The day after the Bahamas was an at sea day, so we had a bit of a lazy start. I briefly checked out the salsa dance class in the morning, then headed upstairs to the gym to get my usual 5K in. I enjoyed some of the dishes afterwards at the Spa Cafe, but later went for a second lunch where they had the most amazing seafood soup. Dinner was at the Tuscan, where things took a 180 and I had…
Day 2 was our first port of call in the Bahamas. I’m glad we started off with CocoCay because it was my least favourite out of all the ports we visited. While I did appreciate the beaches, the island didn’t have much local charm as it’s owned by the Royal Caribbean Group exclusively for use by their guests.

I had meant to grab something the previous night, but since it was a stat holiday a lot of places were either closed or had closed early. After finishing breakfast, I headed back out again towards Parliament Hill, where I had a tour of the House of Commons booked for 9:40am. One of…
