Back from the Bahamas

We are back from our 4 day cruise to the Bahamas!  Here is a list of my favorite things about our vacation:
  1. cabin stewards (I loved not making my bed OR cleaning the bathroom)
  2. no cooking!
  3. no laundry
  4. warm weather on the deck while reading relaxing books and listening to music
  5. chocolate melting cake available every night for dessert
  6. my first pina colada which someone brought to me while I was reading in the warm sunshine!
  7. uninterrupted time with my husband
  8. gentle swaying of the boat while sleeping
  9. waking up to new scenery
  10. no driving, traffic, or highways
I could go on and on about everything we enjoyed on our vacation.  Instead, here are a few pictures.


Joel on the island of Nassau, awaiting his massage on the beach :)


Freeport


Frank's ice cream!  Of course we had to try it.


Nassau before the rain came


My favorite spot on the ship, Serenity, adults-only.


All of the cruise ships in the port at Nassau


We think this towel animal is a dog?  Rasheed (or Rashawn?  Ramon?) did these for us every night with chocolates on our pillow.  We actually did save the chocolates for the kids.


Joel eating yummy chocolate amaretto cake


Joel and I after finishing our last dinner on the ship, it's a good thing I took lots of stretchy clothes to wear.

The Carnival Fascination, our ship.  If we cruise on Carnival again, I will definitely consider getting a tattoo first so I can fit in better.  It is the party ship!  I did enjoy the evening "Showtimes" during dinner when the wait staff danced/sang for us.

  1. This sounds like THE perfect trip. My favorite is the pina colada and a book. Seriously, how could it get much better than that?
