The Art Gallery of the Bahamas is a must see on any walking tour. . .
Did you go in? Did you like the art? I have put this on the top of my list as I love art and galleries.

Hi, I have these cabins available on the Verandah Deck: #s 6,10, 5, 7, 30. Any advice?
Hey all!Questions have been asked/embedded in other posts about this cabin category in other posts, so I thought I'd start a thread on it's own to answer the questions.
Fantasy Class Category 11 Cabins are the demi-suite balcony rooms on the Verandah deck on (in alphabetical order)
Ecstasy, Elation, Fantasy, Fascination, Imagination, Inspiration, Paradise, and Sensation.
Note that they are a demi-suite (or mini-suite) not a full suite, so they are about the equivalent size of the balcony rooms on the bigger ships.
I have stayed in both Category 11 and Category 12 on this class, and I must say that I am a bigger fan of the 11, for my own personal preferences. If I were to sail on this ship class again, I'd book the 11 and not the 12.
Balconies are small in comparison to the new ships, big enough for two chairs and a table, or one full size deck chair lounger. But, it has the best views on the ship. (Just don't book the obstructed views V23, V25, V27, V34, V38, or V42. Great if you get a free upgrade, but otherwise don't).
It also the one location on the ship with the fewest cabins, so unless you have the bad luck of rowdy neighbors, very quiet and very little traffic.
Also a great location to all activities.
Here are some pictures below (mine with a lot of pics and angles)
And some from other people who got shots I didnt' get.

If you're worried about the rocking, it wasn't much worse, than other areas of the ship. And you are right there with an ocean breeze, and a horizon to look at. My finace gets carsick, and we both took Bonine starting the day before the cruise, and she never had a problem at all. In fact she said she had the best sleep ever, because the boat gently rocked her to sleep each night.:)
Now, some people have had great experiences in this Category, and some haven't, mostly because their expectations were unrealistic for what this cabin type is and isn't. :confused: This is for people to see and know what they're getting, so that you can take full advantage of the benefits, and get off and running on a great vacation. Your vacation is what you make it, if you choose to have fun you will.
Hope this helps people!
Ask any specific questions, or feel free to add.

Why do some people hate cruises?

I don't hate cruises, but here's a few of the reasons why I prefer land trips to cruises:
One of the main reasons is FOOD! I want to eat the food of the country I'm visiting (esp. Greece, Italy, France).
I like to experience the museums, people, and culture for more than a day.
I like to plan my own time and go at my own pace. (I don't do tours either.)
