>_> Oh yeah.
Bahamas were awesome.
The Cruise itself--I give a 7/10. Some of the crew---I nearly tossed overboard. You could tell from the environment that it was definitely a family-oriented thing---which is fine, but also annoying. I tried to use the pool a few times and then some random kid would come falling from the sky, deciding that my head was a good landing spot.
Ryan and I had tons of fun though. We watched Coraline like 10 times, Monsters vs. Aliens, played Hide and Go Seek, tried to enjoy the game room (which was lame, as we both stated), ate, ran around, splashed each other, dunked sand down each other's shirts...was some great bonding time.
The Cruise Off-Shore Excursions were completely overpriced for no reason. Luckily, grandma told us we had relatives that lived in Nassau. O_O. We were all very "wut the--", but yeah, I apparently have relatives there. So we were all "hei" and she was all "OH MAH GAWD" and she took us around (which was awesome---she showed us the "REAL" Nassau, not the touristy crap--and all for free). She took us to her house which had a mango tree and we ate mangos till we collapsed.
lol, she told us why Bahamaians hate Jamaicans (lol, we're seen as the "pushy Americans" of the Caribbean lulz). From a linguistic standpoint (you know I was going there, lulz.), their Creole is a lot slower and heavily influenced by British English--moreso than Jamaican Creole. Half the time, my mind kept wandering when our relative kept talking. SO DAMN SLOW.
My father reveled in the fact that we were driving on the left side of the road again. lol
I took tons of pics, and I have quite a few stories to tell but I guess I am reserving them for people who want to hear about it. D: Not gonna waste the effort to type it out! Will probably upload pics to photobucket when I kidnap my father's camera/develop pics from my old fashioned disposable cameras---yeah I totally forgot my camera in NY. GO ME.
