New places in Nassau...

I have officially stopped trying to keep track of how many times I have been to different ports, except Belize (7) as you have to write it down on the customs form. Today I am back in Nassau (?) but going to some different places.


First we (Mark Simmons comedian, Vega the break dancer & I) went to a Pirate Video Store. While Nassau is the Pirate Capital of the Caribbean, there was no Captain Hook or Black Beard, instead they have bootlegged DVD’s; 5 for $20 and you can test them on a TV to check out the quality. I’m just saying that was the price & what happens there, I would never participate in such an illegal operation.


Next we went to a restaurant called Conch Fritters. Was it for their great food, cheap drinks or fantastic service; No. It for the same reason the cruise ship staff or crew go anywhere; FREE Wifi. The food was really good (I had the meatloaf), not sure if the drinks were cheap as I am not ingesting any alcohol whilst on the detox and the service is like it is most places in the warm sunny Caribbean... very slow.


Another thing I really love about The Dream. They have a dedicated “crew” gangway when we get to a port. That means no waiting for the passengers to leave first or huge lines to get back on board. It is a little thing but it makes me so very happy.
