Tips and Updates from My Latest Bahamas Cruise
Hi Reader,I just got back from my latest cruise a couple of weeks ago, and if you’re planning a cruise to the Bahamas or the Caribbean, this issue brings together a few helpful updates and the cabin essentials I never sail without. Whether your itinerary includes Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay, Nassau, or a departure from Port Canaveral, these tips can help you make the most of your trip. A Quick Update From the BahamasOn my latest cruise, we were scheduled to sail from Port Canaveral to Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay, and Amber Cove. Hurricane Melissa changed the plan and rerouted us to Nassau instead of Amber Cove. It was a good reminder that itineraries can shift during storm season, but you can still have a great day in port. In Nassau, we took a land tour centered on the island’s history and local flavors. We visited a rum cake factory, a rum distillery, and a tea factory, each offering a look at how local products are made. We wrapped up the tour with lunch, which made the day relaxed and memorable. 4 Things I Always Pack for a CruiseThese four small items make every cruise cabin easier to manage.
