Ship tip
Do it! See all the shows but especially the ice skating show!
This was before Nassau port was redone, we walked around the ships and ate at Senior Frogs. I do love watching the ships coming in and out while in Nassau!
Our first time at Coco Cay and we love it! I loved seeing Chill Island, South Beach, and Oasis Lagoon Pool! We were also docked next to the sister ship Freedom Of The Seas!
