I haven't been able to get here for days and the suspense has been killing me! I really love all the photos, and the pics of the fish extender gifts help me think about what to do for our cruise next year.

But now you made it back!
We always have so much fun with the FE. But to us handing out the gifts is as much fun as receiving them. And by doing so you get to see a lot more ship!
We have quite a few more photos to share!

Royal Palace was our prefered breakfast venue, too, it was a very relaxing experience.
We tried Enchand Garden once and decided on the spot to never go there again.


Looking forward to reading about your Remy experience.

It's so nice to be served at the Royal Palace and the food is pretty good too! During our summer cruises (we stayed on for 11 nights) we only missed 2 breakfasts at the Royal Palace.

Enchanted Garden is quite nice, if you order an omelet, as these are served and it is still more relaxing than Cabanas.

I can give away that much ..... Remy was fun!

Yeah for being caught up!

We love having breakfast in the dining room, very relaxed and being served feels so good on vacation. You are going to love the Royal Palace!

We have been to Nassau so often, we mostly only do some shopping and head back to the ship! But I think I have a few photos coming up.

thx for sharing

I thought you would like the grilled tomato, Rosie!
Their Eggs Benedict are really yummy! I have no idea how they do it, but the yolks are still soft when they are served and they must make a lot of them, as service is FAST!!!

Day 3, February 20


Remy, a dining experience - Part 2

Around 10 we got off the ship, walked along the pier and over to the immigration building.
We walked back to where the old Bacardi store had been to find that it was still closed and by the looks of it, it will stay closed. We then walked across the street to check out a few shops and walked along the main road, checking out some of the shops. Unfortunately most of them carry just cheap souvenirs, so we were just window shopping.

It was fun to watch the policeman in his little “hut” in the middle of the road. These things are on wheels and ever so often the policeman would reposition himself.

We walked a little further down the road and finally turned into one of the side streets.

Our next stop was the Bacardi shop which is now close to the Strawmarket.

Tom had a good look around, but did not find anything he particularly liked, so we decided to try the Tortuga Rum Company. But before that, we wanted to try and get on the internet. We knew there was a Starbucks right close by, so this is where we were headed. We found Starbucks, there were lots of people with computers and we picked up that you had to pay for it, but never mind. We both ordered a

Caramel Cappucchino, paid for the internet and headed upstairs to find a seat. We sipped our coffee and Tom tried to connect to the internet, but it would not work. Everyone else who tried to connect wasn’t successful either, so after a while Tom went down to the counter and asked about what we were doing wrong.
Turns out that they had a problem with the internet and they refunded guests who had paid for it. We sipped a little more of our coffee before we dumped the rest and headed out into the streets again. Tom was sure he had seen a sign of an internet café and so we started looking out for it. Low and behold a street further on there was really a sign. We walked up the side street and found the internet café, but it didn’t look trustworthy at all, so we made a move on. We went all around the block one more time and then headed over towards the Tortuga Rum Company. They offer some rums Tom really likes and so we decided to stock up on the ones he was running low at, at home.
He picked up a few different bottles and we got two chocolate rum cakes and a carrier bag for me. Once we were done shopping we headed across the street to the grocery store to pick up some Diet Coke and a box of Crackers. Once our shopping there was completed we stopped at the off licence at the next corner to pick up a few more bottles of beer for Tom.

Now that we had gotten everything we wanted to buy we slowly tracked back to the Customs House and when we had finally arrived I packed all our purchases in the Tesco’s bag I usually bring with me, so it is easier to carry everything on board.

To be continued ..........

 

[Linda67]

Now that's my kind of shopping ............... coffee and rum

 

[SharonK0527]

Sounds good! Looking forward to more!

 

[podsnel]

So- how do you transport the rum home? Do you bubble wrap iot in your suitcase? Do you pay extra to ship it? I have several bottles of Guavaberry for Kara (from St Martin) and I'm trying to decide if I should bring it with me in May or just ship it somehow, and I'm kind of leaning towards shipping it- thanks!

 

[englishrose47]

Nassau looks interesting !! I got a kick out of the COP on wheels !!

 

[KatMark]

Great update, Karin. Not a fan of rum, but love the coffee at Starbucks. That stinks about the internet being down.

 

[eandesmom]

Glad the rum shopping paid off, I will remember that if we decide to pick anything up.

 

[annmarieda]

The officers cart is a bit... interesting.

Yum on the rum cakes. Chocolate? AND Rum? YUMMMM

Looks like it was a beautiful day.
