Set sail around 5PM from the bustling port of Nassau. ENTs probably have a constant clientele of tour hawkers following the cruise ships abandoning the docks of this island paradise. With 6 ships in port, it was a real money maker for the locals. Finally they can get some peace and quiet.
Dinner was enjoyable with our personable waiter, assistant, supervisor, and charming table mates. 4 of the 7 continents were represented by our little gathering. Along the food line, my favorite was the jalapeno potato soup. Yummy!
Entertainment was billed as energetic Celtic music akin to Riverdancee revisited; LIVE WIRE. My expectation was upbeat violin/ stringed instrumental music and perhaps a jig or two. The duet’s name was a misnomer. I recall Dueling Banjos as a lively piece not the tempo of of the beginning strings playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at their first performance. Marshall’s eyes were drooping and I caught myself nodding off only to be awaken by the audience applause after each piece. The patter between songs was so canned the performer didn’t seem to know that this is not a 7 day cruise. It was only a 50 minute performance, but it seemed much longer.
Room service has made us “live wires” with the cookies and hot chocolate; just in time for us to go to sleep and rest up for another day at sea. Just checked the promenade and the only sign of life is the karaoke at the Pig and Whistle. People must also be resting up for a lively day at sea.
