I just have a few final pictures to share with y’all from our cruise. I wish I could say that some of these were taken during our visit to Atlantis on Paradise Island in Nassau, but we made the decision to leave our camera on board the ship while we went on that excursion. We had an excellent time at the water park in Atlantis, even though the weather was a tad too cool in my opinion. Nevertheless, Ty and the Tool Man had a wonderful time trying out all the intense water slides. Lucy and I mainly hung out at the kiddie pools. Have any of you ever been to Atlantis? That place is HUGE! I believe the brochure said it was 140 acres. I had no idea. There were about 3 or 4 high rise hotels with swimming pools and water slides all in between. Not to mention the snack stands and restaurants scattered all around. And, oh year, a casino, spa, beach, and aquariums too! It was quite an impressive place!
Anyway, back on the ship, we continued to do what we love best about cruising…
Chilling!
As small as our room was, the Monkeys found plenty of nooks and crannies to goof around in. The pull out bed, the window sill, the bathroom, the closets…
And speaking of monkeys…
This is what we found in our room after dinner one night.
Our last stop before heading home was Freeport. We didn’t book an excursion here, and thus there was absolutely nothing for us to do. All we did was take a quick stroll through the souvenir shops at the port. Then it was back to the ship for one final day of swimming and sunning.
Lucy found this straw purse that she just couldn’t live without.
Ty was eyeing these coconut carvings, but he’d already spent all his money.
Our last night on the ship. 
Time to get the suitcases out and start packing.
But the fun’s not over yet! We still had one more dinner to attend.
I always say that I want to try new foods on the ship, because if you don’t like something, you’re not out any moolah. So, what did I try?
Sushi! Well, kinda. It didn’t really look like any sushi that’d I’d seen before.
I did discover something that I absolutely loved, though. Seared tuna.
Blackened on the outside, and perfectly rare in the middle. Yummy. The Tool Man was a little nervous about trying it, but I convinced him to take a bite, and he loved it too. I also tried some cured salmon and really liked it as well. Who knew that I’d like raw fish? Maybe those Japanese are on to something.
The Tool Man loves the French Onion Soup.
All the desserts that were available on this ship and Ty orders sherbet every night.
As a treat the last night on the ship, we ordered a couple of “umbrella drinks.” Now don’t y’all freak out on me and call the preacher. Lol. They were non-alcoholic! The kids got strawberry and I got pina colada. But as you can see, Lucy decided she liked mine better.
Saying, “goodbye,” to Lilly.
We weren’t seated with anyone at dinner on this cruise, (I guess that’s what happens when you have kids) but this was the crew that sat adjacent to us.
I thought I'd throw this picture in just to show y’all how much our ship rocked. No trick photography here, people. Thankfully, the Tool Man and I don’t get seasick. This boat rocked so much! Front to back. Side to side. Sometimes all four directions at once! I think it was due to the fact that it was smaller than the ships we are used to sailing on. I actually kind of liked all the rocking, though. Especially at night. It was like being rocked to sleep.
Well, that’s it. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about our Caribbean cruise. We had a wonderful time! The only negative was that it didn’t last nearly long enough. Ha ha. Hopefully Santa will be as good this coming Christmas as he was the last!
