My husband and I will be going on a cruise to the Bahamas in about 3 weeks to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and we haven't booked any excursions yet! Have any of you gone and done the excursions there? There didn't seem to be as many as there was in Mexico...We're considering just saving our money and doing some extra shopping and just going to the public beaches, but if there's an excursion that's worth it, I'm down!

Even if you've been and didn't do an excursion, please tell me what you did while you were there? Anything that we need to make sure we go do or see?

    Mila, what Cruise line are you going on? I did a jeep excursion that I LOVED last year. I have done a horseback riding one where you ridethe horses on the beach....

    I was on a local cruise line CElebration for one of them . Another was Norwegian and the other (Snorkeling excursion) was on Royal Carribean.....

    They are all great, especially when you aretravelling with the one you love...

    We're going on Carnival and I've seen the horse back riding one and it just didn't seem like anything great to me...What do you do on the jeep one? Do you just get to rent a jeep or do you go on a tour or something?

    Atlantis, or however you spell it is supposed to be awesome. Whatever you do just book your excursion 3rd party online and not through the cruise line. It will be cheaper and a smaller group and probably with the same excursion company.

    I am also cruising carnival to the bahamas in 3 weeks! I've been on several cruises, but never to the bahamas. We will be going to Atlantis. I'm very excited about this. I've been told it's expensive, but well worth it. Also at this same port there is some awesome shopping, my aunt told me (handbags and such). Not sure yet what we will do on the other two shops, yet. Probably just hit up the beach and shop!

    I have never been on Carnival. I was on Norwegian and for me the excursion was GREAT on the horse. It is my favorite animal, I love the beach, and we had a picinic too.

    The jeep excursion was just that..you got a rented jeep followed a tour guide (we went to this cave down under the island..it was awesome, a seculded part of the isalnd had lunch there on the beach, went off roading, and they took us to where Pirates of The Caribbean was filmed as well as got to see one of the ships used in the movie. ), and on the way back...it was like we were 4 wheeling,,,doing donuts in this empty field near a beach, it was GREAT....

    honestly just enjoy the vast scenery that is beautiful!! Compared to the US anywhere you go in the Bahamas is beautiful as well as the clear blue water. you have to do horseback riding on the beach if you can.

    You are going in the middle of hurricane season and there are at least three big ones out there right now.
    The waters are really churned up right now and visibility sucks so, skip any snorkeling/diving trips.
    The last time we went, my wife and I hung out at a resort all day. We just took a cab to some resort and ate and drank.
    Sorry I can't help more :(
