Do it. You won't regret it.

Awesome job on the Florider. Heard that is not an easy task. I've seen video of wipeouts and they look painful to body and esteem.

Yea I was pretty stoked. Thankfully no big wipeouts.

Nassau Continued -

 

OK ladies lets go get a victory meal! We leave deck 15 and head down to boardwalk.

 

HOTDOG time round 2. This time we have a plan. Order the dogs but get the regular American bun. The buns lil bits and I has yesterday were too bready. Is that a word? Oh well it paints the right picture.

 

 

 

We all get the Coney Island dog and I get a Wonder dog too. Coney certified! Wonder Hated It! Lil bits did not like the Wonder dog yesterday either. I liked the flavor of the German dog but did not care for the jacket yesterday.

 

We then mosey our way down to the aqua theater for the sail away party.

 

 

 

 

 

After sail away we get dolled up for Formal Night.

After dinner we floated around the Promenade taking photos. Our next engagement was Ocean Aria at 10:15.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We liked the show. Very well put together. Kinda like Cirque du Soleil we saw at Disney but on a boat and with divers.

So around 11:30 we dropped lil bits off in the room and headed to the comedy show. After the show went by Central Park just because and then we called it a night.

 

We squeezed a lot in for our first full day. Gotta Get some rest for tomorrow. It's just as full as today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This concludes our day in Nassau!

You got it on the head. We only ate there once so far. I am an escargot nut. Would do it every night if I was there.

In terms of specialty restaurants the tuna tartar at 150 central was amazing. Also the entire meal at savor was fabulous. Would do again.

OMG, we know these people. Jamie and John are there names and we met them on a cruise years ago. We have sailed with since then and should have been on Allure this week with them, as well as you. Instead we are following your great review. They created the flow rider in me and we did a group lesson. They never rode again and I have won the beast of the Best. John actually tore his rotator cuff in a bad wipeout and had surgery well after he knew what occurred.

 

My wife just messaged them your pic. Can’t wait to see their reaction.

Small world. We met in line for pics and just started chatting with each other. They were a blast.

Good morning. One question about the Hilton Marina. I checked in this morning using the HHonors app. The highest SE corner room available was on the 11th floor. 12 and 14 weren't available. Is this high enough or would it be better to forget the corner and choose a room on 12 or 14 facing S.

 

Just don't want the bridge in my face, lol! Enjoy the rest of your cruise. Everything in ATL is OK except for the fact that I'm physically here at work but mentally I've all ready checked out, haha!

Very impressive. Next time, let's see you up on your knees (from someone who has never tried it).

Hello all from beautiful Costa Maya. Partially cloudy with a good stiff breeze. I started this post earlier but it did not register so here we go again.

 

I am living in a time warp of sorts. On CC I am now on Day 3. On FB I am on Day 5. In real life I am on Day 6. Now I see why they tell you to never talk unless your attorney is present. All these details are running together so my story keeps changing. GUILTY!!!!

 

 

There was rain off in the distance that rolled in on us really quickly.

 

 

Now back to our story.

This morning started off bright and early. Lil bits had a date with the Dreamworks characters in the dining hall. I was just along for the ride. Hey that's what dads do right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those lil keepsakes just have well been gold the way she is coveting them.

Our next stop on the day was lil bits shining moment! She had a date with the sushi chefs.

 

Now I have been working on her cooking skills at home but did not realize how far she had come. She held her own against the adults at her table.

Quick note on sushi class. You must eat it there. No takeout allowed. Wish we knew this before we ate at the character bfast. Oh well we are on vacation. There are worse problems to have.

 

While she was in her class I stepped out to head to the CC M&M. We had 94 confirmed but maybe 15 turned out. The problem is you don't know the day until after you board. If you're anything like me your days are already jam packed. The only reason I was able to attend was bc my scuba class got moved to day 7.

 

 

Empty house

 

Since the CC event was not well attended I made my way to the top tier party on Boardwalk.

 

 

Why thank you sir yes I will have another.

Back in Costa Maya. I just had a small heart attack.

 

My phone time said this

 

Had to check official ship time

 

That was close. I got a full day planned and it looked like the sun was about to rise.

 

I think my phone had one too many this evening.

Now after the sushi class we had a short break then we had to hit the Promenade for good seats at the parade. Now this is a confined space but hands up to RC for putting on a first class event.

 

This smile tells it all

After the parade we steam down for ice skating and followed that up with some character pic stalking!

 

 

 

 

 

Also watched a little Flash Mob action.
