Very busy port. The beach that we visited was crowded and NOT PG rated. Did not expect $40 to use two chairs and an umbrella.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

Had to take a bus to the beach and then pay admission to the water park and then also pay for two chairs and an umbrella. Beach/water park was 1/2 hour ride. Very crowded.

I was on this same sailing. I agree that last sea day was rainy and the ship was rocking but hope you guys feel better soon. Luckily we are not sick.
