Day 2: Nassau
I woke up early to watch the ship pull into port and take loads of pictures. We weren’t in a hurry to get off the ship, since I hadn’t booked any excursions in or around Nassau. My husband and I had seen Nassau before and were less than thrilled with the place. We planned to take the kids on a quick walk around town to visit the Pirates of Nassau Museum. We all agreed that we wanted to spend time onboard and really enjoy the Wonder. We ate our first breakfast at Beach Blanket Buffet. Again, enormous and filled with everything you could want. Just as we were about to head off to town, a storm was rolling in – an awesome sight to watch on the ocean. We decided to hang out and explore the ship a while till the rain/thunder stopped. I could be happy just wondering around all day with my camera. I really could not get over how beautiful every inch of this place was – and I cannot say enough about the wonderful CMs onboard. Every one of them on that ship seemed truly happy to be there (and if they are acting, they deserve Oscars). It’s a pleasure to see smiling faces all the time. (According to our Cruise Director, Christian, they are all happy because they live on Red Bull and Skittles. :laughing:) When the rain let up, we left the ship for our walk. Nassau was just like I remembered – not my favorite place. The Pirate Museum was nice, but after that we had enough. Let’s get back to the happy people onboard, please. Maybe next time we’ll venture over to Paradise Island to see Atlantis. With so many people off doing things in Nassau, the ship was much less crowded – especially the pools. We sat around the Goofy Pool and all ate from different places: Goofy’s Galley, Pinocchio’s Pizzeria, Pluto’s Dog House – lots of choices. We were trying to save room for dinner at Triton’s tonight . . . ugh, the food never ends here! Triton’s is very beautiful inside and the food was delicious. Everyone was happy with their choices. After dinner we were off to the Walt Disney Theater to see our first show – Hercules The Muse-ical. We loved this show! It was hilarious. I was in total awe – how do they do this on a cruise ship? After the show we did a little shopping, DD went off to the Oceaneer Lab (she could not get enough of this place). Then it was back to the stateroom to pack things up for our day at Castaway Cay! Yippee!!
I almost forgot to mention . . . waiting in our stateroom this time was a monkey towel animal not only bearing chocolates, but a very nice DVC gift! And a cool DVC magnet on the door. This place just gets better and better!! :cool:
