We certainly knew we had arrived in Nassau as the room started to shake and vibrate with the noise of the engines - it was loud!!!!!
We got up and headed to Parrot Cay for breakfast. We had decided to go ashore for an hour or so and then head back onto the boat as we had heard it can be extremely quiet onboard with most people ashore.
I certainly wouldnt walk about here on my own or if it wasnt busy. I felt a little intimidated. If I was asked once I was asked 100 times if I wanted my hair braided or if we wanted a taxi. We just politely refused and to be fair they seemed to be ok with this. We were offered drugs a few times and at dinner, another guy said he was offered drugs more than 20 times!!!!!!
We noticed that the Captain Morgans Spiced Rum was cheaper here than on the boat, so we grabbed a litre bottle for $10.95!!!!! The perfume also seemed reasonable. Same price as in the malls but without the tax, so I treated myself to Armani Diamonds and Jean Paul Gautier.
It was getting hot, so we headed back to the ship and straight to the Adult Pool. It was quiet and we grabbed a great spot right by the pool. We spent the afternoon listening to live band, drinking cocktails, swimming and sunbathing. Really enjoyed it even though we normally like to be up and about. I decided to treat myself and booked into the Spa for a massage but changed my mind and had reflexology (foot /leg massage). It was amazing - the only thing that put me off is I got a hard sell at the end trying to get me to buy over $300 of products!!!!!!!!! I had to say NO several times and in the end only got away after saying I would come back after getting the OK from DH!!!!!!!
The show tonight was a family show with Heath Hyche and as we had seen the adult version the night before, we decided to go and shower and chill before dinner. They was also the added bonus of my future new husband making an appearance at 7:15.
It was Pirates IN the Caribbean night tonight but DH wouldnt dress up BOOOO!!! Showered and dressed, I headed to deck 4 to meet my new hubbie. We were third in line and then he appeared - Mr Jack Sparrow mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . When you check in, you get a business card with your room number on and when it was my turn, I asked him to take the card and I would see him later. He said I was very naughty (in the accent) swoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dinner was OK - everyone seemed to be having lots of fun with their servers and table mates - apart from us!!!!! Have to say dinner was SLOW and by the time we had finished, we couldnt get near to see the Pirate Show. We watched Mickey fly into the rescue and then watched the fireworks.
Had a walk round the ship and then went to bed.
Tomorrow - Castaway Cay
