Is swimming with the pigs worth it, according to Reddit?

According to Reddit, swimming with the pigs is worth it in one place: the Exumas — the original Big Major Cay pigs — not the copycat versions. A 180-comment r/royalcaribbean thread is blunt about the difference: “Swimming with the pigs in the exumas is incredible. The janky cruise stop in Nassau, not so much” — one commenter calls the Nassau version “a garbage knockoff excursion.” The logistics explain the gap. The real pigs live on an uninhabited cay deep in the Exuma chain, a spot day-trippers reach only by long, expensive speedboat runs — and a charter yacht simply anchors beside. Go early, and keep fingers clear of large, food-motivated animals. Read the full swimming pigs guide.
