Dateline: Nassau. Cruise Day 2

Saturday, January 4

Well, my secret plan to get woken up with Fruit & Coffee failed miserably; I think that I wrote the wrong room number on the request slip.

I woke up later than I wanted, walked a little on the walking path, and then went to the Buffet for two Bananas and some Coffee.

I met Denise and Patrick at 9:30. Denise wasn't feeling well, so Patrick and I set off on our Nassau Adventure. First Stop: The Dining Room for Breakfast.

My Breakfast was a half Grapefruit, followed by an Egg-White Omelet with Vegetables, no Oil, along with dry Wheat Toast and well-done Home fries. 

The Omelet was so good, I had another without the Toast.

Patrick had a more standard Omelet. He is improving at taking Blog photos. 

We then went on the island, hit the Dunkin Donuts for Coffee and took a City Tour, the highlight of which was me shooting a cannon at a Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship.

After the tour, Patrick and I retired to the Club... The Bahamas Cricket Club, that is. We went Conch-Wild there. We started with Conch Chowder.

Our waitress, Clinique, brought us some bread to go with the Soup.  

After that, it was Conch Salad and Conch Fritters. 

The reason that there are two things of Fritters is that we ordered the Large Order. They brought the Small one and we were fine with that. When they figured out what had happened, they foisted the Large ones on us, too.

I ate all my Soup, about 2/3 of the Conch Salad, and more than half of the expanded order of Fritters.

I learned something at Dinnertime: "Anytime Dining" is fun and convenient, except for the time when EVERYONE wants to eat dinner at once. The line for a table was halfway around the ship after the first football game ended. We went up to look at the Buffet, but it was not all that exciting. Denise was still not feeling well, so Patrick and I left the boat again and went to eat at Sharkeez, right outside the Port. They were showing football.

Everything pretty much came at once, but we started with an order of Chicken Wings in Jerk Sauce.

I might have had one more than half of them, but I'm not sure.

For our Main Courses, I had a whole Fried Snapper, and Patrick had the Rib-Eye Steak. My Fish came with Rice & Peas and Steamed Vegetables. 

Patrick has clearly grown leaps and bounds in just a short time in his ability to take a good Blog Photo. As to the food, my Fish was fine. I ate the whole thing. Patrick polished off his Steak as well.

When we got back to the boat, Patrick disappeared to go tend to Denise. I watched the end of the game in the Casino. When I got back to my room, I was greeted by a Whimsical Towel Turtle.
