shoptom Posted November 23, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2021 This was my first cruise back after the shutdown so I'll try to answer any questions you might have and add a story if I have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gg255210 Posted November 23, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 23, 2021 That is awesome, hope you had a great time. What did you do in Nassau? We are going there in Jan on Harmony and trying to decide. Would really probably just like a beach and or resort, but not necessarily Atlantis as we have been there many times. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just walked around Nassau. The street hustlers were more aggressive than I remember, but returned to normal friendliness if I asked them a random question like for directions. I saw three guys get a taxi to Junkanoo for $15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not hear any announcements about reduced capacity, but the shows were not crowded at all. Plus they accepted my RoyalUp bid of $50 to move from interior to balcony so I suspect it was not full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went in the ocean for three hours. It was colder than normal with a heavy current, but I looked at the little tropical fish and had a great time practically undisturbed.

Nassau looked to have nearly all businesses in full swing including heavy construction building a new terminal. We had 4 ships in port on a Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnber Posted December 6, 2021 #15 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I also just got off Freedom this morning! Totally awesome 3 night cruise. Playmakers was busy on Sunday for football, and they were pretty accommodating in changing channels for televisions so that everyone could see 'their' game. There were 1900 passengers aboard this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playmakers is the sports bar located right next to the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite needing to walk through there to get to shows and having the hottest server, the place barely looked to have enough customers to even stay open.

Jabra Posted December 7, 2021 #20 Share Posted December 7, 2021 By chance do you recall showtimes for the ice show and main theater ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feature show times seemed to change each day from 7-8pm. I don't know if that was port versus sea day related, but I did have to pay attention. Everything required booking through the app and unvaccinated parties were separated to the balcony or one side. There was one ice skating open session for passengers.

lynnber Posted December 11, 2021 #22 Share Posted December 11, 2021 The ice show was shown twice on the third night. Even though it said reservations required, you could just walk right on. We went to the 7 PM show - I think there was another at 8:15 or 8:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
