Carnival Magic - LIVE - Dec 1-6 - FLL - Nassau, Grand Turk, Amber Cove

[Saint Greg]

I stopped by the cab stand to price check. They said $4 as long as I joined a group. There was a group there ready. I mentioned to the taxi stand guy that I wanted to take the water taxi one way and the regular taxi the other way. He recommended I take the water taxi over and the ground taxi back. He said it’s easier to catch the water taxi over than it is back.

 

I paid the $4 to the boat people and was given a green ticket. I was told to walk down this road, take a left through the gate and then a right down the street.

Wha time is all aboard? I’m curious if your posts are posting in real time or if they are delayed. It’s 5:55 eastern time where I am. It seems rather late for you to just now be heading to Paradise Island.

This is fun to read, great pics Greg. When we were on the Magic a few years ago the wi-fi was awful. Have they improved the speed? Have you taken a speed test. When we were aboard, we could barely download anything. Keep up the great work, following. 

I just did two tests in the dining room. Both came up about 2 up, 2 down.

Greg is on "island time".  I'm thinking it's delayed due to his download lack of speed.

Good pick up, didn't notice the time. It's hard to believe the delay is 6 hours behind, Greg?

that’s it. I’m eating dinner now. All Aboard  was  3:30. We left about 4:30. I’m just trying to keep this in order.

I'm enjoying coming along for the ride.  Thank you for posting your live review!

We’re just waiting on stupid picture uploads.

Across from shark ez is a green stand that says glass bottom boat water shuttle. You can buy the same ticket for the same price there.

 

The shuttle is right behind the the stand. The boat I was on is called snapper2.

I was first on the boat and had to wait until over 20 other people boarded.

 

The floor we were on clearly wasn’t glass. This other guy on the shuttle...Kitts McGee points out he paid for a glass bottom boat. I tell Kitts the glass is probably on the bottom but you can’t see it because it’s under water.

 

I had heard that you have to wait until the shuttle is full before they pull out and that was true.

 

I got on the shuttle at 11:04 and we waited until it was packed to the gills and we continued to wait. Kitts McGee asks where they are going to put additional people. I speculate they may seat people in our laps.

 

We finally pulled out at 11:30. It turns out the shuttle leaves every half hour and it was bad timing arriving at 11:04.

Waiting is becoming your "theme" today isn't it???

Bless your heart...as we say in the south!?!

The shuttle drop off is right by a bridge with vendors underneath it.

[blarko]

How close is that drop off area to Atlantis?

[Saint Greg]

You cross under the bridge and just follow the path. I don’t recommend the water taxi for anyone who doesn’t want to a walk a bit. 
 

 

[Saint Greg]

The ladies under this tent have maps but all you need to do is go right and continue on the path.

Absolutely pathetic. I am embarrassed after watching that game. 

 

SO embarrassing. And disappointing. 

At least my other team won ⚜️⚜️Geaux Saints!
