We docked in Nassau early in the morning and after a full breakfast, we made our way off the ship around 10:00. We took a brief tour of the island by horse and carriage and later, spent the day at a nearby beach. Like most islanders, the Bahamian people were friendly, charming and easy going. I enjoyed the colorful and historic architecture on the island and of course, the crystal blue Caribbean Sea.

The girls experienced snorkeling for the first time and loved it. Since we couldn't find a mask and snorkel that would fit them, Miss Tanya (their swim teacher) suggested that we use their swim goggles and a noodle. They simply hung on to the noodle and put their head underwater to see the fish. The girls got to play in the sand, make their beloved sand castles and enjoy a great family day on the beautiful beach. It was perfect!

Later that afternoon, the girls went to the Oceaneer's Club for kids. With so much going on during the day, they were only there for about 45 minutes before we had to go to dinner. During that time, they enjoyed themselves and even had a surprise visit from Snow White. The kids club had various activities throughout the day and seemed like a great place for kids to hang out. Morgan and I simply used this time to leisurely get ready for the evening. Dinner on this second night was at Parrot Cay, a casual Caribbean themed restaurant. The service and food was so much better than what we experienced the night before. We very much enjoyed our dinner. The highlight of the night was the show at the Walt Disney Theatre. Each night of the cruise, there was a different show. Unfortunately, we missed the show on the first night because we over slept during our afternoon nap. Toy Story the Musical was fantastic! Morgan and I were blown away at the caliber of performance and production. The shows that we saw after dinner were even better than some that we've seen on Broadway. The girls did great during the show and loved all the movie's cast of characters. They made it through the entire 80 minute show without incident. Now they certainly know who Woody and Buzz Lightyear are! Day 2 was awesome!
