Day 1, Miami (embarkation): We woke and left very early on friday morning and prepared for are three hour drive to Miami! The drive was smooth and arrived at the port at approximately 10:30. I highly recommend getting there as early as we did. We checked our bags went through all the hustle and bustle and did it all in 5 minutes. There was no lines! GET THERE EARLY! Once we went through everything, we relaxed in the holding room for no more than 10 minutes and enjoyed complimentary orange juice! Boarding started at 11:30 and we were one of the first people on the ship. When you get there as early as we did (oh the we is me and my close family) you feel like you have an extra day onboard. We ate lunch, explored, and just relaxed until the muster drill. After the drill we went to the great outdoor cafe and ate dinner. Throughout the cruise the food was not very impressive, usually thats NCL's thing but not this time. Also, the staff just wasn't being friendly, they were all lazy (the reason being this was there last cruise, The sky is going into dry dock for a two week period.) After dinner i went to the teen room... Yes i am 15, but my info can still be valid =]. For only 6 kids in the teen room it turned out being a great time, Helen (the teen staff member) was fun and kept the activities going. I recommend for the teens to go to the room (you are not to cool for it!) it makes it so much easier to meet people. So after night i just relaxed watch ESPN in the longboard bar (one of my favorite places onboard) and relaxed. Tomorrow, Nassau.

Day 2, Nassau: I woke up around 5:45 the next morning and literally was the only person up onboard. It was amazing, i had the whole boat to myself! I walked around drank some O.J and relaxed until breakfast opened an hour later. Again the breakfast was not very good, cold and stale. After breakfast i shot some hoops, walked around and enjoyed being on a huge boat. Once the rest of my family woke we went down to deck three and got off the ship. Once off we walked to the Atlantis (yes walked!) and enjoyed it for a short while. After we walked back, it was just like any other typical Nassau day! Once onboard i ate lunch and dinner did the different activities onboard. The cruise director (Matt Baker) is one of the best i have ever had (and this was my tenth cruise! He was energetic, and kept all the activates going. On this night i went to a show, it was sort of like a country/ pop/ rock show with dancing and singing. I was not to disappointed, it was better than most shows. That night i went swimming and chilled in the hot tub. Another good day. Tomorrow,Great Stirrup Cay.

Day 3, Great Stirrup Cay: I woke up around 7:00 and at breakfast and watched as we pulled into the island, the waves were very choppy! After breakfast i went to the longboard and relaxed, watched ESPN, and ate some waffles. After the morning went bye, my family and I took the tender to the island. Yu should have been on this tender it was like a ride a Disney. The waves were crazy! Once we got onto the island we did some walking on the large coral rock structure,and also walked to the lighthouse which was pretty cool. We chilled at the beach, then boarded the disney world ride again! Once back onboard. I went to the teen room and did the different activities. I went to the comedy magic show and laughed my head off the guy was hysterical (I can't remember his name) it was a great way to end my night.. At about midnight i said my goodbyes to everyone who i became friends with and went to bed...
