When I left off with my Disney Princess recap, we were on board the Disney Dream and day 1 was complete! Today, I bring you Day 2 and our visit to Nassau!
Speaking of Disney Cruise Line, 2016’s itineraries were released yesterday! I’m excited to see that the Magic is returning to NYC! If you’re at all interested in the NY to Canada cruise, book it! We had a ton of fun! If you’re on the fence and interested in reading a recap, check out mine here (scroll down the page a little and you’ll see the NY/Canada section).
Back to our Disney Dream cruise and Day 2…..
Our ship arrived in Nassau bright and early. It was fun to watch them dock!
Ready for a snorkeling adventure!
Our Nassau ship mate happened to be the Norwegian Pearl! We were on the Pearl when we visited Alaska several years ago.
Last time we were in Nassau, we did the same snorkeling excursion and really enjoyed it. I’m just being honest – we did not enjoy the rest of Nassau, so we decided to go snorkeling this time, then head back to the ship to try out the AquaDuck (since we were already wet from the excursion).
I’m getting ahead of myself, though….
One difference I felt with this snorkeling excursion was the amount of people on the catamaran. We also had another ship full of people on board with us and boy was it crowded!
It didn’t stop us from having fun, though!
This is what our catamaran looked like…
The water was gorgeous! We snorkeled for about an hour before heading back to the ship. I did enjoy this excursion but I don’t know if I would book it again for a third time.
We were all given punch and chips on the way back.
Hello and goodbye Nassau! Back to the ship we go!
The first stop once back on board the Dream was our room – I wanted to drop off my bag before going up top to the AquaDuck.
Lucky for us, the line was only about 15-20 minutes long (yay)!We had so much fun the first time, we decided to enjoy a second round! :)
After getting cleaned up and eating lunch, we made our way to the Buena Vista Theater for the runDisney Castaway Challenge panel. If you’re interested in reading about my Castaway Challenge adventures, check here and here.
Before dinner, we said goodbye to Nassau as the ship pulled out of port. For a minute there, I almost forgot we were docked in a port at all!
Dinner that evening was dress-up night and our rotation had us at the Royal Palace (I thought that was very fitting)!
Belle!
Dinner was delicious as always.
Despite having a REALLY early morning the next day for the Castaway Cay 5K, we still watched “Match Your Mate” in the adult club. It was hilarious as always. We were shocked to feel the ship docking at Castaway Cay while we were still in the adult area – it was only 11:30 p.m.!
Before long, we said goodnight because we had a super early day the next morning!
Stay tuned for our day at Castaway Cay!
Have you been to Nassau? What do you like to do there? Ever taken a fun excursion I should know about?
