Clocks back again or was it forward this morning (I'm starting to get as confused) so we are up and on the balcony at 6.30am watching the sun rise slowly over the Island of New Providence whose name I didn't even know. Excuse my ignorance but I just thought the island was called Nassau. We slip in through the narrow harbour entrance, spin gracefully 180 degrees and back slowly into the pier. We are followed by 3 other ships a couple more Carnivals - Elation & Victory - and Disney's Dream. Quite classic, I love their look but not the screaming kids!
Gemma brings us our final breakfast this morning so we thank and tip her a little extra for what has been a truly delightful service every morning. By 9.00am its already passing 80c so we decide to head out and have a little exploration of the more historic areas of Nassau.
Once free from a gaggle of taxi drivers touting for business we have a look at the Cathedral and the cloister gardens, the Governor's House before then circling back to Parliament square. These areas are quite pretty compared to the frankly grotty high street and the light is superb this early in the morning.

It is now just a little too hot for my pale English skin, we are back on board by 11:30 and sitting round the pool slowly frying. Splendour of the Seas has arrived and is now doing the 180 degree spin in the harbour bringing the total here today to 5 ships. Glad we got out and about nice and early.
I think we must be more city or countryside tourists as I'm not sure what on earth I would do on a Caribbean cruise if the Bahamas is anything to go by .
We leave at 5.00pm pulling out with horns blazing to tempt the Disney Dream to respond. Of course she cant resist and gives us a send off with several of her tunes.
Great dinner tonight and a final show featuring Christina from The Trends band as Adele, just fantastic & the Jersey Boys tribute band December 63 also do a short set, great entertainment all round.
