Rare nikkiw60 Posted February 22, 2018 Author #301 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thank you for taking the time to do this! The food pics have certainly eased our concerns about the MDR, especially after reading all of the negative reviews. We're looking forward to seeing the Seaside in person in a week. Just a quick question, have you noticed many children on board? We'll be sailing with our two boys, and I am curious about how 'busy' the kids' clubs are. Nothing really concerns me, just curiosity more than anything. Enjoy your last couple of days. Happy sailing. There are quite a lot of kids on board this week. It is school holidays in U.K. and I think parts of Europe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're sailing the week before our March Break here in Ontario, on purpose, so I guess we'll wait and see :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 22, 2018 #303 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Before I forget one for the ladies!Be carful on the highly polished floors! I went flying last night ! Got a bruise on my knee! Thank god I didn’t drop my wine glass! It’s in areas where two different floor surfaces join! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hallelujah on the wine save! :) Just getting caught up. If you're not going to do water sports in Turks, then Margaritaville is probably your best bet. Turks is great for water based stuff, but not so interesting otherwise. You are going to love NYCity in the fall! It's magnificent. Thanks for keeping us up to date... enjoy!

And we got married in New York at the marriage bureau took 2 friends with us as witnesses. Also if you do decide to book the Seaside and don’t want Yacht Club the Aurea Bar and spa are lovely!

Rare nikkiw60 Posted February 22, 2018 Author #307 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Still no prosecco but our friends have just had a bottle and canapés delivered as an apology for yesterday’s tour! They said the waiters trolley was full! They are on a lower deck than us so further feedback later! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 23, 2018 #312 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It looks like Christmas morning in your cabin :). Enjoy all the treats! Pics of aurea area please :) particularly are there any clam shells with shade? Lack of shade at the pool was my biggest complaint in YC. Such an easy fix.

lcpagejr Posted February 23, 2018 #313 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Ok thanks. We're sailing the week before our March Break here in Ontario, on purpose, so I guess we'll wait and see :) Don't expect too much of a break.... College breaks in US most of March. Many grade schools off the cruise week of 3/24 or 3/31 for spring break which always falls around Easter Holiday. Also...don't forget the kids cruise free incentive...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvabargain Posted February 23, 2018 #314 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I've only been to the Caribbean twice, and neither time included Nassau, nor is it on our itinerary next year to the Caribbean. Having read so much - mainly negative - about it, I'd love to see it for myself. Of the few islands we have visited, we really enjoyed St Maarten. We had the most wonderful tour guide who gave us a fantastic day out. I love Nassau and it puzzles me why so many are so negative about it. Downtown has a fun vibe and the beaches are gorgeous. Despite all the negative on the boards, a lot of ppl must like it because the ships still go there and cruisers seem to really enjoy their time there - so much that there are a lot of pier runners, and ppl who miss their ships.

lcpagejr Posted February 23, 2018 #315 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Lets be honest.... Nassau will never be a banned port. Not just for cruises.....But the Atlantis Resort has way to much invested to have vacationer's be scared away. Plus as previous posters have stated ....Many ships are registered out of the Bahama's..... meaning an obligatory regular stop to meet their licensing requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we didn't but looking at the chart for Aurea it is still on there. No we didn’t we just got a glass of water! We did get the reed diffuser though. What do you make of no Italian night? If they do it tonight our last night we won’t have time to get the photo that is usually taken? We are off to the spa again today for an hour.
