I still remember my first like it was yesterday. Now the addiction will be never ending:eek: ! Glad all of you had a good time. I too loved Coco Cay, but I got fried to a crisp by the sun:o . You and your DH will like the longer itinerary, gives you more time to relax. Happy travels always, Andros

Do you mean this past weekend, April 28, 29, 30 returning May 1? My sister was on this cruise and she said you all skipped Coco Cay because of rough seas and no tendering possible. She also said that many of the ship's cabins didn't have access to water for a while (hers was ok) and that electricity was lost for a while. I'm glad you all had a good time - she did, too! It was just funny that you said CocoCay was good, but she said it was a missed port. Also, did you have to leave Nassau early due to ship problems? High seas? Same cruise?

no, diff days, ours left MONDAY 24th...got back on FRIDAY. had AWESOME WEATHER.....nassaeu was cool but I loved cococay better...

[SeaBreezy]

Thanks for clarifying! I'm so glad that you were able to get to CocoCay. Coincidentally, it was the first cruise for my sister's friends as well. She's been on several and had been on Sovereign before, too. Did the ship have any problems while you were onboard? Or, did your cruise "cause" the problems having so much fun?:D

Yep, my first cruise was on Sovereign too and I had the same experience you did. I'm glad you had a great time and welcome to the addiction.:)

They only get bigger and better too.

My husbands first cruise was the Sovereign. He still looks at those pictures with a big smile. We did the wave runners as well. We didn't see any sharks though, fine with me!

 

I am so glad you had such a great time. Welcome to your new addiction.

Glad you liked the Sovereign. We did also-in early April. Very good cruise-alot of fun. CocoCay is divine. I have a photo of it on my desktop now. We also liked Nassau- and are planning on going back next year.

So glad you liked it!

The Sovereign is going to hold a special place in our hearts because it was our first (and 2nd):)

Sharks! OMIGOD!

I took the waverunner trip around Labadee last summer and was thinking I might do similar this year.....

I asked the guide "What happens if I fall off- there aren't any sharks are there?"....... that fibber.....he told me "just climb back on,there are no sharks.:) :)
