That's not our ship, Grandma.

The third day of the trip, in Nassau, Bahamas, was my favorite day of the trip, and one of my favorite days of the summer, along with some concerts.
I woke up looking straight out at a sight I had seen only six months ago: Nassau. DUH. I had been there to see my brother off on SAS (Don't ask. Please). I hurriedly rushed outside with my grandmother and we proceeded to the shops, where we briefly glimpsed at small impulse items until I decided to meet back with my grandma outside the ship.
I went back into the ship and got a coffee, and also filmed some more videos, like a tour of the boat, and a special prank.
Time flies when you're having fun, and I ran out to meet Grandma outside the boat. We found the lady who took us to the man who took us the Segways (phew!). The van driver was a nice man named David. e expressedsome interest in seeing my videos.
We finally got to the segways, which were located in a cricket field. We met our guide, a man from Oregon named Erin. After a five minute lecture about the segways, we tried them out and began our guided tour.
After a quick, educational stop in Fort Charlotte, we picked our trip back up and everything was running smoothly until...
ELAINE FELL! We went down a ramp, and after clearing the ramp, Grandma continued riding into the street. We told herto turn around, and as she did, she hit a curb and fell backwards. She was okay, thanks to elbow pads and knee pads and such, and the segway was virtually unharmed.
We then finished the trip and returned to the Sovereign of the Seas, where we saw my favorite performer, Chad Chesmark, perform his unique brand of comedy and magic (I took a video of it).
The night wound down and so did we, as I went into my room and fell asleep.

Sun 'Nuff (Post 3, Elaine's Version)
Coco Cay Beach: Our first awakening after boarding the Ship was in the harbor of Coco Cay. It's an island owned by Royal Caribbean for the sole purpose of offering their passengers a day on the beach to surf, swim or parasail. We were all boarded on a tender that shuttled us back and forth to the "mother ship". The hard working crew aboard "Sovern of the Seas" prepared a bbq lunch and served it out of huts on the island. Steven and I spent about 15 minutes in the hot sun and decided immediately - this was not the route we wanted to prusue. Back on the ship pronto. We enjoyed shipboard activities the remainder of the day and into the evening. We tried to play bingo but when the bingo attendant told us it would be $70 to play - Steven ran in the opposite direction right after he told the guy - "I'm outta' here". All in all our second day was pleasant but uneventful.

Are You CocoCay With That? (Post 3, Steven's Version)
The cruise is done. But more about that later.
I woke up on the second day on Cococay Beach. Grandma and I had some breakfast, and headed straight over to CocoCay Beach, a private beach owned by Royal Caribbean. We took a tender over to the beach, (I have video of all of this) and wetook a tour of CocoCay. I left Grandma to sunbathe as I returned back to Sovereign of the Seas.
WhenI returned, I took a nap in my room (one of many), and I walked around the boat (with my camera in tow, of course) and filmed various things.
Grandma and I reunited, and she went to see a musical as I went to the teenagers club, Fuel. It was pretty cool. I got back to the room and fell asleep at around ten. The last thing I heard was the cruise liner slowly leaving the beach...
