We took the Lambada to Prickly Pear in October of 2002 and October of 2003. There is an open bar on the boat and the vibe that follows depends on the crowd that day -- one trip was relatively mild, the other was a definate party boat atmosphere. There weren't any little kids either time -- it was mostly couples. Prickly Pear is a nice trip, but there really is nothing there except the beach, and a small beach restaurant. Quality of snorkeling depends alot on how strong the current is that day. Also, not sure if you are interested in the Lambada for the "sailing" experience. If you are just be aware that the two times we went, they used the engine the entire way there and back because the winds weren't strong enough (I assumed). The sail did go up, but was more for show.
