They Honeymoon to the Bahamas

We spent our honeymoon on a NCL Bahamas Cruise. It was absolutely perfect. The only minor bummer was that I (Kelsey) was sick the entire time. The sinus infection/bronchitis/other ailment I have has stuck around since the evening of the wedding until now. It is much better than it was, though. Antiobiotics work wonders!

Back to the trip recap. We flew into Miami and headed straight to the port. Our days were spent in Freeport, Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau.

We were on our way for our much anticipated scuba excursion when we noticed a little piece of paper tucked in our door. Due to "in-climate weather" and "lack of participation," our excursion was canceled. Luckily, our room was within feet of the excursion desk. We went to talk with them and were convinced to change to spending the day "Wyndham all-inclusive Resort." It was a cheaper excursion, plus we saved 10%! Not bad. Unfortunately, all-inclusive resorts are not quite so fantastic when the weather is uncooperative.

They are gorgeous, though!

We had a great time, but ending up grabbing a taxi back with some other people around lunchtime and ultimately got half of our money back. How rare is it to make money on a cruise?!

Day two was spent at Great Stirrup Cay, a private island owned by NCL. We did an awesome kayak tour and were able to be wading in water within feet of giant stingrays, starfish and even jelly fish. A little scary, but a great memory. (Sadly, they said not to bring cameras with. A good choice, as they would have gotten drenched and probably been wrecked).

Day 3 we docked in Nassau. We at at Senor Frogs, shopped the straw market and bought ferry tickets over to Paradise Island. The beach there is unreal. It was a bummer that we did not have swimsuits and were running low on time.

The cruise ended and we spent two days in Miami. We had the perfect morning at South Beach. We had the place as much to ourselves as I think is possible in such a hoppin' place.
