2017
The Bahamas was our first port on this cruise. We left Fort Lauderdale Saturday and when I woke up Sunday **BAM** I was in Nassau.
I woke up to a flawless view of a small strip of the island flourished in plant life accompanied by a cute little dock.
I got off the ship pretty early to start my exploring since this was the shortest stop on our cruise.
When I made it to the main front, locals were bombarding offering taxi rides, beach tours, and promoting excursions,
I later found out that we were the first cruisers the island had seen since Irma visited.
So naturally they were a little bit more enthusiastic about what they had to offer, and I could appreciate that.
I spent most of my time discovering the shops and local restaurants. I always love walking through gift stores and seeing little knick-knack souvenirs. It amazes me how creative people can get with the things they make out of shells!
My day got real exciting when I came across Fat Tuesday, a world famous daiquiri bar!
After much sampling, I ordered a Dirty Monkey…. half mudslinger, half banana daiquiri. 10/10 recommend.
Overall I enjoyed the views of the island and next time I’m in the Bahamas I plan to see Atlantis!!
