Mebert Posted December 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hi everybody, We will be sailing to Freeport and Nassau, Bahamas in April. My traveling companion is slightly disabled and does not like to do beaches or snorkeling. Is there anything interesting to do in Freeport and Nassau that precludes water activities?

BoatrideLover Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Can't help you with what to do at Freeport or Nassau because we always stay on the ship. But I wanted to tell you that we LOVE the Fantasy. Also, with regard to your traveling companion being slightly disabled, when we sailed on the Fantasy this past January, the staff at the port and the crew on the ship treated my mother wonderful!! She was in a wheelchair at the time. We had taken a limo to the port, and the minute we got out of the limo and the port staff saw my mom's condition, they came running with a wheelchair. The staff on the Fantasy ship itself could not have been more accomodatingg; they were just wonderful! Do NOT hesitate to ask for any kind of assistance on the ship because I'm sure they will be just as helpful for you. Have a wonderful cruise on the Fantasy!!

Mebert Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Thanks for the info Boatride Lover, I'm looking forward to sailing on a slightly smaller ship then the Destiny. I'm curious as the the activities on the ship while it was at port in Freeport and Nassau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoatrideLover Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 We were in Freeport from 7am until 4pm. The only thing going on, on the ship, was a card players meet, and card playing in the library, a volleyball tournament and a silent auction of Thomas Kinkade paintings. And, of course, the pools were open. We were in Nassau for 24 hours, but the casino still opened at 7pm. Carnival received a waiver about the casino being open while in port, since we were there for 24 hours. As for activities during the day, it was basically the same as Freeport, card playing, a volleyball tournament, and of course there's always chess, shuffleboard, and a reggae band playing by the pool in the afternoon. Hope this helps a little! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
