The Bahamian Queen is a luxury boat that operates day cruises for those staying in the capital of the Bahamas who are looking to get off the island for an afternoon and have some fun at sea. The Queen's Booze Cruise is just as it sounds, nearly five hours of drinking in the pristine waters of Nassau harbor. The cruise includes ample opportunity for swimming and snorkeling, although those who plan on heavy drinking are asked to stay out of the water once the festivities get under way. Lunch is included. The Queen has a glass bottom for those looking to admire sea life, perhaps in never ending search for an octopus garden.
