Anybody have experience with the Expedia Shore excursions for Sail and Snorkel Cruise in Nassau? Please feel free to offer suggestions of other snorkeling experiences with independent providers. Leaving in a couple weeks from Port Canaveral on the Carnival Dream.

I did the catamaran sail and snorkel through carnival in Nassau on February 27th. It was great, as good as any snorkel excursion we have done.

 

They collected us from the boat and walked us in a group about 2000 yards to the boat parked across the docking area. The sail out took about half an hour and they briefed us and had us all sign the waiver on the way. Once there they handed out gear and we had about 45 minutes in the water. It was a nice reef with lots of fish and great visibility. Then the rum and punch flowed freely on the return trip.

How was the temperature of the water? We are used to Florida gulf coast temps. 70 is freezing for us.

I am from Florida and it was fine. Warm even.
