That said, nice photos and it looks like you've had a wonderful time.  Thanks for the photos.  You really did a great job of capturing a few things that most people don't post photos of.  That's really helpful!  

Thank you @poncho1973!

 If you are concerned about theft, please watermark those photos.

I try to do that for my "good photos"

Ok everyone it is now time for dinner in the MDR. Here is the menu for tonight.

The Crispy Calamari.

The Roasted Beef Tenderloin.

With "Steak Fries".

In the MDR today was the night they sang for us.

And finally the best part of the meal at the MDR. Desert!

After dinner it was time for our sailaway from port.

Well that wraps it up for day number three. Tomorrow is our last day and a sea day!

So after laser tag I headed to the head to the helipad to see all the ships at night but at last I was a little bit to late. As the only ship left was the Bahamas paradise Grand Classica.

But right after I made it to the helipad. She blew her horn and was headed back to West Palm Beach.

And then right after watching the ship leave it was time to head to the diamond club. but on my way up to there I snapped a photo of skypad at night. 

Laser Tag

Ok so here is a mini review about the laser tag on the Mariner OTS. So this was my second time ever doing laser tag on a RCI ship. The first time I did it was back in 2018 on Mariner when she first got it right after dry dock. Now back then the line was very short. And when I say very short. I mean no line at all. But today there was about a twenty minute line to get in. So right after you walk into Studio B. You are greeted by your first look's of the Laser Tag area.

Right after that they do make you sit down and wait on the team that is playing now to finish before you are let down to get your vest on and view the safety film. In this film they do a good job of telling you the rules and giving you the backstory about the game. 

And the right before they let you out to play the commuter will automatically pick your team. The two teams are the aliens and the robots. And then right after that it is time to play!

The game last about five minutes. But the whole experience takes just over fifteen minutes to do. Overall it is a great fun thing to do onboard the ship. And a matter of fact I did it a second time after that!

After the arrival of the  Carnival Elation. There was a yacht behind it.

But after the Yacht it was time for the Celebrity Equinox arrival into Nassau.   

After watching that great arrival Of  the Celebrity Equinox. It was then time for lunch in the windjammer. and then after that lunch It was time to go back to the flowrider. This wave Session was not at all packed and I was able to get 15+ rides in. 

Well good Moring from Nassau. Today I was planning to get up and see our arrival into port but I slept in a little bit too late. But I was able to catch the arrival of the Carnival Liberty. 

At 8:00am Sharp she was docked beside us.

At 8:45am The Grand Classica was arriving into her dock space in Nassau.

After her arrival It was time to hit the wave. The lines were pretty short for stand up today. but the lines for bogie board was super long. So instead of riding I was able to see the Carnival Elation pull into port. She pasted the lighthouse at 10:15am.

Also today they were having a crew lifeboat drill. They used the horn twice during the drill and it happen once when I was on the wave. 

 One sad thing about the Elation was the rust on her. She had more rust spots on her than the Grand Classica. And I believe The Grand Classica is older.

Before heading back to the ship. I was able to spot one of Coco Cay full time residents.

After that it was time to get back on Mariner OTS! 

Well guys after a few great runs on the wave I said it was time to go to Dimond club.

After a few drinks it was time to head to the MDR for dinner. here is  our table number. I forgot to take a photo about it in the first night.

Here Is Tonight's Menu.

After that awesome meal it was time to head back to the wave for the adult Flowrider Session from 9:45pm To 10:15pm.

Well that wraps up day number two. Tomorrow we are in Nassau. Also Forgot to add but the solarium pool has been closed since the first day.

Did the GoPro have to be mounted on a helmet, or was it ok as long as the camera was firmly attached to you with a strap so there was no chance of it being dropped? 

I use the wrist strap and that worked out the best due to the way they make you ride the zip line. I was going to use a head strap but I was afraid it was going to fly off when I hit the brakes at the end of the line. Plus if I used the head mount my hand would be in the shot.

I Can Confirm That The DL Concierge Is Leo On Mariner OTS As Of 1/13/20.  He is one of the best I have encountered😊

We just cruised on the Mariner Jan 13 - 17 and plastic water bottles were still used.

I also was on that sailing and can say they used plastic bottles every night at the diamond club. now I wonder if they will still let you get bottle water every night at the DC or will they remove that from the menu.

The Zip Line 

Ok here is a little back story to why I booked the zip line at coco cay. So about a month ago I was looking at the cruise planner and I was at the home page of the cruise planner and they had the zip line on "Sale" for $69.95 which after asking some folks. I found out that was a great price for it. When I did navigator in October the zip line was at $79.95 for it then. so I am glad I got it for the price of $69.95. So here are some photos token from the gopro. We will start at the first line. This line goes right over the wave pool and the main restrooms located at the Thrill Water Park.

The second line took you over the Adventure pool at the Thrill Water Park.

And the third and last one took you right over Splash Away Bay and the Harbor Lagoon. 

Over all this was a great zipline tour if you are just starting out on ziplines and you want to see the island. But I do prefer the one at Labbdee over the one at Coco Cay.

Well good Moring from perfect day at coco cay. Today we are the only ship here!

Next door at NCL private island Great Stirrup Cay.

From 9:00 to 11:00 I hit the wave. Lines were super short and staff were great!

After that it was time for lunch at the snack shack. Today I got the shack burger.

The Shack Crispy Chicken sandwich.

Watermelon, Fries.

And The Brownie.

Before going to our zip line tour I got a nice seat at the harbor beach.

Ok  well I did not take a lot of photos from our sail away. But I did take a photo of Space X faring chancing ship the Go Ms. Tree.

Well I did not ride the wave this afternoon due to the line being so long. But I did got to play mini golf. It was very fun and is worth the walk to get to it.

When I was playing golf the NCL Sun pulled up beside us.

After golf It was time for dinner in the MDR. 

Tonight I got the seasonal fruit melody. It was very good for this whole cruise.

And the creaser salad.

And I also got the spaghetti.

Well that is it for day number one. 

Ok now it is time of a mini cabin tour of cabin 7341. Here is the bed.

And here is the bathroom. 

After lunch it was time to hit the wave. 

Here is the desk were you sign the wavier.

Ok Here We Go!! 

I left my home at 8:00am and made it to PC by 9:45.

At 10:00 I was onboard the shuttle and was heading to the ship.

At 10:20 I arrived at the pier. Check in was super fast. 

And at 10:45 we were onboard!

Todays lunch!

I was there on the Friday after new years and it was packed.
