russmeister enthusiast Registered: 14/07/2002 Posts: 344 Loc: South Carolina	If you remember this thread, it's time for me to tie the knot. Saturday, May 20th is the big day, and we are heading out on a cruise for 5 days to the Bahamas. I've been browsing around at some of the shore excursions and I'm wondering what is best. Are there any recommendations as to what shore excursions I must do and what I must stay away from? I'm open to any ideas. I've never been on a cruise before (she has) and she's never done any shore excursions. If you guys have any ideas they would be greatly appreciated. _________________________ Russ --------------------------------------------------------- "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will."

When I was there visiting a friend, by far the coolest thing I did was go on a day's organised speedboat trip. The boat was unbelievable, four massive outboard motors the size of prize bulls, 250HP each, forty miles an hour. Over slightly choppy sea in a small boat, that's faster than it sounds. "Sit in the back, slightly calmer", explained the skipper, "In the front -- rodeo section". (About five of us braved "rodeo section" on the way out, but on the way back it was just me .) We ended up on a tiny remote island, where a splendid barbecued lunch was laid out, with no shortage of rum-based cocktails. Afterwards we went snorkelling along the bay: "If you want to see sharks, stick with me," said the instructor, "If you don't want to see sharks, stick with me and keep your eyes shut". And there was a shark too, a nurse shark, six or eight feet of it and moving like nothing else in the world. Then we fed some slightly tame stingrays: actually fed them bits of fish out of hand, bending down in a foot or so of water as the stingrays nuzzled up against our legs like slippery five-foot-wide deadly poisonous little kittens. Then there was the shark-wrestling. Utterly, wholeheartedly recommended. Another thing not to miss is the staggering, if not wholly uncheesy, opulence of the Atlantis Beach Resort, much of which is open to the public to come in and gawp at. Peter
