Bahamas Trip Report: Day 4

Day 4:

On Tuesday I woke up to a call telling me that my room service breakfast was on its way.  I would have liked to eat out on my balcony, but I ended up eating in my room because we were having really dreary and rainy weather.  After eating I decided that instead of heading to the island right away like I thought I would, I would head to the casino and wait out the weather.  I did pretty good on the slot machines and broke even after a couple of hours.

Some of the many slot machines

After I finished at the casino the weather had cleared up some so I decided to take the tender boat to the island. I got a frozen drink, put my feet in the water, ate at the buffet, and then bought some souvenirs before heading back to the ship.  Pretty much everything I had hoped to do!

Arriving at CocoCay

Lots to do on the island!

This is the only place to buy souvenirs on the island. Because it's owned by Royal Caribbean there's no haggling allowed.

Relaxing on a hammock with a frozen drink in the Bahamas…my idea of paradise!

When I got back to the ship I wanted to get in the pool, so I changed into my bathing suit and went upstairs to the pool deck. I wasn't up there for long before I started to feel like I could use a nap, probably from all the food I ate at the buffet!  I slept for an hour or two and then it was time to shower and get ready for the formal dinner. Tonight I got a table by myself and had some really good food!  

After dinner I headed to the top deck to watch the sunset.  I met a nice guy who was also watching the sunset.  We talked for a while and then met up an hour later at the R Bar in the Centrum.  They were having a 70's disco party in the Centrum, complete with lots flying of balloons, the Village People, and a conga line!  When I returned to my room I had a towel elephant waiting for me.
