We are visiting the Bahamas via Royal Caribbean Majesty of the Seas in November of 2009. We are traveling with 2 other couples. I can't wait to share new pics and quips. http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/Bahamas/blog-446531.html In the valley below Fort Charlotte there is a traditional cricket field. Last night the full moon illuminated the cricket field and lured Rache and I to the Cricket Club. I felt like we learned about one of the best kept secrets in Nassau. Walk past the gentlemen playing dominoes and go up the creaky staircase to the open air patio upstairs. It was almost magical. The food was rich and succu http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/Paradise-Island/Atlantis-Resort/blog-434416.html Who dares to start their morning with a bit of dolphin training and end their day with a dive in a SUB down to 20 feet over gorgeous reefs We DOWe started the morning off with a dolphin encounter.

Since this is her first time appearing in my travel blog I put the pressure on and asked her write today's blog. Without futher ado here's her update on today's adventure...

Cruising has three major elements. 1. All you can eat2. Very little trip planning required3. Overpriced drinks.Usually I love planning out my own adventures trekking my way through a new country strug http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/Paradise-Island/blog-400077.html Irsquom a month and a day away from the end of this contract and going home. Meanwhile something exciting is happening to help the time go by my sister Melanie and her friend Jessica have come to cruise with meThe girls arrived yesterday when we were in Miami. They stepped on the ship and I immediately took care of them at the lobby bar I had to work both in the afternoon and evening b http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/Paradise-Island/Atlantis-Resort/blog-399215.html I just got back from the Islands of the Bahamas and I have to say that it was the most incredible trip and I have to tell you about it. It's better in the Bahamas http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/Paradise-Island/Atlantis-Resort/blog-397105.html Irsquove been struggling to adjust to being on this ship. But now two weeks in I have something very exciting to occupy me Ginny has come to cruise with meGinny is going to be here for 2 cruises 10 days and Irsquom so happy about that. Wersquove also completely lucked out. Though she was booked to stay in a crew cabin a guest cabin was available so she got to move in there. Pl http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/blog-393292.html Nassau is not like I remembered it in 1991 but then I guess that is because a lot of time has passed. Paradise IslandThe action is no longer in downtown Nassau that is rundown and just plain stinky it is all in Paradise Island. Nassau is good for what the rest of the Bahamas are for when not on the beach island culture and colonial cityscapes. On Paradise Island you go to Atlantis . . . al http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/blog-388069.html We left Ft. Lauderdale on an overnight cruise. The next morning we were at Nassau Bahamas. We set for snorkeling and lunch at the Blue Lagoon. Short and sweet. http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/blog-387956.html Nous sommes de retour Nassau la capitale des Bahamas. Nous partons demain matin vers la Floride. Notre plan de navigation Chubs Cay le Bank Bimini et Lake Work. Cela va nous prendre environ 3 jours de navigation en arrtant le soir pour coucher. Nous avons donc profiter de notre sjour Nassau pour aller revisiter Paradise Islands. Iimmense complexe htelier un genre de Disney World. Nous http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/Bahamas/blog-386278.html I liked the hostel that I was staying at in Miami so much that I decided to stay there for the rest of my time in Miami. I have now made good friends with three guys Stuart Carlo and Timor. On the second last day Stuart and I went down to Key West which is the southernmost part of the USA. We got a coach down there and it's about a 3 hour drive. The drive is really cool though cause to get down t http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/Bahamas/blog-374675.html Nous sommes le 15 fvrier.a y est nous avons enfin quitt Bimini. Mercredi le 11 nous avons quitt notre quai vers 11h00 avec la mare descendante et deux autres bateaux copains Journey et Sea Bird et sommes alls nous ancrs North Cat Cay. Petite navigation de deux heures dans une mer relativement calme. Au moment de passer le phare de Cat Cay il y avait des vagues formes par le coura http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/blog-374163.html Half way into our stay at Sandals we had the pleasure of an entire day out with one of our servers Antoine. We were telling him about how we wanted to see the real Nassau rather than the tourist areas. Over 5 hours we drove all over the island and really got to see what life is like there which was absolutely fantastic and one of the greatest memories of our trip. He even showed us where he l http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/blog-368107.html So one of the biggest things people told us to go do in the Bahamas was VISIT ATLANTIS Atlantis is a massive resort located on Paradise Island right across from the main harbour in Nassau. To get there from Sandals we hopped on the local bus 10. Travelling on a local bus is the Must do for Trev and I in any country we are in. You get your own personalized tour which is made even more e http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/Bahamas/blog-368102.html One of the major selling points of Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort is drumroll its own private island which is very swish and enticing to the frozen Canadian booking a tropical holiday. The sandals brochure lures you in with images of private hammocks on a white sand beach a butler whose name is probably Adonis who brings fruity drinks to your table and the Caribbean sun shining down on turquo http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/Bahamas/blog-368099.html Trevor and I flew out to the lovely Sandals Royal Bahamian resort for a much deserved break after the isane experience that is getting married. We were very excited for a holiday with lots of adventures fruity drinks no children no family and a whooooole lotta sun. Ok. Maybe scratch the sun part not much luck with thatThe Canadian airline Westjet was our choice of flight down there with ver http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Bahamas/Nassau/Bahamas/blog-368097.html
