As I posted my last entry about or day on GSC my phone battery went kaput. Back in charge now lol. A few more pictures from our time on the island

 

Like a deserted island paradise

Soon enough the clouds said this is your last warning and we decided to head back to de ship mon

 

 

 

Does not show but the skies opened up and the bottom of the tender was filled including lots of returning crew. Needless to say we got soaked but laughed all the way back..

I will post the dailies once I am back in the room. Currently headed back to La Cucina for a lite dinner.

Is the Bacardi Bar connected to the UBP? Or are those charges separate/additional?

Is the sea rocky enough to wear water shoes @ GSC. A couple years ago they cancelled GSC so we didn't get there.

Sorry I did not get my drinks there so I do not know. Hopefully someone else can clarify for you.

I would say yes, I wore them but others in there did not. It seems less rocky than previously, but the daily even mentions water shoes are recommended.

Thanks for posting the Teen info! If you get back by there for the last few days that they post up, could you snap another pic? Y'all are awesome!! :)

[seadog67]

Really enjoying your thread, SeaDog! We sail on BA Dec 15th, so getting really excited!

 

 

 

I'm going to ask a question but also answer a question of yours. My question: you posted a menu for I thought Taste and Savor together. The NCL page for these restaurants say they have different menus. Are you seeing that, that they have different menus every day?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last night and tonight both were the same.

 

Tonights menu posted at both places

Someone recommended Charlie Love in Fat Cats and we were walking by and heard the music and stopped in and we are glad we did.. they were awesome playing all era of blues.. from Ray Charles to Michael Jackson to Earth Wind and Fire. Lots of dancing. Have some videos to share when possible.

 

Highly recommend checking them out and thanks for the recommendation! ( not sure who recommended it now as it is tough to find the post on my phone)

 

People dancing in the streets..

Thanks so much for all the pics of GSC. I have to say I am not liking the closeness of those lounge chairs. My goodness...it is not likely I will be able to maneuver myself in and out of one of them without some space on the side to do so. What were they thinking with that setup! I will probably plop myself down on my towel instead. Wondering also if they are now renting umbrellas. Someone mentioned they rented one but I was not sure if he was mistaking GSC with Harvest Caye.

Thanks Lucy! No tangerine trees or marmalade sky’s on this trip yet ;)

That's pretty typical, but there are plenty of places to get away from the main crowd even when it is more populated than today's visit. We found a great spot in a more rocky area away from this main beach that had only a few people and limited chairs. In that area, you definitely needed water shoes.

Well that's good to know...I will be on the lookout for those areas. Thanks! :D

I'm sure it's changed significantly, but this is where we were on our Feb 2016 cruise:

Yes, I was there today, it's included.

I recommended Fat Cats and Charlie Love. I know we found them early in our cruise last March and ended up going every night...for at least an hour or longer. Awesome music, great bar service and many happy, enthuisastic cruisers having a good time. Thanks for the pictures.

 

The band seems to have changed somewhat since our visit. Charlie is the same, of course. The guy on the left, Hassan, is the same. The drummer is different, and Crystal (the piano player) seems to not be there at all. Crystal was great...she mostly played the piano but would occasionally sing a song or two. She and Charlie were great together.

 

We'll be on the Breakaway again next March, I really hope Charlie and the band are playing there then.

Thanks for that recommend! The pianist was there just hidden behind Charlie in my pictures.

 

Thanks again!

Soon enough Nassau came into view

 

 

Along came the pilot

 

 

In the turning basin we found, for the 100th time now, The Lost City of Atlantis!

 

 

Seems like we will have company today

 

 

Our plans for today are currently up in the air between enjoying the ship or cabbin over to the Atlantis. The sun seems to be shining today, so we will see.

 

Hope everyone no matter where you hail from has a great day!
