We stayed on board the last time we were in Nassau. It was a beautiful, warm sunny day, and we spent the time relaxing. We had a fairly late breakfast at Beach Blanket, then stretched out on deck 9 by the adult pool, spent a little time in the hot tub, had a late lunch at Beach Blanket (it was just too nice to be inside), then back to the pool. When the ship next to us pulled out, we went back to our room and sat on our verandah, out of the sun, and read our books and organized all of our digital photos of our trip so far.
I think on our cruises in November, we'll get off once and go to Ardastra Gardens, and on one cruise we'll stay on board and just relax. No verandah this time, though, so we'll have to find some of those great chairs on deck 4 so that we can watch the world go by!
