The Bahamas Express leaving port. Might do that one some other day :)

 

 

We just sat there and enjoy the wonderful weather that we had that day. It was truly a great day, we were feeling blessed that everything worked out for us.

 

Soon enough the Pilot arrived.

I forgot to mention that there was one little detail that was less than ideal. Unfortunately, I had a big test the next day, so while I did get to go on the day cruise. That did mean that I had to try and squeeze as much study time as possible. I figured the best time was while we were sailing, because once we got to the island I expected a busy day. No worries, I Aced that test :D

 

 

Soon enough we were on our way. I will say that this company is always on time! It was truly an incredible thing.

Early fishing.

As soon as we cleared the canal it was full throttle!

 

 

 

It was a busy day in the water.

It wasn’t soon enough until the ship started rocking and rolling. This sailing had the most movement that we have experienced. I pretty much took all the medicine we had x2 to avoid getting nauseous. My mom took it a bit too late and she ended up getting sick. I also heard some people complaining that their crossings had never been this rocky. While I did enjoy it, I saw myself almost getting sick. Good thing I came prepared.

 

 

While I studied my mom went for a tour of the ship. The idea was to not leave the table alone.

 

 

Once she came back, I noticed that she was not feeling her best. She sat and rested while I went around and check out the ship. I think most of the movement was due to the smaller size of the ship, well that paired up with the large swells.

 

 

Plenty of seating available.

They had some sort of contest going on.

 

 

 

 

Everyone was having a great time!

 

 

 

[gambee]

 

They had some fruit carving demonstration going on.

 

 

 

 

They also have a mobile bar, nice little system.

I think this area is my second favorite part of the ship. You can enjoy the sun and the noise of the waves breaking on the bow.

Then I went two decks down to the main deck.

Here is the sit down restaurant.

I really dislike the numbers on the tables.

 

 

 

 

And the main Lobby.

I rejoined mom, the ship was still moving consistently. We considered getting a few drinks, but thought that it would be a bad idea.

 

 

I sat and studied a little more, and soon I noticed some people getting up. Little did I know that we were already there. The trip is really fast!

 

 

 

The crew getting ready to dock.

We decided to head down and get in line to get off the ship. The line is in the casino and goes around it. I highly recommend you’re in the first group of people to get off the ship. This is mainly so that you can rent a golf cart. The golf cart is the key to making the most of your day in Bimini!

 

On the way to the down to the casino

We were definitely not the first, but still enough to be in the first group. The funny thing is that until then I thought that we had to take a tender. Tenders together with muster are my least favorite part of a cruise. I cannot tell you how happy I was to find out that they had built a dock. I was like a kid in a candy store!

 

 

 

Clearance took only a few minutes, like I said Bimini SuperFast really lives up to the name!

We boarded the first tram and we were soon on our way.

 

 

[gambee]

 

 

There you can see that they are filling in the dock, maybe to build immigration or a mini mall. Like I said, they really are investing a ton of money on the island. They are actually even expanding the dock to an even larger dock. I could be wrong here, but to me it seems like they want to dock larger ships. Maybe even rent it out to other cruise lines. I will tell you one thing, I would love to stop in Bimini rather than Nassau! By like million times!!!! I really hope I am correct in that assumption!

It was really windy that day.

 

 

 

The resort is scattered on 750 acres. I was really confused at first, mainly because I was expecting to see one very large building. But the way the resort works, is that it's spread out in different sectors. That’s why it is crucial that you rent a golf cart. If not you’re tied to their tram system, which is not bad, but it does not have the freedom that the golf cart provides.

 

When we boarded the tram I had no clue where I was going, I simply joined the masses and followed them. There were two options in the dock, but I mainly went where everyone went to.

 

 

One thing I have to say is that Bimini reminds me of Bermuda. I told that to my mom, and she agreed. I say this because of the color of the house, and the color of the ocean.

 

 

 

 

[gambee]

There are a lot of private vacation homes here.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the casino, I get a clear picture later on.

Like I said, it’s still a work in progress. Oh, lol, I almost forgot. My mom dropped her hat on that puddle while on the golf cart. We got it back and she cleaned it pretty well.
