Trip to Miami/The Bahamas

In the summer of 2011, me and four of my cousins were trying to decide where to go on vacation, so my uncle offered us tickets on the Norwegian Sky cruise for 5 days.  The five of us booked our tickets to Miami, FL two days prior to boarding the cruise, so we can enjoy a little bit of the city, and one day after we would arrive back in Miami, so can relax before we have to travel right away.

We arrived in Miami, FL at noon, so we had enough time to go to the beautiful South Beach of Miami after we settled in our hotel room.  After we checked in at the hotel, we had lunch, and headed down to relax in the sun and enjoy a nice swim.

On the beach we were told to attend a party they had that same night not too far from where we were, called Nikki Beach. The party was a good time, and we met lots of tourists from different parts of the world.

The second day me and my cousins went to the shopping district on South Beach, and after spent the entire day swimming and enjoying the beautiful sand and clear water. The cruise board time was at noon, so we had to call it an early night so we can board the ship on time, and fit in breakfast before that as well.

From the moment we boarded the ship, we met lots of friendly people, and took part of different activities they had available for guests. On board there was a casino for those who were feeling lucky, a swimming pool at the upper deck, and 24-hour open buffet with food changing according to the hour of the day.

The ship took us to Freeport, The Bahamas on the first day; we spent the day on a beach there, and partied on board at night. The second day was an island that belonged to the cruiseline in the Bahamas. On the last day, we visited Nassau, Bahamas, where we met my uncles friend at the Atlantis resort on paradise island, Nassau.  We were treated very well, and received a pass for the day to enjoy the water park access and the amenities available.  From jet skiing, to snorkeling, that was my favorite part of the whole trip.  We boarded the ship, as it made its way back to Miami, FL, where we spent the whole day and came back the next day in the afternoon.
