Creator's Key Takeaways

we were on the latest Celebrity ship the ascent and the magic carpet on board gave excellent viewpoints

it's a great place for a drink elsewhere in Nassau coming up in a moment but for those who want something nearby junen new ticks the boxes

we've had a great time we've enjoyed herself but as in anywhere around the world you do have to keep your wits about you
