Any one ever been to the Bahamas?
We are flying to Miami on Sunday and boarding a cruise ship Monday for the Bahamas
Nassau, Bahamas; Cococay, Bahamas; Key West, Florida; Miami, Florida Usually we take the Western Caribbean route, but this time it is just a short little 4 night jaunt in honor of our daughters HS graduation. We actually won free round trip airline tickets at an air show this last summer so all we had to pay for was the cruise itself. If anyone has been that route, what is it like in Nassau? |

Nope. No one has ever been.
Try to construct a map, please. |

I wanted to go, but after that incident where the flesh-eating spiders swarmed that one cruise ship I changed my mind.
Have a great trip!

this is just a new route and we have no idea what the islands will be like. Should be fun and new. |

I'm a huge fan as well. I actually just like being on the ship, though. The stops kind of stress me out because I'm always thinking, "Gotta get back on the boat. Can't get left behind. Can't be late." I think I'd prefer a cruise where you just float around and eat and watch the ocean.

always...
one year the Wichita airport canceled a flight from Wichita to St. Louis...put us on a greyhound to Dallas which broke down 10 times....I KID YOU NOT needless to say, we missed our boat. RCL put us up in the marriot in Miami and paid to fly us to Jamaica and then a two hour car trip to catch the boat in Jamaica...THEN refunded us 1/2 the cost of the cruise for each guest. There were 4 of us... It was not even their fault. The people in the airport that were going Carnival...they got nothing. Ever since then we have been loyal to RCL |

Coca Kay island is pretty cool. It's a small private island and they usually let you go to the island all day and they have a big BBQ there. You can snorkel, rent jet ski's, swim, play volleball, etc while your on the island. That was my favorite part of the being on Royal Caribbean. Nassau is ok but it's kind of dirty. They have a bunch of excursions, but if you just want to wander around the Bahamas, you can go to Atlantis or just walk around the shopping district that is right there.

we dont' like doing all the excursions The private island sounds great...kind of like the Labadee Haiti one on the WC cruise. Are their natives that make things to sell on the Coco Kay Island? |

No, the only people that live on that island are Royal Caribbean employees, although most of their employees are native to other countries. If you walk around Nassau, I wouldn't get too far off the beaten path because the neighborhood goes downhill quick once you get away from the tourist areas. Senor Frogs is just past the straw market if you want to go have some drinks.
