Atlantis in Bahamas

Nassau is one of the itineraries when we cruise to Bahamas via Norwegian Sky, a Freestyle Cruising of NCL. I took the photo below while hubby and I were at the Marina Village in Atlantis. We already visited the shopping area of Atlantis and during this time, we just exploring the business establishments located at the Marina.

After we explore some areas inside the Atlantis and at the Marina, we decided to go back to the Port of Nassau via ferry boat. You should try it because it is fun. The ride is amazing, the fare is only $3/person and the scenic view is in 360 degrees gorgeous.

I took the photo above while we were on the ferry boat ride. It was a beautiful day and the water is so calm and so blue. It was a short ferry ride back to the Port of Nassau.

NCL's Norwegian Sky Cruise Ship

I took a picture of Norwegian Sky Cruise ship when hubby and I routed AIA in Miami last week. We went to a 4-day cruise to Bahamas last September and we are planning to have another cruise escapade soon. There is so much to explore in Bahamas and we only visited three islands Freeport, Great Stirrup and Nassau.

Today, I saw a great deal offer for a last minute cruising for $169/person for 4 days. The port of call is Miami and whoaaa, that's really affordable huh? Well, on our next cruise, we would love to have Port Canaveral as our port of call. Just 20 minutes away from our home which is very convenient.

Room in Norwegian Sky Cruise Ship

I saw this photo while browsing the folders of my photo album and thought of sharing you the room that we had when we cruise to Bahamas on board the Norwegian Sky. It was tiny but for me, it was cozy and spacious after all, we only use the room to rest and sleep for the night. Most of the waking hours were spent exploring the Bahamas or wandering the amenities in the ship.The room was cute with a desk on the left which served as an office area. The room has a good size closet, fridge, microwave, iron and ironboard, safety deposit box and the bathroom is located on the right. It was a decent space and has a vanity. Our room is very comfortable. Next time, we will try a balcony room.

Freeport Harbour Grand Bahama Island

This picture was taken in October of last year when we went for a Bahamas Cruising. This is in Freeport Harbour in Grand Bahama Island, the first of the 3 islands that we visited. Freeport is a city and has grown to become the second most populous city in the Bahamas. When we arrived the harbour, we went to the terminal to find a transportation to Treasure Bay Casino and Port Lucaya Marketplace. As a tourist, there is nothing to worry about paying too much fare because the rate is printed on the brochure and the information board. Anyway, the fare on the van is $5 per person each way. From the harbour, 16 of us rode in the van and dropped us all in the casino. Hubby and I played in the slot machines in the casino and went to the marketplace as well as explore the Port Lucaya Marina. We convene in the casino lobby after 5 hours then, head back to the harbour to our cruise ship. It was fun!

Cruising to Bahamas at Affordable Price

Cruising is an expensive vacation plan and I thought it was; until I discovered that one can enjoy few days of cruising to Bahamas in less than $500. I was browsing my emails last September and one offer caught my attention. It was 4-days trip to Bahamas heading to Freeport Grand Bahama Island, Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau for less than $250 per person. Isn't it great?My husband and I had a blast on the beach, exploring their International Market, and we had the best time ever especially the activities on board. The moment we stepped on the gang way, the happy crew welcomes the guests with dances, music and drinks. We were being directed towards the main restaurant that has impressive views of the sea and the buffet has endless display of food and desserts.

From traditional fine dining to endless buffet with custom-order action stations are all included in the cruise fare. Food is endless and since we had a freestyle dining, we can dine to any restaurant we want in any given time with no restrictions. Of course, if guest wanted an extra for a gourmet French, exceptional Italian and an upscale steakhouse, fine dining is available and again, it was included in the cruise fare. We were well-fed and well-rested because the room accommodation was fantastic and has everything that we need. Room service is free of charge. Guests can eat the delicious food in their hearts content. That's what we did!

Every hour has activities especially when the ship is sailing to its destination. In the evening, there was always an amazing production show which hubby and I attended. There's singing, dancing, Broadway shows and comedy shows throughout the cruise.

When we arrived Freeport, we took a van which cost $5 a person each way. We went to Port Lucaya Marketplace and take our time enjoying the gorgeous beach. Nassau is the best for me because I went shopping inside Atlantis and we hang out at the Marina. We even take a ferry boat ride for $3 a person. It was affordable isn't it?

Now, check out the image above and I bet, you are blown away with the offer right? Call 1-888-444-6520 and ask for an information about the Bahamas Cruise for two nights.

Internet Connection while on the Cruise

When I booked our cruise to Bahamas, it dawned on me that I can't use the Internet at cheaper price. I worked online so; 4 days of using my USB connect at International rate could be very expensive. But, I brought my USB connect for emergency use. I also have my handy netbook and laptop and decided to turn off my smart phone once we sail away from Miami.We are on board the freestyle Norwegian Sky cruise ship, an NCL company. I inquired about their Internet connection and here's the pricing plan:

Plan 1: 60 minutes, it's $24
Plan 2: 30 minutes, $16.50
Plan 3: Pay as you go for $0.75/minute

It's not bad at all plus, a one time activation fee of $3.95. So, I signed up for plan 1. I used my laptop and there's few location on the ship where WiFi is accessible (Decks 6,7 and 11 only). I used my time wisely like checking my emails and it was a stress free log in. I can log out anytime and save my minutes for my next usage.

Anyway, the above picture is Festival Place at Nassau Port in Bahamas. If you need more time to use the Internet, this area has Wi-Fi and the good news? You can use it for FREE and it's really fast! I have seen so many tourists take advantage of the FREE Wi-Fi connection at Festival Place. You can even use Skype with no problem at all. If you visit other resorts in the area, they have Wi-Fi too and free access for the public. Now, you shouldn't be worry. Enjoy your cruising.
