Cruise to Paradise

So we went on a Carnival Cruise 2 weeks ago. This was my first cruise (Kirby's 2nd.) It was amazing. We had a blast and cannot wait to go again. Originally we were scheduled to leave from New Orleans and travel to Cozumel and Progresso for a five day cruise. However, because of the Swine Flu, our itinerary was change to go to Key West, Nassau, and Freeport, Bahamas for 7 days.
This is where we spent the majority of the time on the ship. Except for our last day at sea. Kirby and I were so badly burnt by then (Even with SPF 30!) we stayed inside all day.
Key West was our first stop. It was so beautiful. The weather was sunny and around 85 degrees. We just walked up and down the island exploring for our 6 (?) hours. Our next stop was Nassau, Bahamas. At first sight, it was not really what I expected. It was a little bit scary to tell you the truth. We ended up taking a taxi to the Wyndham and visited the beaches there. Last, we went to Freeport, Bahamas. Freeport was gorgeous as well. There we walked up and down the straw market and did some shopping. Didn't buy anything, however, because the prices were outrageous. The last days on the ship were just as fun as the days we made stops. All in all the trip was definitely worthwhile. I am already looking forward to next time...
