Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 21, 2019 Author #251 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Had a fun evening for Chic night. Last night was Lobster night. We closed Luminae again then stopped by Casino for Marcia to burn off some OBC. Didn’t tsk long and she left wit $50 cash out of $300 non-refundable. Amazingly the casino has been packed. You can hardly walk through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAV Posted April 21, 2019 #253 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Enjoying your terrific blog, as usual. Love Infinity! A great idea to sail for 5 days to get all settled in for the Transatlantic. Good luck on your first eastbound! We’ve sailed an equal number in both directions. Each direction has their pluses and minuses. And in 2016 we sailed the westbound Transpacific, so next week will sail the eastbound to “even everything out”! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after 30 years together I think I’ll keep Iain around for another 30. “And they said it would not last,” our daughters are going on their 20th.. I wish you 30 more in good health. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoying the short cruise but so glad we are not getting off the ship tomorrow. Everyone is starting their packing and settling their accounts. Nassau has been such a treat. Perfect mid-70's and very low humidity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many went to the beach or to Atlantis (and buy a day pass). We have been to Nassau so many times we originally didn't plan on getting off the ship but ended up walking around town. The weather has just been perfect. On of the favorite things we did in Nassau was "Swim with the Dolphine's" There are limited spaces available and suggest booking early directly with the owners. The have both the Swimming, where you get in wet suites and are in the water with the Dolphin's and even body surf with two dolphin's propelling you, they have the more common visit which is dolphin encounter where you just sit on the edge and can interact with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you to get on them? Climb up from the bottom?? I guess there thinking is with more loungers there will be less issues with chair hogs. Really need the small tables !!

Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 21, 2019 Author #265 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) It's 6:30 pm and we just departed Nassau. They had a small sail away party for suite passengers and Zenith's on the Heliport. Perfect weather and a beautiful departure. We just packed up our room, as we have to change rooms on turn around day. Edited April 21, 2019 by Jim_Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is handling Sky Suites on deck 6 starboard. The one we have is just so good. We feel really pampered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
