I upgraded when prices dropped (for $10 more than an inside) to Aqua Class cabin 1525 port forward deck 11 under the Persian Gardens. A very quiet location and cabin. The newly revolutionized cabin was lovely. Very comfortable mattress and soft pillows. Still has the rain shower removable head and jets. Nice sized balcony with great views forward and aft. Bed near balcony. 

I went to the Persian Gardens once for about 10 minutes to lie on one of the heated tile loungers. It was ok... the guy next to me fell asleep and was snoring. Also sat in the deck 11 Relaxation Lounge for about 10 minutes. It's a nice view but the outside one on deck 12 in front of the gym is better and not behind unclean glass. 

I asked not to get the nibbles the full day as I was out with two excursions. They left a covered container anyway which included scallop ceviche... had a very unpleasant odor for a while after I got that out of the cabin. 

I liked the smallness of Blu for the dinner and breakfast I ate there. Staff was attentive. Food fine.

16 passengers and 2 crew on a 50 foot sailboat. Crew was great especially 2nd mate Tyler. Of 4 ladies who wanted size 7/8 fins they only had 1 set that small. Very scant supply of snorkel equipment. I was happy I'd brought my own mask/snorkel... have to admit I lucked out as first getting equipment to get those fins. Fish/coral ok if you haven't snorkeled much. Not as good as two locations for private excursion in the morning. Saw a half dozen huge rainbow parrot fish and a large purple sea cucumber. Tyler was giving out fish food. I don't approve of feeding the fish.
Included lunch had sandwiches slathered with mustard which I don't like so no sandwich for me. Also had pesto pasta salad, tortilla chips and a TBLS of guacamole, some grapes, two frosted brownie bites, some cheese/olives. 
Drinks were included. Margaritas were offered but then no mix on board. They found a bottle of inexpensive champagne which quickly disappeared. I had a watery rum punch and passed on a second. 
Motored out to reef and on way back put up main sail and the small storm jib for a few minutes. We were unlucky to have wind and rain before and after snorkeling and many folk were cold, huddled in their beach towels. 
A lovely mother/daughter pair from North Carolina were seated next to me up top front before sailing and they greatly added to my enjoyment of the excursion. At one point with the rain pounding down only the daughter and I were left above deck with the captain. The others were all down below. 
I booked as only afternoon excursion offered and I was hoping for more snorkel time. I got that. Price dropped from $105 to $99 to $84.15 so I kept canceling and rebooking.

Great use of extra OBC and it was nice not being rushed in the morning and enjoying some extra warmth and sunshine before flying home to ice covered Baltimore

We met at the Passport Bar until all the other passengers except B2B were off then through customs and immigrations, left our bags in a secure monitored area, and back onto the boat by 10:30.In Nassau I had a morning snorkel excursion with Blue Hole Watersports which was fantastic with 2 stops - first with tons of fish and second with lovely coral.
