Just came back few weeks ago, and our experience was OK at best. We did not have any excursions setup through Carnival, so we got off and met up with Freddy, he rounded up a few others and it was 20 a person for a tour of the island and over to paradise island (Atlantis) to see the aquarium... He was a funny tour guide! He took us up to the fort thing (forgot the name) did a bit of shopping bought a fake Louie Vuitton wallet for 20, and a few shirts...

So we had a great tour, a fun time with freddy and fellow tourist.. We asked Freddy to drop us off at a local beach on Paradise island this is where the problem started! First off the beach was dirty, not groomed, rocks all over the place. (can find a nicer beach here in NJ) we said whatever the water was still blue, so we wanted to rent a few waverunners and there were a few ppl actually fighting over who got our sale!! Kinda scary, but we went with one of them anyway... I got out on the water and started playin around with the waverunner hitin waves, and I was flagged down by the renter telling me what I was doing was illegal? I explained to him that I'm certified to drive a watercraft and know what I was doing (which I'm by the state of NJ) but he said just be gentle with the waverunner (ITS A WAVERUNNER i.e WATERSPORTS) After our session was over, we went over to Atlantis to do a bit of gambling, then back to the ship
