DAY 3

I must really be in cruise mode as I thought  we were in Nassau today…..wrong…..it’s tomorrow.

Today we are cruising between Cuba and Florida.  The seas are calm and the weather is nice and warm.

The entertainment and activities are excellent on board.  Being such a large ship there is always a bar or café with music.  The Promenade is a very popular gathering place.  We’re enjoying the Pig and Whistle pub where you can buy a pint, and relax and people watch.

The show in the theatre last night was excellent his name was El Gaucho.  We thought we may have seen this show before on Rhapsody but this wasn’t the same act.  He was excellent and very talented, played Spanish Guitar, piano, sang cracked jokes and was also very good at twirling his Bolles….work that one out…. J.

The power points in the cabin require an international adapter to fit the USA fitting.

Irons are not permitted on board and they screen all checked baggage.  Many people have had their irons confiscated until they disembark.  People bringing ‘bottles’ of wine in their luggage also had it confiscated and will have it given back to them when they disembark.

The shop prices are very reasonable.  A lot of goods on sale in the shops.  Perfumes are a great price and there is a large selection.  Just hope they keep these prices the same when the ship comes down to Australia.

We love our cabin 9220 right up the very front of the ship.  It’s a perfect spot, very quiet as nobody walks past. Nice sheltered and sunny balcony with no one else to the left of us, only to the right.

The crew are all very happy and helpful.  They’re all looking forward to cruising from Australia as many haven’t been to our part of the world before.

Enjoyed the Trivia Quiz in the Schooner Bar yesterday afternoon.  Didn’t do so well only 13 out of 21, we’ll have to pull our socks up today.  Mind you some of the answers we didn’t quite agree with, but it’s only a game.  Some others didn’t think that, and it was like World War 3 over some of the answers and with such a prize to be had it was so important to some that they snuck their laptops in to Google answers…..can you believe anyone would do that just win  ‘Royal Caribbean Key rings’…..  Happy to say the ‘Laptoppers’ didn’t win… J

Nassau is a Duty Free port so looking forward to visiting there very much. Apparently it’s a very easy place to get around.
