My husband and I did this two years ago and it was the absolute highlight of our cruise. However "drift" may give you the wrong impression. If you are not a confident or comfortable swimmer, this trip can be intimidating. The water flows quickly. My husband is not that comfortable in moving water and "became one with the coral" , ending up with a few scrapes. The current was swift and we really had to pay attention to the guide. Hubby only went once, I did it a second time and was able to see more as I knew what to expect. We've snorkeled many, many places and this was terrific.
All that said, we'd do it again in an instant. Enjoy your cruise, it was one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives.:)
