We got up and grabbed a quick breakfast before heading to the onboard spa for our couple's Swedish Massage. It was magnificent! Bryan's masseuse was a bit rough on him, and we were both sore the next day or two from them working on some pretty good sized knots in our backs and shoulders. But, we still enjoyed it!During the massage, we felt the ship docking in Nassau, The Bahamas. We weren't overly interested in this stop, but we did want to see the sights. We got ready and headed out for our Sea and See Tour. This tour started with a boat tour of the harbor. They guide pointed out where many famous people have residences and other landmarks. Then, out in the middle of the harbor, we switched to a boat with an underwater seating area to see the reefs and fish. After seeing the fish, we transferred back to our original boat to head back to shore. There a small bus was waiting to give us the tour of the city. (Not much to see, in our opinion, because we were on the older side and not over by all the fancy hotels and big homes.) He took us up to the water tower and an old fort, let us out for about 20-30 minutes, came back and took us back to the docks.

After our tour, we decided to head back to our ship for some swimming, looking around, and just having fun.
We enjoyed our dinner at the Animator's Palate. This restaurant is very fun with all the drawings and sketches from the movies (mostly Finding Nemo). We even had a chance to interact with Crush, the sea turtle. Bryan and I celebrated our anniversary this evening (even though our actual anniversary is in December, but since we were on this trip to celebrate, tonight was the night). After dinner, the head waiter brought us a delicious chocolate cake before the regular desserts we had ordered. The food was absolutely amazing!
Our Broadway style show for this evening was "Villains Tonight." A humorous show about Hades. After being defeated by Hercules, he has gotten too soft and the Evil-O-Meter is running dangerously low. He has to figure out how to refill it or risk losing his title of Lord of the Dead. He calls on many of the other Disney villains to help out. It was another very well done show.
After the show was our Pirates in the Caribbean evening. There was a brief stage show between dinner and Villains Tonight and fireworks after. (Disney is the only cruise line to have fireworks at sea.) We have always enjoyed fireworks, so this was lots of fun. It was interesting to see the other cruise ships in the area come closer to be able to enjoy the fireworks also.

When we got back to our room, this little monkey was waiting for us.
Another great day of vacation!
