I decided to combine all three of our port stops into one post for this cruise. We didn't spend much time in the port cities because we were pretty entranced with the ship & enjoyed it when all the passengers were out and about and we could enjoy the amenities to ourselves!
Nassau was my favorite stop in the eastern Caribbean. We ventured out by foot and explored some pretty cool areas right around the ship!
Off the boat and ready to explore! Atlantis Resort is pictured in the background.
Fun date day ahead in the Bahamas with my handsome man :)
The main drag near the ship. Crowded, so it was nice that we had chosen to travel by foot!
This was the Queen's Staircase site. This little paragraph explains what the stairs are probably better than I can -
The Queen's Staircase, commonly referred to as the 66 steps, is a major landmark that is located in the Fort Fincastle Historic Complex in Nassau. It was hewn out of solid limestone rock by slaves between 1793 and 1794 and it is said that it provided a direct route from Fort Fincastle to Nassau City. These steps were later named in honour of Queen Victoria, who reigned in Britain for 64 years from 1837 to 1901.

Great view of all the ships that were docked in Nassau that day!
Our next stop was St. Thomas. We took a taxi to the main shopping area and looked around there & that was basically all we did on that island. It was amazing just to see how blue and beautiful the water was!

Our day out on the town! Time to grab all our souvenirs.
We didn't even get off the boat in St. Maarten! We thoroughly enjoyed the emptiness of the ship and explored everywhere and ate ourselves into a food coma because there were no lines at the buffet... hahah! Here are a few pictures as we cruised away from our last port city -
What a great opportunity we had to explore some of the beauty of the Caribbean <3
