After having a luxury ocean cruise on our someday list for many years, The Chief Of Staff & I will finally be taking the cruise plunge in January 2018.
As part of our January 2018 after-holiday vacation, we decided to take a 4-night cruise on the Carnival Liberty, departing Port Canaveral FL Jan. 7th, the week before we check in for the 1st of 2 timeshare weeks in Kissimmee FL.
The cruise is just to the Bahamas & back, with opportunities for shore excursions at Nassau and at Princess Cays, the cruise line company's private island destination.
We don't want to skip anything we'll later kick ourselves for missing, but we're not sure we want to sign up for any high-excitement or high-cost shore excursions at those 2 places. After all, there's lots to do aboard the ocean liner (according to the company web site) & the whole cruise is only 4 nights. Plus, we took a nice Bahamas vacation in Nassau several years ago (traveling by air), so we have a certain been-there-done-that feeling about touring Nassau.
Any insights & advice & suggestions, etc., from TUG folks who are not cruise newbies like us ?
