My only issue was the amount of flies when the food got there, we had to eat really fast.

This guy was trying to get all the food.

Your pass also includes kayak use. You just have to check it out with the towel guy. Oh, towels are also included.

The food came out quickly, maybe 20 minutes or so. He brought it out for us.

I ordered the lobster for my mom. Which was very good.

And the Mahi mahi for me, it was really fresh!

Since our server was nowhere to be seen, I went to the bar to order some food.

From there we could listen the music on the pool deck of the Valor :eek:

Nice view of the ships.

Mom is right there playing on her ipad.

It is quite a nice beach.

We also bought the internet, I think it was $10. But that lady was so mean, at first she did not wanted to sell it to us. But eventually she did.

Here is the menu, No Conch salad again :(

By the way they are expanding the hotel, it is going to be huge! Actually from the looks of it, it seems like they might take part of junkanoo beach. But I could be wrong.

Service in the hotel was lackluster, but not horrible. The only bad experience we had was during check-in, that lady seriously need an attitude adjustment if she wants to work in hospitality.

And here is the Hilton.

We booked it through resort for a day. http://www.resortforaday.com/

The cost is $60 per person, and they give you $40 as credit to use per person. So in reality it only costs $20 to enter, and then you have 40 to use for drinks and food. The hotel is very nice, and the beach is very clean. Much better than the Hilton we visited in Jamaica.

Just look at that water, too bad this venue does not have water access.

It is about 3 minutes from here.

Look how dirty that road is, and remember that for later in the review :D

Mom felt insecure carrying the bag with all the documentation, so she asked me to carry it for her.

The walk to the Hilton is not too bad, I think maybe around 15 minutes or so.

I love these guys.

May I say how much I hate this area of Nassau, not only does it smell really bad, but you also get bombarded from all angles. It is quite an intense experience!

How cool is that pic?

And the Valor was next to Divina

Something on that glass looked really nasty, I wonder what it was. You guess what I thought it looked like :D

We got off the ship and OMG it was SOOOOOO HOT!!!!

We decided to go back to the room to get ready to get off the ship.

Divina was next to us.

So sad to see that house fall apart. Mom said she saw someone walk inside. I think that is even a Helipad on top of the house.

The water is so blue!

That day we had plans to go to the British Colonial Hilton. That's it in the picture.

I was talking to a fellow CC member and he something that made me think. He said, that NCL is trying to become a premium line instead of a mass market one, but that's very hard to do when you have these ships with over 5k people in them. He was also having a great time, and had nothing but good things to say about his vacation. Although he did have one issue with people from cruise sales approach him while he was dining at Bistro.

He was also telling me how he missed the old days of cruising, and how now everything is all technology orientated. Ironically, that is exactly what I enjoy about cruising. He did say one thing that I would have loved to do, they used to fly kites on the back of the ship. I can only imagine bringing my power kite, and flying overboard :D

He also told me that the Concordia sinking has cost Costa over 2 billion dollars since the incident, and that is why he thinks the Costa line product has decreased in the past years. Remember, he had over 80 cruises under his belt, so he was quite knowledgeable.

At one point two laddies came to us offering pastries and singing while at it. I think I also saw them in the buffet that morning.

Mom taking pictures as we approached Nassau.

Vibe was really empty that morning as we approached Nassau.

A Carnival ship in the distance was following us.

We were following Divina into Nassau.

These are on our way to Vibe.

After that I went to H2O to get some aft pictures.

I love that little umbrella. We actually have a few of those at home.
