October 2022 – Day 7

The ship docked in Nassau, the Bahamas, around 7:00am.  As we had nothing planned except some shopping, we took our time getting up.

We finally left the ship a 9:00am and took advantage of a golf cart shuttle to go off the pier into town.

 Since we have been here several times, including a week at a Sandals Resort, so there was nothing we really wanted to except walk the main street of town shopping.

 Barb was looking for a scarf and she found two!!

 After a few hours we went back to the ship, up on the food deck and had lunch sitting on the back of the ship outside – very relaxing.

 With a combination of our cruise compliments of the casino and a new drink, wi-fi policy, we have unlimited wi-fi and a great drink package that includes all the Kahlua drinks that Barb wants, inside and out of the casino. 

 At lunch and later on the deck we utilized this new perk.  Barb likes Kahlua and cream and Ed likes Pina Colada and we both had several during the afternoon.

 The temperature was in the mid-80’s and very hot so we were only able to say outside until a littler after 3:00pm.

We had some snacks late in the afternoon and had planned to go to the casino before and after the show and dinner; however, we never left the dock in time for the casino to open.

As of now, it is midnight and the ship has not left the port.  We were told it was a medical emergency and they were waiting an air ambulance.  We were told by the Captain that we would still make it to Aruba on time – let’s hope so

The show in the theater was a production number we have seen twice and neither time did we like it.  So we went to dinner early.

 We are in a cabin class called Aqua Class which is a step right below the suites and has some nice perks.  One of them is our private dining room for this class called Blu.  It is a step above the regular dining room and only seats maybe 60 people at one time. 

 After dinner sat and relaxed hoping the casino would open and as I said it did not.

 We listened to some Latin music and their set was over we went up to the top floor where they were playing 80’s music.

 As I mentioned, we are not in our room and it is midnight and we have not left yet. 

 Let’s hope we wake up tomorrow and we are on our way. 

Night from the dock at Nassau.

ps - we left Nassau at 2:00am and the Captain said we would make Aruba on time.
