Ship tip

If you have younger teens, be careful about the ages of ages of the kids there. My kiddo was the youngest one in the group on our trip, and it was tough to have her with older kids.

We did a bit of bathing suit shopping at Coco Beach. Shop around for the best pricing for transportation!

This island was so beautiful, the beaches, the sand, the incredible water. It was phenomenal.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

Nassau was good, but also had a lot of pushy people. The people that we did deal with ended up being great. We did a snorkeling excursion, going out on a catamaran and totally enjoying swimming with the fish! What an incredible group that took us.

@erlulu7 you can prepay tips. Even with this we would give a little extra for service we found to be above and beyond. My wife has a gluten intolerance and the dining halls and specialty restaurants went above and beyond to make sure she had multiple choices.
