This
was
our
first
cruise,
and
the
first
excursion
on
the
cruise.
We
booked
through
Carnival
beforehand
and
were
really
excited
about
the
underwater
scooters.
All
the
staff
were
great
and
answered
any
and
all
questions
we
had
about
the
island
on
the
30
minute
or
so
bus
ride
from
the
port.
The
ride
from
the
port
was
interesting
as
you
got
to
see
the
"real"
island
and
how
the
people
lived.
It
rained
pretty
hard
for
about
20
minutes
once
we
got
in
port
and
as
we
were
making
our
way
to
the
buses,
but
that
was
the
only
negative
thing
about
the
whole
trip.
It
helped
cool
off
the
temps
a
little
though!
Once
we
got
to
the
dock
and
boarded
the
ship,
the
staff
thoroughly
explained
what
to
expect
and
gave
us
instruction
on
using
the
scooters.
There
were
about
30
people
on
the
excursion,
so
we
were
broken
up
into
groups
of
10
or
so.
Once
you
get
out
on
the
water,
you
can
snorkel
while
waiting
your
turn
on
the
scooters.
Snorkeling
was
great,
as
it
was
my
kids'
first
experience
with
it.
We
saw
a
lot
of
different
coral,
fish
and
sea
animals.
Once
it
was
our
turn
with
the
scooters,
I
was
a
little
nervous
about
my
wife
because
she's
fairly
claustrophobic.
I
have
to
admit,
I
used
to
be
certified
in
scuba
and
went
on
numerous
dives,
but
I
was
even
a
little
claustrophobic
at
first
since
the
helmet
is
attached
to
the
scooter
and
comes
down
over
your
shoulders
sort
of
restricting
movement.
We
both
shook
it
off
as
we
got
started
though.
The
scooters
were
awesome!
My
family
and
I
all
had
a
blast
-
they
were
easy
to
use,
once
you
got
used
to
the
controls
and
how
the
scooters
reacted
to
them.
The
only
downside
is
your
thumb
gets
tired
continually
pushing
the
button
to
go.
Again,
the
underwater
guides
were
great
as
they
pointed
out
interesting
things
to
see.
We
got
about
45m
-
1
hr
of
scooter
time
and
really
loved
it.
Definitely
worth
the
money
and
would
love
to
do
it
again!
