Blue Lagoon Island in Nassau!

I've only been on two cruises, but haven't had a bad port yet.

First cruise was Progreso and Cozumel. Progreso we got off the ship and walked a little and ran into an American couple that moved there. They directed us to a little local restaurant/bar where we had the best chicken nachos, quesadillas and margaritas! Then we walked down to a bar on the beach and played volleyball. Cozumel we shopped and walked around then got a cab to Bob Marley's restaurant and sat on the beach and ate and drank and relaxed. Wonderful experience at both places!

Our 2nd cruise was with the kids and other family members and we went to Key West, Freeport and Nassau. In Key West we walked to the southernmost point and shopped on the way. By the way it is more than a 20 minute walk!!! We got a cab back to the ship. In Freeport we just browsed the shops at the port and bought some handmade souvenirs. The locals were very polite and didn't hassle us at all. I loved talking with some of the little old ladies as they showed me their crafts.

Nassau was by far the best! We went to Blue Lagoon and swam with the Dolphins, then enjoyed their beach for the rest of the day.

Our next cruise will take us to Grand Cayman, Montego Bay and back to Cozumel (with my mom and our kids this time). We will have a great time at those three ports also.

I think your cruise is what you make of it and plenty of people on here trash certain ports and I think a lot of cruisers go in already being negative about the places they read about. Go in with a positive attitude and research beforehand!! On your own! Do not go by this site alone to make your plans.

Just my two cents :)

Beautiful family! Can't wait for the rest, we are sailing the Breeze in January 2017.

We are wanting to book our cruise for next year and want to do an aft wrap. I was going to book cabin 9472 on the Breeze, but after reading reviews and comments on that cabin, I read that it is not an actual aft wrap balcony. Can anyone explain why? On the carnival site, that balcony actually looks bigger and more 'wrapped' on the side and the aft than the ones below it! The site is still charging me for a 'premium vista balcony'. I read where others said it was cheaper since it wasn't a

Would the aft wrap on deck 8 be better than the one on deck 9? I don't want to spend that kind of money and be disappointed that it's not what I'm paying for.

I prefer decks 8 or 9, the actual room size and not having a sofa isn't a big deal to me.
