Port Canaveral- 
We got off the ship right before 8 am. There were excursion buses, taxies, and 1 information person when you left the port terminal. We were going to try to do Kennedy Space Center on our own. Too bad it was a $50 ride pp/per way plus the $48 admission pp. If you plan on going here, book it through Carnival, it's worth the price. So, instead we took a cab $5 pp (we weren't charged on the way back) to Cocoa Beach. My recommendation here is don't buy anything through Ron Jon's there are 10 other surf shops in a two block radius with the same merchandise for ' the cost. We had lunch at the Shark Pit $11.95 for a pizza and a picture of beer (they feed the sharks while we were eating, very cool). We forgot our Carnival towels so we rented $5 pp beach chairs at one of the shops right by the beach. It was mostly overcast with sporadic rain and win. I found it funny that I was sitting on a beach in January wrapped up in a hoodie. On the ride back the cab driver pulled over so we could see and alligator sitting on a rock at the pond by the pier. Arrived back at the ship at 5ish, showered and headed down to dinner. Only had to wait about ten minutes to get through security to get back on the ship.

Nassau-
We walked from the port down to the bridge and over to Paradise Island. It was a really nice walk (about 2 miles) and a beautiful sight once you got to the top of the bridge. We went to the ferry terminal (go to the end of the bridge and take a right). We took a 2 pm catamaran ride (sailed most of the way) to rose island reef and snorkeled for an hour (or they would drop you off at the beach) ($70 pp)(Flying J's). It included a soda, rum punch, and bag of chips. These folks were WONDERFUL; I would recommend them to anyone. Snorkeling was an experience, the water was warm, crystal clear and beautiful. Got back to the dock around 5:30 pm and then took the ferry back to the port terminal. As a side note, nothing is free here; if you take the ferry ($4) expect to tip the guide. When you get off the boat people will offer you necklaces for "free" and then follow you saying that "nice ladies" give them five dollars a necklace. It was a small young boy and I felt bad so I gave him a five for two necklaces and he about grabbed my wallet out of my bag. Make sure you divide your money amongst everyone you are with incase something happens. Not saying it will but just to be safe. We went back to the ship after that because I didn't feel comfortable walking around there at night time. I would have liked to go to Senior Frogs, but didn't feel comfortable wandering around much longer. Actually, I feel safer walking around NYC at night. Plenty of people were wandering around and as far as I know no incidences were reported.

Freeport-
	We rented a scooter from a place right in port ($55) plus gas and went to a beach (Taino Beach). My DH and I are both licensed motorcycle drivers so we got our fix for a while, it was pretty interesting driving on the wrong side of the road. It was $5 per person and it included chairs, paddle boats, kayaks, bathrooms, and changing area. Jet skies were also offered for $70 per Â½ hour. There were several people there offering hair braiding and jewelry. After you said no, they didn't bother you again. I did find a really nice bracelet, they were asking $7, I offered $5 and it was accepted. We tried some Kaliak and Sands Beer both were tasty ($4 each). We left and went back to port to return our scooter at Noon and while in port I had a Pina Colata in a coconut w/rum ($7). Then we got back on the ship and relaxed on our balcony for sail away. I did go up top to see the pilot get off the ship. Very interesting to see!

Awesome View, Two Closets (for hanging clothes, including about ten hangers in each), a third closet for folded clothes. Three drawers in vanity. Another cupboard by the bed. And storage in the night stands. Bed is a little on the hard side, moderate vibration when you sit/lay down but I thought it was soothing. Plenty of water pressure and hot water. Several shelves on bathroom mirror for amenities, bathroom is small-bring an air freshener-gel cone (I'll let you figure out why). Bring a tube of round lip gloss ($0.99 wet n' wild) to stick in track on balcony door so you can hear the ocean at night. On balcony, small table, chaise lounge chair (that also sits up), and a regular chair. Storage under bed for suitcases.

No one directing hundreds of people getting on the ship at one time (but 30 wait staff offering you drinks) and then you get the handful of stupid people that stop right inside the door to take a picture of themselves.Room: 
If you can spare a little extra, upgrade to a balcony, two and a half days at sea can be a little much.
