As I have now visited the port of Nassau in the Bahamas several times in the last few years whilst on different cruises, I was recently looking online for something different to do on my next trip when I discovered Ardastra Gardens and Wildlife Conservation Centre. Ardastra Gardens is located 1.5 miles from Nassau Cruise Port and visiting the park by yourself is very easy to do so there is no need to pay for an expensive and overpriced organised tour as there really is no need.

Despite desperately wanting a lay in on this day, I was wide awake just before 7:00am which was the last thing I wanted after another late night and what I knew was going to be a long day ahead. I was also still feeling incredibly full after having such a wonderful dinner at Enchanté the evening before. After laying in bed awake for a few minutes and realising that I had to move, I decided to do something completely different that I had not ever done before on a cruise and that was to go to the gym!

On the third day of our cruise onboard the beautiful Disney Wish, I woke up at 6:30am ready for our first port day in Nassau. I walked out onto our balcony and it was already light out and the weather was absolutely perfect with no humidity at all which was going to make for a very comfortable day in the Bahamas. As there was only going to be the three ships docked in Nassau on this day, we had already planned what we were going to do and take advantage of a quieter port as we knew that it was going to be a lot busier later that week when we returned on the second half of our back to back cruise.

The city of Nassau in the Bahamas is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world however nowhere else in the world splits people’s opinions like Nassau does. So many people have preconceived ideas about Nassau and believe that it is boring, unsafe and that you must book an organised excursion if you venture out as well as saying that you should just stay on the ship as it is not worth getting off at all! However you will soon happily discover that Nassau is a wonderful place to visit and there is a whole lot more beyond the port in Nassau other than Atlantis and Señor Frogs! (more…)

On the final day of our Halloween on the High Seas cruise to the Bahamas onboard the beautiful Disney Dream, I woke up just after 7:00am to the weather that we had wanted on every other day of the cruise as it was absolutely perfect with bright blue skies, sunshine, no wind and calm seas. (more…)

After a few solid hours of sleep, I woke up early at 6:55am. I tried going back to sleep but that was never going to happen. After sitting in bed with some tea and watching the Good Morning Disney Dream show on the television, I looked out of the window to see that we were approaching Nassau. It looked very stormy outside with lots of grey clouds to be seen and we were also treated to the sight of a beautiful rainbow. (more…)
