Hello - Dave & I like to cruise, so we decided to do a 4-day on EOS - of course we were to go to Cozumel, which we love, but Nassau was ok also.  We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale the same day as cruise around 11:30 AM and went right to the port.  It was a big crowd and it took about 2 hours to get aboard.  Once there, however, we could go to our room and check it out.  It was in the aft of the boat, which we love, and everything looked clean and ready for us.  Nelson was our room attendant.  He took great care of us for the entire cruise, making sure my champayne was always on ice and making cute towel animals, including a man in my bed one night.  That was FUNNY!  Thursday, our first night, we met up with our tablemates (5 women) and Dave was King of the Roost - I think he enjoyed the banter.  Lisa, Dawn, Debbie, Diane & Dena, I think were their names.  They all worked at the same place and took a girls cruise.  Personally, I would have rather had several couples, but we got on ok.  The show that night was an introduction and was good.  We met up with about 20 people from our roll call and enjoyed meeting them. We saw several of them around the ship and in the CL during the rest of the cruise.  Friday morning we arrive in Nassau and were there from 7AM till 6PM.  We walked around town for an hour or so and Dave took me on a carriage ride, which I love to do, then decided to go to Atlantis for a few hours.  We arrived and found that our favorite restaurant down by the "public" aquarium was no longer there.  DARN!  At the Digs, the lady must have seen I was disappointed, so she let us go through for free (usually $25).  At the end of the Digs, there was a restaurant called Fathoms, which is also now closed.  We walked along the pathway and went into the grounds without anyone stopping us.  I wanted to see how far we could get, so we headed out to the restaurant that looks like a big cupcake called Lagoon Bar.  No problem getting there, so we stopped for lunch and watched the fish and sharks go by.  Afterwards, we went down into the aquarium underneath the bar and went up to the hotel from there.  We hit a few slots and went back to the ship.  Supper that evening was formal, so we dressed to the "nines" and had a lovely dinner.  The show was dancers and singers and it was ok.  We went to bed around midnight.  Saturday was a sea day, and we lazed around on the balcony and I checked out everything I could find.  Between the ice cream  bar, the coffee bar, the solarium and everything else I could find, I kept quite busy that day.  Saturday night Dave & I went to Chops for dinner.  It was really good food.  We both had the filet.  Since we missed both the show and the C&A party that night, we went to bed a little early - around 10:30.  Each morning, we had enjoyed breakfast on the balcony, but on Sunday, we went to the dining room.  We arrive in Key West quite early and got off the ship around 8:30.  Kino Sandal Factory is a fun place to go and get sandals at a great price, so I picked up two pairs to add to my collection.  We checked out several time-share places so we would know which one to trade ours for and arrived back at the ship around 3:00 or so, where we went to the soloriam to get cooled off.  After a while,  we went back to our room and rested.  Dinner that night was fun and we said our good-bys to the girls and then went to the magic show. It was a little lame but we stayed until the end.  Bedtime again. As you can tell, we just like to relax on our cruises.  Disembarkment was easier than getting on.  We sat in the dining room with the other C&A members and waited for our number to come up.  Got our luggage quickly and a cab even faster.  On our way to the airport.  We must have missed the crowd, because it was not even crowded when we arrived.  Home uneventfully.  Ready for the next one in November.....on the Equinox. 

Cabin Review

Junior Suite with Balcony

Cabin JS

8172 - Juinor Suite on the aft of the boat.  Spacious deck with two lounge chairs, two regular chairs and a small table.  Room was adequate for 2 and closet was ok.  For a longer cruise, it may have been a tight fit.  The bathroom was big enough.
