We found umbrella street, which is similar to what they do in San Juan. No visit is complete without visiting a rum distillery rum casks and more Sampling some is always a good idea. This was a Hemingway special

We did our own walking tour around Nassau. First stop was the British Colonial, where Bond scenes in Never Say Never Again were filmed. We stopped by Margaritaville Resort to check it out as a possibility for August when we are here. Then checked out the beach and Tiki bar

We haven’t been to Nassau since the port was rebuilt. It is so much nicer than the old one. Of course, I had to do a mooring line shot for @Sea Dog Go ahead, make a Wish

That nice, 74m superyacht tied up next to us is owned by Mark Scheinberg. It is supposedly worth $100 million.

On our sailing, formal night was night 2, and dress your best was night 6. They did have white night and red night also. There were quite a lot of people dressed nicely on those nights. I think it was because of the number of families onboard, wanting nice Christmas photos. We did get our two free photos. And I was remarking about always getting digital prints for our free ones. Not so this time, just prints.

If it is advertised as a taste of the UK, just look at the composition of the meal you get in the UK vs. this. This stuff made long John silvers look like a high end meal.

It was reported on another thread that Royal spends about $17 per person, per day on food. Not just the evening meal, that is all meals. Much cheaper cuts and tougher meats.

it is. Here is one from a higher view from my walk with Daryl

Daryl found a duck this morning. Looks like a Christmas duck

Sailing into Nassau this morning, with other ships on the horizon.

Day 8 compass for the changed itinerary cruisecompassDay8.pdf

Went to “Flight -Dare to Dream” show last night. It was one of the better shows we have seen this cruise. I especially liked the ending with the plane. IMG_0072.mp4

Tonight was a Taste of the UK menu, and it was another disappointing night, food wise. I ordered the fish and chips, and these things they served were nothing like I expected. Susan, and one of our table mates had roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. They both said the meat was tough and chewy, and the pudding was bad. So Royal must figure people will be far enough into their drink package by this point in the week, to not notice how the food has gotten progressively worse.

Those were pretty tasty. We got them at Bolero’s. Went there for a Latin dance class.

Finding Daryl is almost like trying to find one of those ducks.

There is an elf party going on, on the Christmas tree in the Promenade

Keeping a good pace Mudslide and kraken colada a couple hurricanes

We just finished playing Michael Jackson name that tune. Daryl’s Crew had 13/15. Not good enough for the win, but we had a couple fans on our team.

Great job on the weight loss. I thought I did good with a 34 pound loss. I know I have put on a couple this cruise.

Day 7 cruise compass that includes the itinerary change. Don’t be fooled by it saying day 6 at the top. They appended day 7 to yesterdays cruisecompassDay7.pdf

By the way @Dan83 , if you had horrible internet yesterday like we did, stop by the internet desk and they will credit your account for a day. We did that.

Nope, they call them Maine lobsters

He was down getting ready for the parade

That is where they grow small ones

On the track this morning. Bags are still out, and we have small swells IMG_0026.mp4
