day two was the day of our first excursion. we docked in the bahamas during the night so monday morning we had to be at the end of the pier at 8 o’clock in the morning. this monday morning we were going to swim with dolphins. we were both really excited. so we got down to deck zero about 7:30 thinking that 30 minutes would be enough. NOPE SORRY! it took us 45 minutes to get off the boat and our dadgum dolphin swim excursion left without us. THEY LEFT WITHOUT US! we were a little upset. (and by a little i mean we were totally hacked) well, we got stuff worked out. we got reimbursed for the missed excursion and lined up dolphin swin for another day.

so while we were in the bahamas we went snorkeling. it was niiiice. we bought a bag of fish food for $1 and while we were in the water we would simply drop a small handful of fish food in the water and then look underwater at the mass chaos that was about to take place. it was a great experience.

we had to be back on the boat at noon on monday so after snorkeling we went back to the ship, waited in line, boarded the ship and then hung out at the food buffets for lunch and then that evening we went to the musical on the ship.
day two was a great day.

day three was simply a day at sea. not very exciting. we just floated on sea for a day and again spent time at the buffets. 24 hour buffets. amazing.

here are a couple more shots.
