Day 1
Getting there
March 6, 2022 on the Bahamas ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
We departed Indian Rocks Beach at 8, and after a relatively uneventful 4-1/2 hour drive, arrived at the garage. Shuttled to the ship for easy check-in.

This is a BIG ship. We spent a couple of hours getting settled and trying to figure things out, with lunch at the Mexican El Loco Fresh-.

Sail-away was interesting. We proceeded inland in the channel to an open area, and basically pivoted (yes, I thought of Ross) so we could go out to sea.

Dinner was crabcake and fish/scallops/shrimp for me with Key Lime pie for dessert. W had antipasto, the fish, and his favorite creme brulee.

We were tuckered, so hit the sack.Read more

Day 2
Blustery Day at Coco Cay
March 7, 2022 on the Bahamas ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Coco Cay is a private island owned by Royal Caribbean, located north of Nassau. It has a water park, ziplines, a big tower thing, bars, restaurants, beaches, and all things Caribbean and beachy. Even the braid ladies.

Our plan was to snorkel. We packed up our stuff, schlepped over to the island, and proceeded to find the snorkel station for information. Too bad for us. It was too windy to snorkel.

Wayne went over to a bar area in search of conch chowder (there wasn't any.) I planned to meet him, but didn't see him. I stayed put for over an hour, and then discovered he was 15 feet away from me on the other side of a bunch of bushes. 🤷‍♀️

After lunch, we went to lounge on the beach for awhile before returning to the ship for some iced coffee and snack at Park Cafe.

Dinner appetizer was puff pastry with seafood for me, and escargot for W. We both had the most unusual interpretation of beef stroganoff we'd experienced, featuring peppers, pickles, celery, a slight amount of gravy, served over linguine. (I don't recommend it. Ever.) Dessert was Bananas Foster for me, and Chocolate Mousse cake for W. Both winners.

I ended the night by watching the Aqua 80 show. Wow. It was a compilation of dancing, gymnastics, aerial stuff, high wire, synchronized swimming, high diving, and loud music. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

And so to bed.Read more

Day 2: Coco Cay

Coffee? Where oh where can i find coffee? Help!!
Success.
Off to Coco Cay...
Had a great time. Weather was perfect.
I was surprised the ocean wasn't warmer. It wasn't cold, but it definitely wasn't warm.
I enjoyed the company and the conversation. All we did was sit around in the cabana and the get wet, either in the ocean or the bar pool.Read more

Day 7
Day 3: at sea
November 12, 2019 on the Bahamas ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Getting to bed after midnight is becoming a thing. Guess I will just have to work on catching up on my sleep all day.
Took the tour of the galley. Pretty impressive, but I'm not sure I would have done it for full price, $48. Bibi, our dining section's supervisor, got us in for $33. They crack 30,000 eggs a day! And only 2 people do it!? Each head chef (by floor I believe) has a budget of $80,000 per day, and he will have to explain himself if he exceeds it.
Checked out the gym. I did OK for an old guy. I can still max out the back machine.
Jordan arranged for us all to have formal pictures taken. This tied in with the formal dining night.
Debbie's already looking to book our next cruise, probably Australia & New Zealand.Read more

Leaving CocoCay, Reboarding Ship
June 27, 2022 on the Bahamas ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
We are reboarding the Harmony of the Seas to leave CocoCay. It was a good day.
I went down the massive “biggest water slide in North America, and many more. It was a beautiful island.
