Bahamas Cruise Vacation

First I must appologize to all the customers I had to put on hold while I was on vacation. As a thank you for your patience, I am going to blog all about it and share lots of photos with you.

I went on a cruise with my hubby to the Bahamas on the Carnival Sensation.

There were ups and downs of the trip- I'm only going to be highlighting the UPs.

Let's start out with the cruise ship. Don't be jealous!

This is what you see when you first enter the ship- a large atrium of entertainment and shops.

This is what we did most of the time on the ship. Actually, we mostly played roulette- my favorite! We just about broke even for the trip after Dave won $300 in one day on the wheel.

This is the pool deck with a slide. Yes, I did go down the slide.

Ah, and our towl animal left in our room by our man maid.

We went mini golfing- but it was roasting out, so I didn't do very well- and the ship was rocking and messed up my golf swing ;)

Our fist stop was at Freeport in the Bahamas. Not many highlights- just conch shells and these photos. I'm a sucker for crystal clear water.

This is a composite that photoshop pieced together from about 5 photos I took of the shoreline.The 3 photos above are from that same shoreline. Breath taking.I brough a conch shell home for AJ- he LOVES it. Took it in for show and tell today.

This shore is on the bay side of the island. Not as pretty as the beach. This shore is made of solid shells. I've never seen anything quite like it.

Next stop: Nassau in the Bahamas. We took a taxi to the Atlantis resort.

That's right, this place was REDICULOUS! The fountains, the waterfalls, the waterslides, the swimming lagoons, the beaches... it was all very grand dios. And yes, the inside was just as impressive.

You could rent snorkle equipment or paddle boats in the lagoons.

There were jet skiis and parasails available to rent on the beach.

The last photo is of the shark tank. I peiced together 2 photos I took of a shark passing by. The most awesome part is that two of the waterslides exit through a clear glass tunnel that passes through the shark tank!!

If I were ever to go to the Bahamas again, I would say ditch the cruise (unless you're a first timer). There just isn't much to do when it's super hot out and there is only so much of the casino that you can afford. I would go straight to Nassau and stay at the lovely Atlantis resort... for a month ;)
