The trip took approximately 10-15 minutes which included bus stops along the way. The bus stopped very close to where Breezes is located.

We decided to skip the ‘Love & Marriage Game’ that was starting at ten and instead went to see Arielle singing with a live band in the Mad Hatter’s Ball.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following ‘Superstar live’ we decide we deserved a treat, any reason will do on vacation.

Tracy had the White Forest Cake, if you look at the photo displaying the desserts you will see they also have the Black Forrest Cake. :p

LOL, when I looked at the pic of the this dessert, I have to admit that I thought that it looked like some old potatoes in the top of it :eek: I was wondering if it was good. I don't think I could have possibly eaten more than about 1/4 of that, they are certainly generous with the portion!

I'm loving your review. I love all of your reviews actually. But I'm really enjoying this one as you stopped in the exact same ports that we'll be stopping in on our upcoming Carvnival cruise in January. I'm looking forward to the rest of your day at Breezes as we are still debating on what to do in Nassau as we've been there 4 times before and are thinking about doing something different this time and we've never went to one of the all inclusive resorts before. Not only in Nassau, but anywhere. So I'll be patiently waiting and anticipating the rest of your review. Thanks so much for taking the time to write it and letting us all go on a virtual cruise with you and your family! :)

The fee was $65 per person; it included food and alcoholic drinks. The facilities included the beach, pool, rock climbing, tennis, gym, pool tables and many more. You could even go sailing, we meant to but a party got in the way.

Mike, I am SO enjoying your review. Your reviews are always the best. Mega pics! You have a lovely family that knows how to have a good time together. :)

We decided to try rock climbing first. It was the first time for Tracy and I. Arielle went first. The wall had three courses. The one on the left was the easiest, middle harder and on the right was the hardest.

 

She got about half way up

I'm really enjoying your review (as always)!

 

Breezes looks really nice. How did you sign up for that?

 

Thanks for taking the time!!

Then it was Tracy’s turn, by the time she got half way up, whichever leg was in the bent position would start to shake uncontrollably. She’s usually not afraid of heights but she didn’t feel comfortable. She kept saying to the guy at the other end of the rope, “do you have me”, meaning if I lose my grip do you have me. He kept reassuring her. She would go a little higher and say “I can’t, look at my leg shake” and he would respond “ see the peg on the right, just above your knee, just try it” she would and up she went a bit further. These exchanges between the two of them went on until she reached the very top.

The second she reached the top she let go and wanted down immediately, she did it so quickly that I didn’t get a chance to get a photo of her at the very top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exhausted but happy

Mike: my first thought is: At least it isn't climbing a rope in a gym! Glad you and your family are doing well, Tracey looks like the work life is treating her awesome!

I was next, I couldn’t decide if I should try it or not because of a bad left shoulder, I had received a cortisone shot just before the cruise and the shoulder was still weak. I decided to try it since it looked like too much fun to pass up.

I got about ¾ of the way up and I was pleased with myself. I would definitely like to try it again.

 

Some of the pegs are smooth and hard to get a grip. They provide you with a pouch filled with talc that hangs behind your back. The problem is to reach back there when your holding on for dear life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So close and yet so far

Mitchel had said he wouldn’t try it but changed his mind after seeing the three of us going up. Unfortunately Mitchel weighs 210 pounds to my 175. I figured he would not get very far.

Building in the rear of the photo is a BBQ pit. Burgers, Hot Dogs, Jerked Chicken, Salads, etc. Since we had skipped breakfast, I had something to eat after our rock climbing.

We had a lot of fun and hated to leave. We decided to take a taxi back at $5 per person. We asked to be dropped off on Bay Street.
