Bimini, Bahamas

Didn't do an excursion. Nothing to do. No golf carts available. Just got back on the ship and enjoyed the pool and water slide.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5

Did an excursion through Cruise Fever with Mike to the Lucayan Park and Beach. It was the best experience for a reasonable amount of money. Go off the beaten path and be amazed at the beauty of the island.

Chaotic due to an incident on the boat. They fed us tho and kept everyone safe.
