The Bahamas

For spring break me and three other teachers went on a cruise to the Bahamas. We were so looking forward to this and we needed it soooooo bad! We booked this way back in October, so it felt like it was never going to get here, but it did and it was the BEST week ever! It was my first cruise and I loved everything about it. I'm hooked on cruising and can't wait to go on another one. Our cruise was 5 days 4 nights, we woke up at a different island every morning and we cruised at night. We ate, slept, laid out on the beach, ate, danced and ate some more! And there's tons of pictures but I wanted to share them all......

Monday-Day 1

Waiting on the deck of our ship, the Norwegian Sky, to depart out of Port of Miami.

And here's our teeeeeeny stateroom. And I'm serious about teeny. I think my closet was bigger than our room! I got the top bunk :) we didn't spend much time there so it was okay.

After dinner we walked around the promenade deck while we were cruising. It was beautiful and we got some great pictures of the sunset.

Tuesday-Day 2

We woke up in Freeport Harbor, in the Grand Bahamas Island. The best part of this cruise was the food. We got to eat breakfast on the deck, in the sunshine. It was perfect and one of my favorite parts of the cruise. This is also our first day, before we got any sun so don't judge the whiteness.... The four of us in front of our cute ship after getting off in Freeport.
We rode a shuttle to a beach called Paradise Cove and went snorkeling. This was where we rented our snorkel gear. Snorkeling was amazing and we saw 4 stingrays!!!!!
Right when we got off our ship there were tons of really cute shops and we had a fun time walking around them.

Wednesday-Day 3

We woke up at the island of Nassau. So there's a huge resort on the island called Atlantis. We went to the Aquarium there and saw tons of cool fish and sharks.

After we went to the Aquarium we went to Cabbage beach. We rode on a banana boat and then just laid out. The weather was perfect the entire time and we got so sunburned!

On the way back to our ship they had this fun sign. There were about 4 other cruise ships that also stopped in Nassau, you can see one of them behind us.

Thursday-Day 4 Our last day we woke up in Stirrup Cay. This beach was beautiful!!!! Stirrup Cay is a private beach, owned by Norwegian Cruise Line. There were three Norwegian cruise ships that anchored there, but we were all at different parts of the island. The water was so clear and the sand on the beach was so white and clean. There were tons of lounge chairs set up for us so we just relaxed, read, soaked up sun all day and cooled off in the perfect water.

They also set up a buffet for us on the beach. Sooooo perfect!

I'm in heaven!!!!
Our last night we had our formal dinner. We got all dressed up and at at the Palace Restaurant, which was our favorite place to eat for dinner.
Our stateroom-0115
This is Frank, he was our steward. He made our beds each morning, turned them down for us at night, folded animals out of our towels, and always had a smile on his face.
We ordered room service almost every night and it was great! Getting cookies and ice cream delivered to your room at 2 in the morning was the best! Now I understand why they say you gain a pound a day on a cuise!

Our last night at karaoke. They loved us!!!

Friday-Day 5

Eating our last breakfast on the ship, back in Miami. So sad to leave :(
