the final bit

our mickey alarm woke us up and told us "there's fun to be had"

after a quick shower we packed up and with one last look from the balcony we headed back to animators for brekkie, we had another lovely brekkie and then it was time to leave the ship

the process of leaving is very smooth and it would have to be as i suspect there are very few happy faces to be coming off, collecting the cases we had a slight panic when we thought one was missing but we soon found it with the porters help (for which he was given a bigger tip) he rolled them outside to our driver and with another limo trip waiting for us to ease the pain of leaving the ship, waving bye to the ship like big idiots we were soon heading back to the villa with a movie to watch for the kids and the sodas discovered in the ice box did a great job of distracting them that the cruise was finally over

i would have been gutted if we were going home but with still another week left of the holiday i could handle the cruise coming to an end

would we do it again? well that's easy the answer would be yes definately

the stangest thing no one has mentioned in all the pre cruise reading i did was that you still feel the effects of the ships movements for a good day after there was many a time sat on the lounger by the vila pool that i felt the motion of the ship, dh reckons the kahula i was consuming at the time could have played a part as he didn't suffer from this strange sensation at all

so that's it the end - i hope you enjoyed reading it and that it wasn't too long or boring

Great report - I really enjoyed reading it and your pictures are brilliant (mental note to self to definitely ditch my seriously bad Olympus FE170 before next cruise)

Wow ... the size of that balcony ! ... looked like you almost had your own private deck !

Made ours look like a shoe box ... nevermind the view is exactly the same (lol).

Glad you enjoyed in Marie, hopefully your next trip to Fl you will be at Windwood Bay again and we can enjoy a cocktail or 5! xx

P.S I don't like the Bahamas but didn't want to say anything before you went, just incase! I went in 87 and it was the same then.

An excellent trip report...but why is it hidden away in the cruise forum? I'm sure lots of people would love to read this and be inspired to cruise.
Thanks for taking the time to do the report and your photos are fantastic.
