We spent the day at Fort Zachary Taylor. We walked there, which took about 20 minutes. The weather was cool and perfect, otherwise, we wouldn't have walked. We loved it here. Our kids (ages 10 - 16) spent most of their time playing on the beach and snorkeling from the beach. Some of the adults did the tour of the fort at 2:00 (free tours at 12 and 2). The tour guide was excellent! I recommend this for adults and kids interested in history. Great info! There is a small cafe which had a long line. If you eat early, you should be fine with the line. Otherwise, bring a lunch. We also sent to the Aquarium. It is very small but very interesting if you can go at the time of a tour (11:00, 1:00, 3:00 but double check). Tour was excellent! They feed the sharks, fish, turtles and sting rays at each "pool". Kids can touch things in the "touch pool". It is $5 for kids under 12 and $12 for adults. We felt it was worth it. Our kids loved it. 


Key West

This was our first time here. We had a tour booked with Pat and Diane's Snorkeling, which left from Port Lucaya. They have a large boat with a rock climbing wall and slide into the ocean. We had a large group of us that did this together, which made it more fun. I would have rated this a 5 but I felt like the it was too choppy, maybe even on the border of being too choppy to take a tour out. The weather was beautiful, full sun but the boat was really rocking and you had to where a life jacket because of the choppy water. We did see a lot of fish. Hint: Eat before or after this tour. They only had hamburger and hot dogs which were $5 each (and a few snacks of candy and chips)! They were okay, just frozen "Sam's type" patties with one person cooking on the grill for about 80 people on the boat! We booked ahead of time because we had a large group but this is a tour that I would maybe suggest you wait and see what the weather is like first. I wouldn't go out again if it were that choppy. Overall, our group had a great time and the kids loved it too. Afterward, we spent time of the beach at Port Lucaya. Beautiful, blue water! The beach is free so there is no need to get a pass to the resorts there unless you want to use the pool. You can rent jet skis and para sail from the beach. 


Freeport

We did Atlantis since this was our first time here. We had a large group of kids ages 10 - 16 and adults. My kids all thought it was one of the best places we have ever been. I liked it too but not like the kids. The Current is the best "river/waterslide ride" in our opinion. Don't miss it! It takes about 45 min. to get through it. The food is very expensive at most places but we did find a combo meal for $8 at Shark Bites and you can refill your drink all day. It was a large meal with a lot of fries and about 10 nuggets (other option too). We spent time on the beach there and loved it. The place is beautiful. We booked through Comfort Suites and did save money. It was very easy to do. Negatives about Atlantis: It is very spread out. We have 5 kids ages 10 - 16 and it was hard to check in with the 3 older ones. You need to have a plan and meeting place for groups or families that will separate. You need to study the map and mark out what you want to see and do. HINT: Go as early as possible. We left at 8:00, arrived at Comfort Suites by 8:30, got checked it and were at the Dig/Aquarium for 9:00, right when it opened. We did the Dig for 45 minutes. We got to the water park section at 9:45 and got great chairs all together at the pool area (and it was Spring Break week) and the kids were in line for the popular slide by 9:50. The slides opened at 10:00. 


Nassau

Cabin 1410 - Interior Cabin, lowest deck, aft.  It was nice and quiet but you did hear the engine when entering a port and docking.  Very small in regards to having a place to put all of your things.

The food was good, better than our last cruise on the Triumph this past summer of 2010.We had great service and good food.
