[chanpion13]

hi! thanks for reading this. we're be on the carnival elation early july and we are traveling with a group of 8 including 2 older people (75 years old parents).

 

my mom is a little weak at the knees. my father's in better shape.

 

are there any excursions that you would recommend?

Following this... bringing my parents, both 70, on a cruise in December. Interested to find out some recommendations from others..

update for me: i spoke with my parents again. they seem like they would much rather just walk around and go back to the ship when they're tired and go back out to walk around again. i guess no excursion for them.

We are doing Atlantis with my 84 year old grandma. She appreciates a good casino. Maybe we'll have lunch and see the aquarium. Then we'll either go back to the ship or split up if some of us want to do the water slides.

It costs at least $140 for a pass to use the slides, about $45 just to see the aquarium. If you are going to do the waterslides, with long lines, I wouldn't advise hanging out in the casino (pretty much the only part of the property you can visit for free).

My wife and I are in our early 70"s in Freeport we plan to take the taxi or shuttle to the town and walk around a little then return when we feel like it to the ship. My wife cannot walk to much. It use to cost around $5 per person each way. In Nassau plan on taking water taxi $4 per person each way to paradise Island. Might go to Atlantas or just walk around a little and return. We have been to Nassau a lot. Seems like every ship we take stops there.

Some people have said it is $10 per person now. So that might be it was some time ago. when we went.

We were going to see how the day goes. If the place isn't too busy we have no problem shelling out for the water park passes and first spending an hour in the casino with my grandma. If it is busy, raining, or the day passes are sold out, our day will just be the casino and aquarium [emoji4]
