Creator's Key Takeaways

I have a uh lunch reservation at chops at 12:15 so I don't really get a whole lot of time

my advice is if you don't have an Excursion I would kind of hang out on the ship before you come out into the a city

I realize now I am not a seafood eater I can use shrimp but not the muscles or oysters or any of those stuff

I think Carnival does it better I'm not going to lie but it's still pretty cool

Use crosswalks in Nassau to avoid traffic issues
Wait a bit before disembarking if only one ship is in port to avoid crowds

YouTube Video Description

Welcome to Day 2 on board the Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas as we port in Nassau, Bahamas during our 4 day cruise to the Bahamas with port stops in Nassau and Coco Cay. Day 2's big events are visiting Nassau, which I walked to the Queen's Staircase. It is also "formal night" so I got fancy and tried calamari (spoiler alert: I did not like it). Then I went ice skating for a bit and watched the main theater show called "Invitation to Dance". Finally I ended the night with the 80's Dance Party and watching Don Grey. Come along for the trip and hopefully it will give you an idea of what to expect if you have never been on a cruise before.
