The repo was fabulous... We had no port changes due to weather (not bad considering it was 15 days during hurricane season)! Fay was doing her stuff while we were in the Pacific, Gustav was into the Gulf when we were on our way to CC (from Aruba) and Hanna was about one or two days from the Bahamas by the time we got to CC.
They did alter our course to stay away from Gustav. When going from Aruba to CC we were supposed to go between Cuba and Hispanola, but instead we went between Hispanola and Puerto Rico.
By and large the Carribean side of the cruise was smooth as silk. The Pacific side was more choppy, but I think part of it was we had some passenger miss the all aboard time in Acapulco and they had to make up for lost time to make it to the Panama Canal for our time slot. Generally speaking we were going much faster on the Pacific part than the Carribean.
As for FE gifts, many many were Pirate related, there were many small door magents (at least 15) and pens. Some folks gave out stuff related to where they were from - 2 Canadians gave out Tim Horton's coffee, a New Zealander gave some interesting postcards, etc. Among the big hits were a small rubber chicken key chain and a real working POTC pocket watch.
As for Nassau, I have done the Comfort Suites to gain access to Atlantis' facilities (and they are fabulous facilities). If it were up to me, I would be doing it again, but we have another family coming with us and I an not sure what we will be doing on Nassau day this time around...
