Day 3 Docked in Nassau March 15

Pictures are from the port (left) side of the ship (middle image) and then the starboard (west) side of the ship. In the image of the three ships, the two ships to the left are similar in size to the ship we were on. Both belonged to Royal Caribbean (which also owns Celebrity). The ship on the right is the Anthem of the Seas. It is much bigger than our ship and also owned by Royal Caribbean ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Our ship (Carnival Legend) is about 930 feet long, has 12 decks (ten are passenger accessible) and carries about 2200 passengers. ...................................................................................................................... The Anthem of the Seas is about 1040 feet long, has 18 decks (16 passenger accessible) and carries about 4400 passengers. I used the spa while the ship was docked. It was a bit of a disappointment because the temperature of the water wasn't as hot as I wanted it to be and the air jets weren't functioning. However, the weather was pretty good with air temperature in the high 60s. It was also sunny. I didn't get a sunburn but I noticed later that several people did get a burn.

Also Day 5 - Ice sculpture March 17

I was finished with the spa but hung around on deck for the ice scupturing. These two images were taken only about 35 minutes apart. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Somehow this has became a staple of cruising entertainment. The guy who did the sculpture said he 'had to study and practice for two years' before his first paid sculpture performance but he has now been doing it for about 6 years. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ The temperature was back down in the low 70s that day (about 7 degrees below the long term average) and cloudy.

Day Two and Thee- March 13-14

Image
Day two was at sea as we were traveling south toward the Bahamas. The sea was rough - although not as rough as in the image. So we ordered breakfast and supper in our stateroom. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ In addition to the rough seas we got a culinary disappointment. The Carnival Legend had Pepsi but no coke. Another issue was that it was still pretty cold during the day; too cold to use the outdoor spa.

Day 4 March 16 Freeport

Image
The next day we docked at Freeport. There was a big beach party with tug of war and music and a beach party. We stayed on the ship. I used the spa again but since most of the passengers went ashore it wasn't crowded and I was able to use the spa that was covered with a plexiglass top. The temperature was in the low to mid 70s which was below average for this time of the year in Freeport. ---............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... One of the great things about a cruise is how nice everyone is. The crew goes out of their way to help in whatever way they can and all the passengers I met were as nice as I could ever want anyone to be. Self selection or do people just get ...
