Year 2 Day 284 – “Living the Dream”. Monday, 2/06/2023. Day 2 of 7-night MSC Meraviglia Caribbean cruise. Nassau, Bahamas today! Okay we have officially found the worse internet at sea. It is slow slow and slower. Here’s a video of our balcony stateroom 14193.
I love the windows in the Marketplace Buffet on the MSC ships. Look at the awesome view you get with morning coffee. This is where you will find me every morning.
After early morning coffee we headed to the dining room for breakfast. Here’s the menu. It was very crowded and loud.
We pulled into Nassau at noon time
and the ship was not cleared to go ashore till 1:30 pm. We walked around the ship took some pictures. The game area is very nice.
We say awhile on deck 5 by the Jean Phillippe Chocolat and cafe. These guys are artists.
Excellent coffee here!
Swarovski crystal staircases grace the main atrium stairs on MSC ship. It is so elegant and beautiful.
It is nice and sunny outside. There is nothing like the warm sun in the Bahamas in the winter.
Then there is the gym.
Here’s a video of the LED ceiling show on promenade deck 5 between noon and 1:30pm. It is so cool the shows they do. You actually feel like you are in the ocean with this show.
The new dock area is progressing quickly now.
Since we have the Bella experience, we don’t get tissues in our room. We decided we would go find a grocery store and buy a box of tissues. This is a very touristy area and we walked for about an hour all over trying to find a grocery store. We went u through town and then back by the water.
It amazed me that those dogs were right there while the sand was being dumped, the one laying in the pile was limping. Come on dumb dog, get up and move!!
Then we were told it was across from the Burger King and funny basically to the right of where we docked. A box of tissues cost us $4.40. We gave them $5.00 in US money, and they gave us 60 cents in Bahamian money for change. As you know I like to learn something new about everywhere we visit. So, I looked up the US Bahamian exchange rate and learned that the Bahamian dollar is pegged to the US dollar. The Bahamian dollar is also the official currency of the Turks and Caicos Islands. B$ designates Bahamian dollar. The Bahamian dollar replaced the pound in 1973.
We got back to our room at 3:30pm and there was a note saying we have dining for 6:30 every night starting tonight in the D’orce Restaurant. We will check it out this evening.
Today’s product recommendation is for the Rev-A-Shelf. I love this for my pots, pans and lids. The one we recently installed is the 21 inches with a spot on the top shelf for the lids. We will also be installing a smaller one for baking dishes. These are awesome. https://amzn.to/3CzOwwq https://amzn.to/3ZcBuyq
