Well, what do you want to know? Any specific questions?

My family enjoyed the food, ports, and entertainment! Coco Cay is beautiful!! Unfortunetly, on the 4/16 cruise it was too windy for the tenders so we had to skip Cococay and arrive in Nassau early. It was dissapointing, but not enough to ruin anything. Take advantage of Coco Cay, because the last tender is at 3:45! It is the shortest day, but in our opinion the best! Nassau was nice too, on the 4/16 voyage we arrived early and ended up staying overnight because of the wind, but the first day my family stayed by the pool. The next day we went shopping, and got some cute, cheap souveniers.
If anyone is doing back to back for the first time, don't worry about it! It is so easy, and works out great, because when everyone else is deporting for the first cruise, you wait until all of the colored luggage tags are called. Then there is an announcement for all of the "back to backers" to meet by the Purser's Desk, and you are escorted to everything you have to do! It is so easy, and doesn't take very long. Then, once you're back on, the ship is practically empty until 12 or so!
The second time around on 4/19 we stopped at Nassau first. We previously learned about how to get access to all of the Atlantis for the day. What we did was reserve a room at the Comfort Suites. After taking a short cab there and checking in, we walked over to the Atlantis and recieved our wristbands, identifying us as visitors. We spent the day at Atlantis, and it was fun! Unfortunetly, the weather wasn't great, not bad, but not great, so it was a little chilly and windy. We also got there later than we should have, so it was very difficult to find a chair, let alone 4 together! We finally settled in a corner with 1 or 2 chairs, and we set towels on the ground for us too. If anyone is doing this, it is SO important to get there by 8:30 in order to get good chairs. After exploring the area a little more, we found a quiter spot by a waterfall that had enough chairs for us. We sat by the pool, went on some slides, visited the aquarium, went on the lazy river ride, and had a some highly priced burgers and sandwiches for lunch there. Overall it was a fun day!
The next day we were happy to learn we would be able to go to Coco Cay. It was so beautiful there and there is so much to do on such a small island. We went shopping, sat by the beautiful water, rented a paddleboat, had the buffet lunch they set up, and even went on the jet skis! That was the only excursion we ended up doing, but it was enough to wipe us out! My 17 year old son drove his own, and I drove my 14 year old daughter around. it was fun, but verrrry fast! we also rented a water raft for the day for $10. It was fun and relaxing.
Then on the last full day we were at Key West, where we went shopping again, and walked down Duval St. It was a lot of fun and it was a beautiful day.
On the ship itself we did a LOT of the activities planned, so if there are any questions on that or anything else, ask!

Well, that turned out a lot longer than I was planning, lol. I hope it was helpful!

thanks cruisecrew for your review. Sounds like you had a great time and back 2 back was quick and easy.

Dentalchic wanted a balcony cabin so bad, but never got one, unless there was an upgrade God at the pier, so I was just looking for her review/comments on the cruise.

cruisecrew,

Could you please tell me how you went about the reservation with Comfort Suites? Did you book directly? on line? And, if you don't mind my asking, how much did it cost? What time were you able to check-in?
