We were going to take a kayak/snorkel tour, but we found out, that in February the water is quite cool. 

Instead we went shopping at the dock and bought a Bahama photo album ($16.00), 2 Bahama beach towels ($14.00 each) and a conch shell condiment dish (asking $10.00 paid $8 since I had also purchased the 2 towels from the same person)The shell had been cut in half and a spoon had been hand carved from the other half. Great for serving shrimp cocktail sauce.

Headed back to the ship for a late lunch.

Freeport

Had always wanted to do a horse & buggy ride, so we did that first - thinking we would get a feel for the city. It was $30.00 for a 25 minute ride. Unfortunately, not worth it, as the traffic was so loud - we could not hear what the driver was saying. 

  I printed a walking tour of Nassau by J. Brentjes online. It was excellent, as it highlighted all the sites. Loved the Queen's Staircase. Fort Fincastle was not worth the entrance fee.

  Did a quick tour of the new straw market. Sellers were always asking you to stop at their stand, but all the stands had the same merchandise.

  Stopped at the Rum Cake store and purchased a 6 pack for $29.95 for souvenirs. Be forewarned - each cake is about 1-2 very small servings.

  It was very hot so we stopped at a local bar/restaurant and had a draft beer $4.00 each plus tip. Bought a small starfish shell (asking $5, got it for $4) 

  Headed back to the ship for a late lunch.

Room M121

Our interior room layout seemed very spacious with tons of storage

Nice basket of bath supplies on sink.(Toothpaste, aspirin etc)

Suitcases fit under the bed

Loved the "Cruisin'" or "Snoozin'" door signs

POSITIVES

1) Staff was constantly cleaning every surface (I wanted to take them home)
2) Our interior room layout seemed very spacious with tons of storage
3) Very smooth embarkation/disembarkation (we did the self-assist)
4) Great sushi (just wish it had been opened more hours)
5) Loved the Mongolian Wok (Hand selected vegetables & freshly made)
6) Loved having the same terrific wait staff
7) Pizza was always hot and delicious
8) Really loved the Serenity area 


NEGATIVES

1) Unsupervised teens running and talking in the halls very late at night 
2) Food choices were limited in main dining room.5) Lack of use of hand sanitizers (our NCL cruise 2 weeks before this cruise had staff with spray  bottles at each dining room & buffet) With the number of kids on Carnival this should be a top priority!!!
