Awesome getaway!

This was one of our first cruises and we had a blast!  The all inclusive was definitely the way to go!  We did splurge on some lattes and special dinners, but they were reasonably prices and worth it.  All the food was great, and the steak we had at the steakhouse was amazing!  I highly recommend going to the restaurants as opposed to the busy buffets. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and there to answer any questions we had.  Unfortunately we had some windy weather so we were unable to go to the private island, and had to stay in Nassau for two days.  It was a bummer, but I know they can't control the weather and it would have been a very bumpy ride.  I do wish they would have let us off the boat at night to experience some nightlife in Nassau.  In fact being let off the boat for just a few hours a day has always been my issue with doing a cruise.  I would definitely not do a cruise to any place I wanted to experience.  But we had fun walking around Nassau and shopping, and spent the second day on the beach!  The pool was great, but it was tough getting two chairs during the busy times. We started off our cruise getting massages, and they were great!  However, at the end we got a very hard pressure sales pitch to buy the products, which I didn't appreciate.  I held strong, but my husband ended up buying a $60 oil he will never use!  Sucker!  I think three days was the perfect amount of time to go.  I think I may have been going stir crazy after that. We reserved a few days to experience Miami which I was grateful for.  Overall it was a very relaxing birthday present!
