CARRIBEAN CRUISE

 It's better in the Bahamas

I booked a cruise to the Carribean islands as a short getaway during my bussiness trip in Florida.This was my first cruise on Royal Carribean,5th cruise over all..

It was a relaxing escape..

The ship looked relatively new,offering a large pool deck,a champagne bar,glass enclosed elevetors etc..I had an ocean view cabin which was comfortable and fairly modern.

During the cruise there was one formal dinning night ...

Most women wore coctail dresses or gowns while men wore suits.

The food on the ship was excellent!! So was the entertainment either. I really enjoyed the reggae music!!!!

I was worried about the weather conditions and scared about the big waves but it was ok..

We arrived at NASSAU HARBOR and we were ready to explore the paradise island!!

Nassau is the capital of Bahamas which bustles with traffic.Tourists from around the world flock here to relax in the worm,tropical climate.

NASSAU'S CABLE BEACH has the feeling of a classic Carribean beach with its soft white sand and turquoise waters.It's also safe for swimming.

Paradise island is connected to the mainland by two bridges.Besides the water park of Atlantis resort ,you can see prime attractions .

Marina village with the luxury shops,restaurants,yachts etc is a 'must' see!!

I climbed the step staircase,known as Queen's staircase to Fort Fincastle,the highest point on the island which affords panoramic views of the Nassau and the ocean beyond..

TIP
-Senor Frogs is a 'must' when cruising in the Bahamas!!

Enjoy the crazy decorations and furniture in a funny atmosphere.I loved the vibe and the enthusiasm of the entertaintment staff.
TIP
-Try sky juice coctail....

The next cruise stop was at COCO CAY which is a colorful Royal Carribean's private island.

Its beaches are so beautiful with indescribable sea color,calm and warm crystal clear waters,palm trees with hummocks and white poudre sand.

The island is small.I  gave a complete turn in less than an hour.

Each beach has a feature.

THE BAREFOOT BEACH is ideal for those who want to relax in a tropical ambience..

In SNORKEL BEACH you can enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving..

WATER SPORTS BEACH is  better for water sports lovers..

COCONUT WILLY'S BEACH is super for children..
The food on the island is released and there are bars with Carribean coctails and drinks..

     TIP
-Try the famous coco loco coctail ..

After a quick 3 days getaway from stress, this was a great experience to remember for a lifetime!!

Can't wait to travel to Carribean sea again and visit the rest of Carribean islands!!!!!!
