is that it will just be industrial and not a pretty background. I hope it all went well and I'd love to hear about your wedding cruise ship experience. :)

We're getting married June 13,2015 on Paradise in Port of Tampa!!!! Soooooooo EXCITED!!

 

And we take the tour to view the wedding setups to put in request for what location for ceremony this May 8th!

I've never snorkeled before so I don't have much to compare it to but this company was FABULOUS! It was the highlight of our cruise even though we both got a little sea sick. Mark took my boyfriend and I out on the 9:30am boat. Just us! It was like we were fancy rich people that could afford private excursions lol. Mark was knowlegable and didn't seem at all annoyed at all at our lack of experience and sea legs. (In my defense, the bf puking was what got me going and not the sea.) If I had to complain, and we're talking "gun to your head" you have to think of something negative to say, its only that the snorkle gear provided is not dry valve so you may get a mouth full of sea water (or six like my bf) on a sort of choppy day on the water if you're not careful. Otherwise, this was a great experience. Super easy to find! Although if you're going early and the Senor Frogs isn't open for you to cut across you'll have to walk a couple blocks around and through the BC Hilton lobby as the dock for this company is on their little beach. You can see the boats you'll be getting on from your cruise ship as it docks. We went to two different spots, the first a little shallow and a great place to get your "feet wet" to snorkeling. Mark had a good laugh with my bf at my initial reaction to putting my face down and instantly being a part of a school of fish. Then it was just a short ride to another area I think he called the Underwater Sea Garden or something like that. I really wish I could recall what he called it but it was so amazingly beautiful!! I don't think I'd ever been so amazed in my life. I now want to snorkel again and again and I can't imagine doing it with any other company in Nassau. Its also worth noting that you're supplied with water and possibly a soda and there is what he called a "dry cooler" for anything you don't want to get wet or leave bouncing around on the boat.
