Nassau, Bahamas

First stop on the Majesty was Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. We learnt pretty quickly that the cruise loved taking cheesey photos everywhere so we got into the spirit of it:

The Island was absolutely beautiful, though we didn't see too much of it - instead choosing to spend the day at the luxurious Atlantis resort. This photo was actually taken opposite the resort, but loved the pastel coloured buildings - very Bermuda-esque.

I'd seen the resort on movies before but spending a day there was just incredible. There were dozens of pools, waterslides, private beaches and water activities, it was pretty expensive just to hang out there for the day so I'd hate to think what the room rates are.

The resort also had probably the best aquarium I've ever seen - many huge pools that could be viewed both below and above water. Apparently it's especially famous for its predator pools which contained (among others) some absolutely huge sawfishes, hammerhead sharks and sting rays. A couple of the water slides went through these pools too which was great fun!
The day ended a little early when a pretty vicious thunderstorm hit the Island. All the pools were immediately evacuated because of the danger if lightning struck. I'd never heard of evacuating pools during a storm before, but I know I definitely wouldn't want to be struck by that lightning!

As with most Caribbean storms, it had passed within an hour and we were treated with a nice sunset as we left the harbour.
