Day 2 - Monday, February 15, 2010

So began back and forth nights of not sleeping very well.  Sarah and I seemed to take turns...  When we finally got up and moving, it was a bit late for breakfast so we wandered around a bit.  The ship had pulled into Nassau, Bahamas early in the morning.  We were sandwiched between two other cruise ships.  Down near the end was docked the Pelorus - the 16th longest motor yacht in the world.  We spent some time oohing and aahing over what it would be like to sail on that.  It had a "garage" for small boats, jet skis, etc.  And 2 helipads.  Just crazy.

We ate lunch at the buffet and then grabbed our books to sit and read for awhile.  We had to keep moving because the sun was playing hide and seek but eventually found good seats up on top.  After reading time, it was naptime, and then time for a show.  We saw a musical version of Toy Story.  It was enjoyable.

Hidden Mickey!

Dinner was at Parrot Cay.  Couple #2 wasn't there, but everyone else was.  The Japanese couple left dinner early because girl was looking VERY sick.  They had to go track down a Japanese speaking cast member to translate for her.  Apparently there are only 2 Japanese people working onboard the boat...  Our dinner choices were:

Amy

Jamaican-Marinated Chicken Tenderloins

Parrot Cay Salad (with Warm Bacon Dressing - yum!)

Braised Jerk-Seasoned Pork Chop

Chocolate S'More Vanilla Cake

Sarah

Jamaican-Marinated Chicken Tenderloins

West Indies Romaine Salad

Island-Spiced Grilled Rib-Eye of Beef

Parrot Cay's Sweet Temptations

Dinner didn't drag on quite as long tonight, but Joel and Marco hadn't really improved in their speed and attentiveness.  After dinner, we wandered around a bit, checked out the store, and finally went to bed.  Piedad had left us a towel rabbit.  All in all, it was a nice, quiet day.
