Mardi Gras: Nassau

on
October 8, 2021

Good Morning! I guess this is Nassau.

I don’t have any excursions planned for today but I am going to get off of the ship at some point for a couple of local beverages.

Here is today’s schedule of events.

What happens with this depends on the placement of my neighbors’ food…

Mardi Gras: Planning

on
August 23, 2021

I can’t believe it’s been almost 18 months since my last cruise planning post. The next one was supposed to be Carnival Magic’s Southern Caribbean itinerary out of Miami 12 months ago. After having bookings canceled for August, November, December, January, February and April, my travel agent advised me…

The Forts of Nassau

on
February 15, 2021

If you are one who enjoys history, a visit to Nassau’s forts may be something that interests you. As far as I know there isn’t an organized tour that takes you to all of the forts, but this is something you can easily do on your own without spending…

Freeport: Bahamian Brewery

on
January 18, 2021

When looking at Freeport I didn’t find that there were very many excursion options. A lot of people were going to the Grand Lucyan Resort. The Bahamian Brewery tour and tasting sounded more my style.

I didn’t book an official tour. I took a cab and paid for the tour…

Christmas Magic: Nassau

on
December 27, 2019

Good morning from Nassau! This port day really did sneak up on me. This is the first time I’ve had a port day before my first sea day. I prefer to have a sea day, three port days, then two sea days at the end.

My last two cruises…

Christmas Magic: Planning

on
November 22, 2019

I booked this cruise after the NFL schedule was released. The football gods left me two potential windows to cruise: September 23rd-October 5th and November 29th-December 7th. I definitely have developed a preference for Dream and Vista class ships so I searched for cruises during those two time frames…

I Have a Dream: Nassau

on
April 10, 2019

Good morning. We are in Nassau with the ship I spent my first three cruises on, Carnival Elation.

First cruise was on Elation in room R1 which I believe should be the bottom right two portholes. Having no idea how to choose a room at the time…the thought process was…

I Have a Dream: Freeport

on
April 10, 2019

Good morning from Freeport!

We are in port with the Carnival Liberty, Carnival Paradise, and the Grand Celebration (formerly Carnival Celebration).

It looks like there’s just tons of fun waiting to be had here!

I’m not too excited about this port. It doesn’t seem like there’s much to do. I think a…
