Day 5 March 17 Grand Bahama

We docked in the Grand Bahama island. Another ship that docked there was the Margaritaville. It is quite a bit smaller than the Carnival Legend carrying only about 650 passengers and having only 10 decks. It currently does three day cruises out of Palm Beach Florida. And, yes, they have a Jimmy Buffett quote on their website,............................................................................................................... " To me, the only thing better than being on a beach by the ocean, is to be on the ocean. Now you can follow in our wake..." Again I used the spa but this time the people who went ashore came back earlier and the spa got too crowded to use by about 2pm.

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 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 ...
