Hi guys,
Almost done preparing the itinerary.
We picked YTD, there are no speciaty dining on our ship* and there are usually no show hours set in stone. I noticed that since we are staying on the ship in Nassau and going to HMC and Grand Turk, outside of the "All Aboard" time, there was not much to add to the schedule.
You know what that means, right? We have to go with the flow. No overplanning this time.
Which is a breath of fresh air compared with DCL where I had to stay up until midnight to book a cabana, palo brunch, meeting characters, etc... Rush to clean up after the beach so we could make it in time for dinner...
I had previously booked a cabana in Grand Turk (and almost booked one in HMC as well) but cancelled it because we want to be free to explore on our first visit there.
Cabanas in both destination were easily available. They don't seem to be that popular even though they are much more affordable than Cabanas at
Castaway Cay.
So in the end, the only "events" appearing on my schedule on port days are:
-Wake-up & breakfast
-Arrival time (to destination)
-All aboard time
And on a sea day:
-Wake-up & Brunch
I kept empty spots to write down activities when I receive the Fun Times...
It feels weird compared to the overplanning. Preparations for this trip is so relaxing!
*Even where there is specialty dining on the Canival ships, reservations. are quite easy to get.
